What happens when an Irish artist decides to swap a career in teaching and commercial illustration work for sharing her work on the vibrant streets of Barcelona? Meet an absolute legend: Tiny Hands Big Heart, whose artistic journey took her from back home in the hills of Donegal to the bustling art scene of Spain. Tiny shares her unexpected leap into street art during the solitude of the COVID-19 quarantine, where she found her character Ita and her love for the act of adorning public spaces with her creations.
In this chat, we explore the Irish concept of having "notions"— those brave, unconventional ideas that often challenge societal norms, which I am alllll about. From the therapeutic creation of Ita to the fun but chaotic experience of preparing for and hosting her solo art show, Tiny's narrative is all about the courage it takes to pursue creative ambitions whilst also balancing life's demands.
We delve into the rebellious world of street art, from dodging undercover police to embracing the unpredictability of freelance life. This is a story about the unyielding drive to keep the creative spirit alive and flourishing, and I can't wait to share it with you.
