Sarah Bush discusses the intersection of creativity, self-expression, and the artistic process in her work as a mixed media artist.

We also talk about healing through our work, making work that is true versus good, how risk changes as we get older, the role of mystery in her work, the threads that weave through it all, how to commit to your vision, and Sarah’s obsession with scale.
