It’s never lost on us that art, in whatever capacity is an extension of that person’s heart, soul, dreams and boundless imagination. It wasn’t long before I was taken in, not just by the visual aesthetic of Nicole’s home and breathtaking surrounds but by her clay and acrylic paint creations, some of which eventually found their way to the walls of my home. I was first drawn to her poetic, curation of imagery and interior styling a conscious approach with the planet in mind, as well as a gifted ability to source objects second hand and mix them seamlessly with the new. There are no rules, no limits, I can just exist and create. This is the true of how many, including myself have discovered the work by mother, artist, environmentalist and doula Nicole Holley of Lennon and Birdie. Instagram is still an incredible, modern, communication tool that facilities connection to story and takes you into the world of those you wouldn’t otherwise meet, across oceans from one home to another. There is good in the power of social media and its capacity to discover, connect with and support makers and creators from Melbourne, Australia to British Columbia, Canada and all ports in-between. This can be diffused however if you’re following those whose work inspires you, and whose stories energise and connect with you.
The curse of comparison might take hold and a sense of unease can set in with all sorts of feelings around success contrast, productivity shaming, self image, life image and such. When you find yourself travelling down rabbit holes on Instagram it can leave you feeling deflated.
