Transforming Creative Block to Breakthrough - Ep 155

4 december 2024 | 33 min

You can actively pursue creative breakthroughs by taking deliberate breaks and trying new activities that shift your mindset from stuck to free-flowing. Creative breakthrough is an overflow state—it's living in higher energy and having more to give of yourself, to your art, to the world.

Living in a state of breakthrough requires creating space and avoiding the pitfall of constant busyness. Documenting and writing down your artistic experiences isn't just about chronicling events—it's a fundamental practice for opening yourself up to breakthroughs and keeping creativity alive.

Revisiting past works, surrounding oneself with inspiring objects, and writing down creative experiences are also key strategies for maintaining a continuous creative state. The feeling of that constant creative flow that comes from simple yet profound practices and they help you stay aligned with your intuitive self.

Whether it's choosing to move past feelings of being stuck, setting up a spacious and comfortable environment, or collaborating with others, this episode is packed with insights that will empower you to embrace creativity as a continually attainable state. Slight shifts in perspective and habitual practices lead to a thriving overflow state of high energy and creativity.

Creating the Addiction of Art - Nicholas Wilton - Ep 154

27 november 2024 | 32 min

https://Art2Life.com - Have you ever wondered why some creative practices thrive while others falter?

The answer might lie in understanding our six essential human needs: certainty, uncertainty, significance, love and connection, growth, and contribution, how they intertwine with our art-making, and how understanding them can lead to a more fulfilling and sustainable art practice.

Art is more than just a reflection of our innermost feelings; it's a mirror of our personal evolution. But when you’re clinging to the same artistic methods, it leads to stagnation, which is why it’s so crucial to evolve and embrace new approaches.

That's where my innovative Bloom Practice comes into play—because it prioritizes feelings over outcomes, encouraging authenticity and profound personal development in your art.

================================

[14:05] Art fulfills human needs and can become an addictive, sustainable practice

[16:59] Retreats normalize artists’ challenges and emphasize shared experiences

[21:40] Connect with your emotions to create authentic, embodied art

[25:39] Use art to become more yourself and evolve as an individual

[26:52] Focus on enjoying the process, not just the end product

Your Art, Your Money, Your Life - Ep 142

4 september 2024 | 34 min

https://Art2Life.com - Your art is the most important thing in your life, so how can you possibly put a price on it? This week, I’m talking about how to value your art and your time and why outsourcing the tasks you don’t love allows you to buy back more time to spend in the studio.

I’m excited to explore questions you may battle about selling art and scaling your business. Fueling your creative journey by getting support and mentorship in monetizing your art is invaluable. It will give you the time and freedom you need to create work you love that reflects your authentic self.

Dig into this with me in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

Feeling into Your Art - Bibby Gignilliat - Ep 140

21 augusti 2024 | 51 min

https://Art2Life.com - Bibby Gignilliat had stopped painting years ago because she had a critical teacher who made her feel like she was talentless. So she spent years as a computer programmer, worked in adventure travel, and even ran her own cooking business. By all measures of success, she was successful.

She continuously pushed her dream of being an artist and having her own gallery show aside. Today, Bibby and I are painting in her studio. She’s an accomplished mixed-media artist who incorporates her travels into her art.

It all started because she was willing to push aside what she’d been told about herself and started listening to herself. Bibby shares her path back to her art—and how she let her intuition lead the way—in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

24 juli 2024 | 58 min

https://Art2Life.com - Rukmini Poddar is an artist, educator, and designer. Her creative passion lies at the intersection of emotional wellness and creative storytelling. She is an artist who draws feelings.

She admits that stumbled into art. It wasn’t a planned career path. When Rukmini graduated college, she was burnt out. As a graphic designer, she spent much of her time on the computer. She wanted to get her hands dirty, so she dove into the 100-Day Project. She started playing with watercolors and made abstract doodles. She started drawing her feelings to express her creativity.

She’d post them on Instagram. Before she knew it, it became the anchor for her day. By the end of the 100 days, her life was changed. People would comment and say, “I’ve always felt this way and I’ve never had words for it.” Something extremely personal to her became universal. She found a community that resonated with her work. It became her guiding light.

