Anastasia Pather is a semi abstract, finger painter, a frequently distracted thinker and an uninterrupted female. Ana describes herself as a reluctant artist, a term that helps her focus on her process and not already being who you're hoping to become. Her art is large format paintings, typically containing gold leaf and mostly all painted with her hands.

What we chat about in this episode:

• What can result from being a tardy artist.
• Opening up to new mediums and looking at your surface anew
• A refreshing take on who art is for
• Whether an image or the artist is more important
• The two different worlds that artists need to navigate
• Being open to critique from social media to dig deeper into your style
