The Subnormal Podcast

Apr 29 2023 • 1 hr 12 mins

Happy 3 years to the Subnormal Podcast! To celebrate 3 years of creative magic, I have for you a fantastic interview with artist, energy worker, and teacher, Nancy Martin. Here is a little more about our artist:"Nancy Martin is a Chicana mixed media artist, she creates out of her home studio in Menifee, CA. Her passion is sharing the process of creating art primarily with women, mothers and children. She believes creativity teaches sovereignty, connects us to our authentic selves, offers mental and emotional healing while building self confidence, neural connections, mindfulness and leads to fun fulfilling individual growth.


As a first generation Mexican American, Nancy was born and raised in the Inland Empire. She is primarily a self taught artist, yet she has a degree in Interior Design from FIDM, Los Angeles. A mother herself, Nancy understands the demands that modern aged mothers and women are up against and she has learned to use her art as a form of support for her mental and emotional health. In her motherhood journey with her 9 year old son, she has come to understand the beautiful connections that happen when mothers and children create together. She believes that bringing art into a community elevates the livelihood of its citizens and she strives to support her community with art.


As an artist Nancy is currently showing her latest collection “The Root”. Which is a narrative art series that is about connecting with your creative intuition and allowing spiritual and mental connections too to guide her through the creative process. This guidance allows her to connect to her authentic self to in turn share her story. Nancy also uses art as a way to release negative conditioning, allow her mind to process trauma and pain and alchemize them into art.


Nancy offers a variety of freelance art and energy services such as Logo & Graphic Design, Digital Illustration, Art Event Wellness Facilitation, Live Paintings, Wall Muraling, Energetic Clearings and Kids virtual Art classes."