Drawing her feelings led to a passion for art she never knew existed. She shares more about her journey to finding herself and helping others connect with their emotions in this wonderful conversation.

Listening to Yourself - Silvia Poloto - Ep 135

17 juli 2024 | 58 min

https://Art2Life.com - Silvia Poloto emigrated to the United States in the 90s. It was here that she stumbled on a knack for art—and it changed the trajectory of her life.

When Silvia was finishing her Master’s Degree, she started cutting out pieces from magazines and making collages. She started working with metal. Looking to learn more, she signed up for a class called “Metal Arts,” only to realize it was a jewelry-making class.

She spent her time in class creating small sculptures with the material. Her instructor was fascinated. She shared her art with him and he was impressed, convinced she had an art degree instead of one in engineering. That’s when she realized she might have a future in art.

She taught herself metalworking, painting and photography. With every subsequent work of art, her style evolves. She allows her inner self to direct the next piece.

Being Seen - Adam Rosendahl - Ep 134

10 juli 2024 | 56 min

https://Art2Life.com - The power dynamics at play in an organization can often make it difficult—if not impossible—to form connections with coworkers and superiors. It’s easy to let prejudices and insecurity get in the way. But an environment of collaboration and trust is key to successful organizations.

The truth is that as macho or hardened as someone seems, we’re all fragile. The human experience is challenging. Compassion and empathy are exceedingly important—yet exceedingly rare.

Adam Rosendahl combines music and art in a group setting that leads to groundbreaking and transformative results: connection between strangers. Everyone has a desperate longing to feel seen and heard.

In our conversation, Adam shares how Late Nite Art combines music, art, and collaboration to bring people together and help them feel seen.

Beyond the Shore - Kristin Little - Ep 133

3 juli 2024 | 56 min

https://Art2Life.com - I was walking into my studio the other day and met a woman who happened to be walking by. She’d recently taken my free workshop—while on a sailboat. It turns out that she’s an amazing photographer, artist, creator, and adventurer.

When Covid hit, she—along with her husband and twin boys—embarked on a grand adventure: Sailing the world. They bought a catamaran and started their journey in New Zealand. Taking action and diving in wholeheartedly led to some of the best experiences of their lives.

In our candid conversation, Kristin shares what she’s learned on the journey about herself and her art, the power of being present, and her advice to those looking to embark on their own adventure.

Everything Matters - Danielle LaPorte - Ep 132

26 juni 2024 | 49 min

https://Art2Life.com - Danielle LaPorte loves simplicity. The closer she gets to a heart-centered life, the more she craves it. It’s become a spiritual practice. She lets go of anything she hasn’t used for 6–12 months. She doesn’t buy mindlessly. Instead, everything in her home has a story, a reason behind buying it. Everything matters.

Simplicity requires letting go. It requires loosening your attachment to things that don’t matter. Are you able to take this approach in your art and your life? To be willing to make a different mark, make a mistake, and start over?

Go on a journey with us as we explore the art of letting go, shifting to simplicity, and of having the courage to make the first mark on a blank page.

Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It: Suzi Dafnis - Ep 131

19 juni 2024 | 49 min

https://Art2Life.com - Are you struggling to cast a vision for yourself, your art, or your business? Has imposter syndrome taken hold? Do you feel confident that you can make your dreams a reality?

Suzi Dafnis walked into a room with 30 other business owners about to start the art class I was offering our mastermind group, admittedly incredibly nervous. Though confident in any business environment, she felt like she shrunk into her feet when she walked into my class.

Yet she came out of the class having created something she’s proud of and found that she enjoyed the process. Today, Suzi joins me in the studio to talk about her journey in business. She firmly believes that if you have a dream that you believe in—and get a plan in place to make it happen—you can achieve it.

But just like you have to take your brush and make the first mark on a canvas, you have to take a step toward creating the business of your dreams. Join us to learn how to take that first step.

