Supporting New Artists

Morgana Tichondruis has big plans for supporting new artists in SmallWorlds! Are you a new artist who'd like to be partnered with a more experienced artist for invaluable mentoring? Perhaps you're an old hand and you'd like to share some of your hard won artistic wisdom?


A Beautiful Mind

Liam OSullivan's space "A Beautiful Mind" has boards to paint on, books to write poetry in... or you can just admire what others have created. Why not add your contribution someday soon?


Kyomii Brown - Painting through Pain

Have you seen the work of Kyomii Brown? Kyomii lives with constant pain and uses the creative work she does to help deal with that pain. Here, I talk to her about art, pain, creativity and a lot more besides...


Getting Better all the Time!

Hanzie Mintana asked a great question on the forums a few weeks ago: "What was your first painting and when did you paint it? Let's see how much all us amazing artists have improved!" Here I talk to Hanzie and another artist Robyn Thetiny about what's helped develop their skills.
