#18 | The Power of Storytelling - Why being Artist is as a Way of Living - Creativity as Flow of Energy - Why Creativity needs Structure -The Power of Living Your True Purpose | Charlotte Greenwood

I have the true pleasure to speak today with Charlotte Greenwood. A visual artist, filmmaker, storyteller and entrepreneur, she is originally from London and immigrated to Canada at the age of 33.

As a Visual Artist her medium of choice is painting and drawing. She also has been working in the entertainment business for 20+ years. Where she makes sets for films and TV shows, and also worked on many productions as a prosthetic make-up artist, making creature FX for films like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Brothers Grimm, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, James Bond and several of the X-Men movies.

Her mission is to develop unity within humanity and work towards a world of appreciation and connection, using storytelling and creativity as the channel of communication, and a conduit to change and transformation!

Highlights of our conversation:

- The magic and art of making movies and the power of storytelling
- How she uses storytelling and creativity as the channel of communication
- How she challenges and questions the status quo, addressing issues surrounding the interconnectedness of humanity, and the health of our environment in her art
- The power of living your life true to your nature and purpose
- Why everyone benefits from creative expression
- Why being an artist is a way of living - a mindset - and how it relates to intuition
- How she feels creativity - a flow of energy - coming and ‘just’ lets it come through
- Why as an artist you have your language - an individual flavor
- The differences between hyperrealism and more abstract & imaginary art, and how to master them both
- Her lessons learned from studying art and working in the movies
- How she creates imaginary worlds that are believable and appear hyperreal
- Why creativity gets lost without structure
- Why everybody has creative abilities
- How you can kickstart your creativity & artistic ability
- The process behind producing art: observe, record, abstract, characterise, practice
- How she discovers and portrait peoples’ essence in her ‘Project YOU’
- How drawings are windows into a person's story and character
