How Can You Live a Richly Creative Life, Yet Simplify With Purpose and Meaning? Anna MacDonald Melds Minimalism and Intentionalism in Her Life and Art

Margo is joined by minimalist abstract artist, Anna Macdonald. Anna works in water based media on paper, canvas and wood and her work delves into the importance of negative space and the Zen philosophy "Ma" - the spatial relationship between structural elements. Her paintings and drawings incorporate Shibumi principles; a complex process not evident in the outcome, creating works of unobtrusive beauty. Anna’s interpretation of Minimalism also incorporates influences from Abstract Expressionism, mid-century Abstraction and Japanese calligraphy with an inclination towards Constructivism.

Margo and Anna discuss:

• Her creative path

• How and why she went from shopaholic to intentionalist

• Intentionalism versus minimalism and the melding of the two

• Managing motherhood, a full-time career as a teacher, and her creative entrepreneurial work

• Her ADHD diagnoses and why she actual feels it’s her superpower

• Her online courses

• How she teaches others to be intentional in their own creative pursuits

• Living more meaningfully

• And more!
