Storytelling through Tukutuku and sharing mātauranga with the world with Awhina Murupaenga | Founder & director of Whatu Creative

Season 2 · Episode 19

mardi 29 novembre 2022Duration 46:42

Today’s episode is with Awhina Murupaenga, a mum of two and founder and director of Whatu Creative.

Awhina launched Whatu Creative as a grief response to losing a best friend to cancer. She started with the intention of growing art exhibitions in Te Hiku, the Far North but, as for so many, Covid had other plans for them and she had to pivot her business. She created and launched her Tukutuku kits which are a contemporary take on a traditional Māori artform. The kits were an overnight success and they have struggled to keep up with the demand ever since.

Exploring the pain, hope & healing of being a mum with bipolar with Katie Rickson | Poet & Writer

mardi 22 novembre 2022Duration 48:17

Today’s episode is with Katie Rickson who is a poet, copywriter and editor and mum of one. Katie has had bipolar episodes for most of her adult life, but wasn’t diagnosed until she was eight weeks postpartum, and experiencing insomnia and mania. One thing that got her through this time was the mantra: “something beautiful will come from this.”

Katie now writes about her experiences of hospitalisation, diagnosis and identity, recovery, work, motherhood and more through her website Compassion Poetry. She’s been a guest lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington every year since 2018, a guest on podcasts, and a lived experience speaker at events.

Listening to your intuition, painting joy and the beauty of mixed blessings with Jen Sievers | Artist

mardi 31 mai 2022Duration 46:04

This week on The Creative Mother Podcast host Kate Hursthouse talks to artist and painter of joy, Jen Sievers. Jen's mission is to bring joy into your home. She does this with her distinctive colours, and by injecting all of her strongest positive, magical energy into every single piece. Jen paints joy. She uses acrylic paints with fresh colours, sweeping lines and a contemporary edge. She has worked in abstract and portraiture, but found her artistic home in contemporary abstracted landscapes. Colour is her love language.

A brush with breast cancer gave her the push she needed to become a full time artist and over the last few years she has gone from strength to strength. She paints obsessively in her home studio in the foothills of the Waitakeres, New Zealand - between being a mum and hatching plans for new creative projects.

The renaissance of making your own clothes with Tara Viggo | Pattern Cutter

mardi 24 mai 2022Duration 39:56

This week on The Creative Mother Podcast host Kate Hursthouse talks to the founder of Paper Theory Patterns, Tara Viggo. Tara was born in the Cook Islands and grew up in New Zealand, however Tara has been living and working in London as a professional pattern cutter for the last 16 years. During this time Tara has worked right across the Fashion industry, from Top Shop and All Saints to luxury catwalk brands like J.W Anderson, Erdem, and Roland Mouret. This breadth of experience gave her insight and expertise into how the fashion industry really works.It is this behind the scenes understanding that lead her to re-evaluate how the fashion industry was serving the public and prompted her to create a means for people to dip out of fast fashion without dipping out of fashion altogether. Paper Theory was created in a quest to help others who, like Tara wanted to get as far away as possible from the fast fashion system – but didn’t want to leave fashion altogether.

Designing for social impact through connections and community with Jade Tang-Taylor | Designer. Dreamer. Doer.

Season 1 · Episode 7

mardi 17 mai 2022Duration 47:02

This week on The Creative Mother Podcast host Kate Hursthouse talks to Jade Tang - Taylor who is a purpose-driven, design-led, creative social entrepreneur. Over the past 10-15+ years her career has been more of a squiggly line than a straight one, something I can really relate to. Jade has worked on a myriad of game-changing projects with change-making organisations, moving in & out of being a social entrepreneur to social intrapreneur across various organisations, industries & sectors. However, the common thread through them all is that she is deeply passionate about design for social innovation, social change & more recently systems change.
She brought Creative Mornings to New Zealand 10 years ago. Currently, the main "hat" she wears is the Director of Innovation & Partnerships at Innovation Unit. She is also an Edmund Hillary Fellow, a SheEO activator but most importantly Jade a proud working mum of one.

Navigating chronic health, motherhood and healing through art with Mica Still | Street Artist

Season 1 · Episode 6

mardi 10 mai 2022Duration 44:22

This week on The Creative Mother Podcast host Kate Hursthouse talks to Wellington based street artist Mica Still. Mica has represented herself throughout her career, showing in over 100 exhibitions. She has been an art mentor, curated shows, a fundraiser and has caught the eye of many NZ and Australian collectors. In the last decade she has moved her practice to the streets gaining recognition quickly for her bold animals that dominate the urban landscape and serve as guardians. Mica’s work, with its radiant colour and optical punch, howling tigers, wolves, guardians and naughty bits – is alive, daring, yet refreshingly sensitive. The jolt of her work contrasts with Mica’s trademark gentle demeanour. Mica has battled several chronic health issues over the years including Endometriosis and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, while juggling motherhood and a creative career and I really appreciate her openness in this conversation.

Rediscovering a new balance in art and motherhood with Jasmine Kroeze | Artist & Textile Designer

Season 1 · Episode 2

mardi 12 avril 2022Duration 49:54

This week on The Creative Mother Podcast host Kate Hursthouse talks to Jasmine Kroeze an artist and all round mess maker from Pāpāmoa Beach in New Zealand.

Jasmine paints original artwork and large scale murals. From her home studio, she also creates digital art in the form of textile designs and art prints. Jasmine’s work is a colourful chaos of cut out shapes. She draws inspiration from nature and creates her initial designs through paper collage and hand drawn marks. Her signature style has evolved through the way she plays with form, shapes and layering. Jasmine’s work is undeniably beautiful and organic.
