In this episode of Totally Abstracted, I explore colour as instinct, not rules or formulas. It’s a conversation about what happens when your work looks fine on the surface but feels hollow underneath, and how your colour choices often hold the key to reconnecting with yourself.

I share a personal story of losing my rhythm in the studio and rediscovering it through my “emotional home palette” of cool blues and violets, colours linked to memory, early mornings, healing and identity.

You’ll hear about:

• The difference between painting from presence vs. painting from habit

• Why colour theory is a map, not the terrain

• How intuition guides palette choices more accurately than logic

• The emotional “weather patterns” behind your favourite colours

• How to use colour to reconnect with your work when you feel stuck

I also offer a gentle prompt: choose your palette first and let it lead the painting. Listen now and and trust your colours.
