Amy Digi and the lessons of art

Amy Digi is a New York artist drawing and painting the world around her

In this episode we talk about how art transcend language, how painting can improve mental health (and make you a better person) and the important of consistency to accomplish things

I really enjoyed talking to Amy and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too

Key take aways

1. Art is visual and needs no communication
2. Adults are allowed to play
3. Art is an introspective activity. Is mental health. If my hands are moving, I have a time out. If I have time out, I become a better person.
4. Physical activity help children cope with emotion. With anxiety. If they are not physical, they are going to make bad decisions.
5. Painting teaches you the importance of consistency. Matisse said: “showing up is the hardest part.” If you show up to do the work, everything else happens.
6. Painting involves all your senses and gives me a rush that cannot be replaced.
