061 - Laxmi Hussain, Artist and Illustrator - a podcast by Lola Hoad

This week, we’ve got Laxmi Hussain on the show. She’s an incredibly talented artist and illustrator who paints and draws in mainly blue ink and focuses on the female form, expressing what is beautiful about the diversity of women’s bodies, that we aren’t all the same and that should be celebrated. As a trigger warning, we do talk about the death of Laxmi’s mother last year and how she navigated grief through her work, so if this topic is a bit too triggering today, do come and listen on another day.
We also talk about:
- How motherhood gave her the push to put her art out there.
- Refining her style over the years.
- How her work became her therapy during her mother’s short illness.
- Why we don’t talk enough about grief.
- Her experience of being on Sky Art's Artist of The Year and honesty on social media.
- Her advice for any artist looking to get started.
