Ep 58: Karen Higgins - The Pursuit of Creativity - Leaping into Full Time and Flying
Karen Higgins is a self taught artist who has had a life long fascination with the natural world, its interconnectedness and intelligent design.
Her work combines silver clay and traditional metalsmithing methods to showcase the beauty and elegance found in roadside weeds, bits of shell, feather and seed pods that one might otherwise overlook, but we are always surrounded by.
But creating beautiful jewelry is only one of Karen’s artistic talents. Karen also paints, but put that aside to focus on her growing jewelry business. As with many creatives, Covid gave her a push to go all in as an artist and turn one of her creative passions into her full time career.
Karen shares how she is still navigating life changes and balancing creative exploration with maintaining a sustainable income. We talk about IG, her experience with publishing a tutorial in a jewelry magazine, andhow she fell in love with PMC — a discovery shifted her relationship with her art and what she could create.
