The thing I appreciate most about how Nirrimi shares her experience of finding and using artistic courage, is the deep desire she expresses to demystify her creative process: it’s often hard, frightening and messy. It’s also magical, thrilling, and, most of all, doable. Nirrimi’s honesty, vulnerability, and generosity of spirit radiates from her work. For any artist desperately wondering where to start, re-start, or how to take steps beyond fear towards living and practising a creative life, Nirrimi’s clear and beautiful narratives offer the steadying hand we all crave when we’re uncertain. Her work invites us, with great solidarity, to go inward, toward our own stories, and tap into our own sense of inspiration and artistic courage.

I found Nirrimi’s blog many moons ago and her vulnerability and openness had a powerful impact on me. When we finally met, her strength and the dedication she had to her craft was palpable. When she joined my band’s tour across America she spent so many late nights writing from the tour bus in-between shows. She has found a way to channel all of her creative energy and make it a natural part of her daily life. Her enthusiasm and boldness is a constant inspiration to me and I am in awe of her genius. If you’re like me, a little unstructured with so many things to say but not always sure of how to get them out, Nirrimi has answers.

Nirrimi is one of those rare people who is instinctively and intrinsically creative yet also takes control over her craft. She doesn't rely on inspiration, she creates it. Through discipline and a keen inner eye, she makes her own wonderland of structure and creativity. A few years ago I invited Nirrimi to teach a workshop and speak on creativity for Promoting Passion, a convention I run for artists. Her insights, knowledge and the tools she shared were invaluable.

I've long admired Nirrimi and her ability to share her story in a way that connects with people and makes the world a better place. The moment I met her, heard her story, and saw her strength, I knew that she had to be a guest on my podcast that celebrates people who are rejecting cynicism and using their lives to make a difference. I also knew that she was someone I could always turn to for creative inspiration, life wisdom, and a sense of hope. It's powerful to be able to see behind-the-scenes on how she continues to create meaningful work, even when surrounded by the chaos of life.

Nirrimi lives and breathes creativity more than anyone I have ever met. She doesn’t just tirelessly chase her own dreams, she champions the dreams of those around her too. She makes you feel like you can do anything. After a decade of full-time work as a successful writer, photographer and creative she has rare wisdom and insights into a sometimes intimidating and mysterious path. She has the ability to simplify every step of the creative process in a way that makes it feel possible for anyone to reach their goals. My own creative practice has been enriched by what I’ve learnt from Nirrimi and I would recommend her course to anyone seeking to sharpen their abilities and become more intentional with their lives.
