We Meet the Artist Flo Perry: Finding Joy in Art and Teaching
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we chat with the incredible Flo Perry — a fine artist who found her way to painting via an unusual path: chemistry!
Flo shares her artistic influences, her inspiring career change, and how she’s discovered happiness and balance through both painting and teaching, including her work with Community Focus.
We’re truly lucky to have her on the show. She talks us through her favourite painting and encourages us all to pursue our dreams.
If you want to be an artist — you can! Just stick with it, and keep practising.
To see more of Flo's work, visit her website here.
