Heeyoung Noh is an emerging painter from South Korea, who explores themes of intergenerational trauma, diaspora and the female body.

We talked to Heeyoung about her experiences working with intense and personal subject matter, her experience studying and working across multiple countries and cultures, and how she maintains a healthy artist community in times of isolation.

As artists we can feel that we are not deserving of a community. That our work is not good enough or real enough to connect with other artists, and that we are the only ones who feel like this. What is the solution to this feeling of isolation? Carving out your own community, and finding those like you. This week we dive into the radical act of building artistic community and lay some foundations for how we are building community through the Healthy Artist podcast, with information about upcoming courses, mentorship programmes, and in person meet ups!

In this week we interviewed Hector Campbell. Hector is an art historian, writer and curator based in South London. He is the director of Soup Gallery in Elephant & Castle and runs a weekly newsletter called The Shock of the Now and much much more. We loved hearing about Hector's journey, work ethic and advice for artists. Make sure to sign up to his weekly newsletter here.
