© 2025 Daring Creatively: Navigating The Artist’s Journey with Authenticity
Description
Daring Creatively is a podcast for artists and creative souls navigating the messy, magical, and very real journey of making art. Hosted by contemporary Australian artist Korynn Morrison, each episode offers an honest, behind-the-scenes look at life inside a working studio — from commissions and creative blocks to rituals, self-doubt, and those strange sparks of inspiration that show up when you least expect them.
This is a space for curious minds and imperfect makers — where creativity is process over polish, and perfectionism gets shown the door.
If you’re carving your own creative path and want to feel a little less alone in it all, you’re in the right place.

Send us a text Inspiration floats around us energetically, waiting for us to realign with a beginner's mindset. At this point, creative flow is as simple as plucking fun out of thin air.

I recall jars filled with buttons and a magical rock that seemed to summon rain. Through this artwork, I celebrate the profound significance of lif...
