Sandra Duran Wilson Discusses Artistic Practice and Upcoming Projects on BoldBrush Podcast

In a recent BoldBrush podcast episode, abstract artist Sandra Duran Wilson shared insights into her creative process and career. Based in Santa Fe, Wilson described how her background in both science and art, including early plein air painting with her great aunt, shaped her experimental approach. She emphasized the importance of play, experimentation, and quieting the inner critic through techniques like timed exercises and maintaining a separate canvas for exploration. Wilson also discussed her book 'Awakening Your Creative Soul,' which offers weekly creative exercises partly inspired by her decade of work in addiction and trauma recovery. She highlighted her transition to full-time artistry through outdoor shows, teaching, and building collector relationships. Upcoming projects include a final in-person workshop in Ireland this summer and a long-term installation involving wrapping burned trees in painted canvases to address climate-change-driven wildfires.