Fan Favorite Replay: Don’t Be a Baby and Keep Making Your Art – Jerry Saltz

27 mars 2024 | 65 min

https://Art2Life.com - In this special throwback episode of Art2Life, we revisit one of our most beloved conversations with award-winning art critic Jerry Saltz.

Making art is hard enough, but hearing from others whether it is good or not is especially so. Every artist I know already has, hard-wired within them, a pretty tough critic. I certainly do. So I never have been particularly drawn to listening to more of them. I know, of course, art criticism is essential in the art world. I get all that, but truthfully, I have always been a little leery of outside criticism in case it made me stop making art. It feels safer to hear more from those who are actually making art. They were the ones I thought whose voices mattered. At least for me.

But today you are going to meet an art critic. But not the kind I imagined. Not at all. His name is Jerry Saltz. He is the Pulitzer Prize-winning, senior art critic and columnist for New York Magazine. He has a bajillion followers on Instagram and is a New York Times bestselling author. He also cares a ton about art and especially artists. Which isn’t surprising because he was one. He switched mid-career because, ironically, his inner critic wouldn’t leave him alone, and it all became too much.

Jerry is whip-smart, funny, and at times, daringly truthful. But this is what I love about him: he just tells the truth. Or rather his truth. That is rare these days. Jerry is the artist's art critic. He is so on our side and wants nothing more for us than to simply stay together and above all else, to keep making our art. Join me now for this startlingly vulnerable and caring conversation about art and life with one of the most revered voices in the art world: Jerry Saltz.

Finding Clarity - Noah Woods - Ep 126

20 mars 2024 | 52 min

https://Art2Life.com - Artists are always asking questions. When you’re always questioning, it’s only natural that a lack of clarity arises. Your soul is always pulling you to the unknown.

We’re living in a world where opportunities are boundless. The curiosity to see what’s possible is a driving force. When you’re in congruence with who you are and what you’re making, it’s the best feeling in the world. And when the expression doesn’t match the creature, you must change.

Clarity is found through missteps, adventures, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to see a world of possibilities. In this conversation, Noah and I walk through the journey of finding clarity in life and art.

Becoming Alive in Art + Life - Caroline Millar - Ep 124

6 mars 2024 | 32 min

https://Art2Life.com - Caroline Millar was creatively blocked for a long time. She loved art as a child but had a terrible experience with an art teacher when she was 16. Because of it, she stopped painting for 25 years. She went through a difficult time where everything creative disappeared from her life.

Five years ago, Caroline joined our Creative Visionary Program. She embarked on a journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration. Caroline experienced a profound shift in her perspective and her life and work were transformed.

Caroline now helps other artists navigate their creative journeys, drawing on her own experiences to provide empathy, support, and guidance. Her approach is rooted in understanding and compassion, empowering artists to overcome self-doubt and embrace their unique artistic voices.

In this conversation, we cover her extraordinary journey back to her art. Let her story inspire you to dig deeper and reconnect with your creative self. Because art is transformative and endless possibilities come when we embrace our creativity.

The Alchemy of Art Making - Carl Heyward - Ep 101

27 september 2023 | 62 min

Contrasts are interesting by virtue of what they are. They make art intriguing and exciting both to the artist and those who enjoy their work. Carl Heyward is a contemporary artist whose work is a powerful example of how the juxtaposition of ideas, colors, and even mediums can create a moving and powerful experience. His work centers around ideas of fragmentation, disparity, and collaboration, and the surprising part is that his art flows out of his process. He says that “In my case, the whole enterprise is questioned upon each studio session as an existential tightrope walk above an abyss.” It’s this process, an instinct you might call it, that enables him to produce harmonious but contrasting themes that are highly expressive.

At the time of this recording Carl was quite mindful of the stage of life he’s in. He sees himself being in his last phase of life and is therefore asking “What do I want to leave?” As we explore his approach to art, his creation of the Global Art Project, and his reflections on his current work, you’ll see how Carl himself is a focal point of contrasts, community, and collaboration.

