Art, Grief, and Finding Joy Again with Fierce Sonia
In this powerful and intimate episode, Shannon Shine sits down with multidisciplinary artist Fierce Sonia to explore the intersection of creativity, grief, and rediscovered joy. πΏ
Together, we reflect on her current projects β from curating community sketchbook shows and hosting mixed media labs to preparing for local markets and connecting deeply with subscribers through zines and art mail.
She opens up about the recent loss of her mother and how that experience has reshaped her relationship with art, rest, and joy. Through vulnerability, creative ritual, and community support, sheβs navigating what it means to keep creating while healing.
We also dive into:
Monthly sketchbook meetups and the power of micro-lessons
Attending a womenβs songwriting retreat in Virginia
The gentle magic of Muse Zoom sessions and creative breathing space
Saying yes to slowness, reflection, and inspiration
This episode is a gentle reminder that creativity can hold space for both sorrow and celebration. β¨
