20: Art in Bloom: Cyanotypes, Mindfulness & Creative Community with Kristen Abbott

In this nourishing episode, Dr. Ciara Martin welcomes artist and nature-inspired creative Kristen Abbott to share her journey of weaving together art, mindfulness, and community. Known for her stunning cyanotypes—a botanical photography process that captures the essence of nature—Kristen reflects on the importance of slowing down, being present, and inviting others into the creative process.

From transforming a historic schoolhouse into a vibrant studio space to hosting retreats and nurturing her garden, Kristen’s life is a testament to the seasons of creativity, the wisdom of nature, and the power of artistic expression as a form of healing.

In this episode, we explore:
  • What cyanotypes are—and why they’re so magical
  • How art becomes a form of mindfulness and presence
  • Turning a schoolhouse into a community art space
  • Letting go of perfection and returning to creative play
  • Navigating motherhood while nurturing a creative path
  • The intersection of gardening, creativity, and healing
  • Why creativity is our birthright—and how to reclaim it
This episode is a gentle reminder that creativity is cyclical, community is healing, and even the smallest moments of presence can become art.
