What do Jayne Good and Tom Hackett have in common?
Jayne Good is a certified Bob Ross instructor who teaches beginners how to paint idealised landscapes that frequently feature mountains, trees and lakes. In our conversation Jayne tells me how an unexpected misunderstanding led her to quit her job and take up art. “Bob Ross literally changed my life” she says.
Tom Hackett is a sculptor who uses large yellow silicon dogs as a pretext for holding conversations with members of the public. Tom tells me how he used to work in local government, until one day he was summoned into his manager’s office – and came out wanting to be an artist.
Many artists have somewhat circuitous routes into art. Click the links below to hear how Jayne and Tom found their creative calling.
