Welcome to a special Podcast Art Club segment of the show show called, The Art Habit.

In it, I talk with artists who are creating their art journeys.

Normally this is a Podcast Art Club exclusive but for this January, enjoy the whole episode.

Art Habit Guest: Allison Moir-Smith

If you’re on Instagram you may know her as @concussion_recovery_art.

Moir-Smith is an acrylic painter who came to art as part of a recovery process after a brain injury. She needed something to do for Brain Breaks and she found adult coloring books. This has expanded to a robust daily(ish) art practice where she explores subjects from flowers to landscape to fruit to now people.

Welcome to a special Podcast Art Club segment called, The Art Habit.

In it, I talk with artists who are creating their art journeys.

This is a Podcast Art Club exclusive so through December 2025, I’ll be sharing the whole episode. Then it’ll go back to being a 10-minute segment with the full episode available to Podcast Art Club Members over on Patreon.

First up: Tait Preis.

If you’re on Instagram you may know her as Tait Preis Art. Preis is an oil painter and in the full conversation, you’ll learn how to deal with burnout, how to find a schedule that works and ideas on where you might adjust your schedule so that you can paint more.

This conversation originally aired in 2022, and Preis is now working in new directions. Find more out about the amazing work Tait Preis is doing here:
