I’m delighted to welcome you to Through the Creative Door. Hello, Anthea Palmer. 00:52 - Anthea Hello, Alexis Naylor 00:53 - Alexis I am so chuffed to be chatting with you. You are such a vibe and I am in such awe of you. Oh, my goodness, that's so sweet. Welcome through the creative door as I come to your house. 01:06 - Anthea (Guest) Through my creative door. 01:07 - Alexis (Host) To your creative space. But before I launch into questions, I wanted to start with a little bit about you, which I mean. You are so multifaceted and there's so much to your career and you as a human being. But even just to touch the surface, um, you, you, you are the editor-in-chief of Jimmy Hornet's magazine, which is amazing. And I feel like, are you in the like the first year? 01:42 - Anthea Just through the first year 01:44 - Alexis Yeah, amazing, amazing. Um, you know, for those who may or may not know, you have a history of being an amazing musician and singer. You've been a teacher, a coach, a mentor, and you've also owned multiple you know music venues in overseas and here in Australia. And, yeah, I feel like I'm only touching the surface of who you are. 02:09 - Anthea (Guest) You get to an age and there's enough years that you've done a lot. That's all it is. 02:11 - Alexis Have I missed anything? What have I missed? 02:14 - Anthea I've had a couple of art galleries as well over the years and I did do a stint in the corporate world of communications. But yeah, that's, that's probably all of it pretty much. 02:28 - Alexis (Host) I feel like there's just so much is this sea of amazingness, that is, Anthea Palmer. But, um, so we'll go into, get into the first question. Yep, first question, and because you have such a array of history behind you, this is probably well, I don't know, maybe you have a different answer for, for a different uh, life, life force. But what does a creative space mean to you, and why? 02:55 - Anthea (Guest) um, it's a really interesting question. I think twofold. Firstly, personally, as a creative person, it means a lot to me to have an environment that's inspiring and comfortable. People find creativity in different places, and some people like chaos and stress, and out of that chaos and stress comes a creative flow. But for me it's far more about a bit of tranquility and I like to be surrounded with things that I love. And so, yeah, on a personal level, it means a lot. I've got to sort of have things ordered and things I love around me and be comfortable in my environment to really, um, work at my peak. 03:52 - Alexis (Host) When you, when you say things that you love, like would that be pieces of art or? 03:54 - Anthea yeah largely art 03:56 - Alexis yeah wow, have you got a particular piece of art that's like a bit of a anchor for you, or is it a particular artist? 04:03 - Anthea (Guest...