The influence and collaboration Carl enjoys with his wife, Akiko [25:35]
Background and history on the Global Art Project [32:18]
Current projects Carl is working on and the what has captured his attention lately [44:51]

Shared aspects of human existence saturate Carl’s approach to his work and teaching

In a cultural milieu where the differences between people seem to be given far too much air time, Carl’s perspective on life and art is refreshing. He says, “Give me a lot of differences and I’ll find a commonality… give me anything and I can find a relationship between them. I can juxtapose or connect how objects relate to each other.” This is not only true of Carl when it comes to his art, but also when it comes to relationships between people.

In his role as a teacher, Carl recognizes that because of the differences between people, there are different ways to guide his students into clarity. What he says to prompt their thinking in a particular direction may be intended one way but interpreted entirely differently. He’s learned to be OK with that, to actually allow that different interpretation to guide the process for that student. Their individuality and perspective often surprise him and lead to good outcomes. For this reason, no workshop is ever the same. This variety, which comes from the unique perspective of each individual, enables Carl to be more excited with what he’s doing.

Repetition, trust, and integrity as a teacher and artist

As Carl works with students, he finds himself saying the same important things over and over. While the following are not quite “matras,” they are foundational aspects of art making that he thinks serve as important guides to his instruction.

The first of these has to do with repetition. Carl recognizes from his own experience that repetition of anything has the potential to become restrictive, creating artificial boundaries or “prison bars” around the creator and their work. But there is a kind of repetition that is helpful, repetition that forms into a healthy habit that advances an artist’s work and skill. Carl believes that as an instructor, the need to clearly distinguish between those two things falls on his shoulders. He must help his students understand the difference and adopt the habits that will serve their craft rather than enslave it.

A second oft-repeated phrase Carl finds himself saying is, “Trust yourself.” All artists, but particularly those who are just starting out are often overly critical of their work. Carl says that these new students aren’t yet able to understand that the development of truly good art and the frameworks and skills that produce it is a process that grows over time. He tries to kindly but clearly point out the self-deprecating commentary made by students and explain why it isn’t helpful.

And when it comes to both repetition and trust, it’s important to Carl that he not only teaches these things to his students, but that he is practicing them himself as he continues to create. He doesn’t want to be one who preaches things that he doesn’t practice himself.

This history and purpose of the Global Art Project

The Global Art Project grew out of another project that Carl initiated years ago. That initial project was called the “Knee Jerk Fragmentation Project.” That project involved 500 artists and 3000 pieces of art were produced. It was a one for one 5 x 7 postcard exchange between artists. Each artist would receive a piece from another artist, then add to it with their own creative work.

This led to the Global Art Project using a curated frag collection provided by members of the project. Behind this iteration project is the conscious awareness that artists often have leftover fragments of their work, things they don’t want to use or that they consider a failure. Carl realized that these “frags” could be a valuable art piece for someone else, spurring their interest or stirring up their creativity. The GAP is running on its own now, including 80 members and spanning 17 countries. It’s been a wonderful journey that addresses the high and low of what art can be. It intentionally provides collaborative aspects to artmaking and includes what Carl refers to as “the gallery museum elements, the intellectual elements, the fun elements, and the surprise elements of what art can be.” Listen to hear more about the GAP and how you can get involved.

https://Art2Life.com - Have you ever looked at another artist, envious of the confidence their Instagram so clearly exudes? The reality is they are likely just as insecure as everyone else, but it doesn’t stop us from wishing we were like them. Then comparison starts us down a dangerous path of all the things we can’t be or achieve because we hate our last painting. Or we haven’t been able to sell our work. And the question inevitably floats into our brain: Am I a failure? The answer is a resounding no, but in that moment, it’s so hard to see beyond our current circumstances to find it.

Meet life coach, writer, and podcaster Susie Moore. Her wizardry and expertise lie in helping people gain confidence, and today we are going to dive into what that looks like for the artist’s journey. Join us for a conversation about gaining confidence, getting uncomfortable, being your own life coach, and taking control of your story. We also discuss how to handle imposter syndrome, face insecurity, and acknowledge our worth to stay at our highest frequency. If you need a confidence boost, this episode is for you!
