"The more I want the work to be the focus, the more I pull back sharing myself. I want the work to speak." — Jasmine DowlingWelcome to Process: Encore! In this archive series, we're spotlighting the foundational conversations that continue to guide our creative community, completely untouched from the day they first aired! This week, we are taking you back to a hotel room in Brisbane where Arielle sat down with one of Australia's most distinct creative eyes: multimedia artist in still and motion creation, Jasmine Dowling. Jasmine has spent over a decade navigating the fragile balance between commercial partnerships with global mainstays like Longchamp, Mecca, Chanel, and Hermès (just to name a few) and the highly intentional, low-fi personal practices that keep her creative spirit alive. In this unfiltered conversation, she opens up about the reality of executing work that is entirely yours.In this episode: The 40/30/30 Split: Balancing unpaid personal exploration, client work, and paid social partnerships.The "Slave to the Eye" Paradox: The endurance required when your hands are working overtime to match the vision in your mind.The Low-Fi Medium Strategy: Ditching the heavy gear to capture her Paris Hermès project via film, a compact Sony, and raw iPhone voice memos.The Illusion of "Dream Clients": The unfiltered reality of navigating heavy corporate bureaucracy and creative revisions.The Power of the Gifted Spark: How unexpected tactile packaging triggers immediate, experimental animation concepts.The Boundaries of Curation: Treating your digital platform strictly as a workspace while fiercely protecting your private family life.The Forever Fear of Work Disappearing: Overcoming the anxiety that everything will crumble the moment you set structural boundaries.Connect with our Guest:Jasmine Dowling on Instagram: @jasminedowlingStudio & Prints: jasminedowling.comEnjoyed this Encore? Join our Community!Your host, Arielle Thomas on Instagram, ⁠@arielle.thomas⁠Us, on Instagram, ⁠@processthepodcastWhatsapp Community @processthepodcastFollow us to get notified every time a new episode drops every Tuesday.  See you on the next one! 

Do you practice aftercare when the party ends? Do you celebrate when the film wraps shooting, or the book edits are done? Do you let yourself grieve when post-project depression hits? Dear artists, we must ritualize our artmaking process. We must wield our creative energy with intention. From survival mode to survivor mode: the narrative of our lives need aftercare.SHOW NOTES:* The Art Life is now on Substack: theartlife.substack.com* Happy Pride Month!

Art-making isn't a vibe. It's a practice that can feel exhausting, confusing, and sometimes flat-out miserable, yet we still wake up wanting to go back. We sit with a blunt question that every working artist eventually faces: what is making art giving us even when it doesn't feel good?We start by de-romanticizing the work through Hugo Winder-Lind's reminder that painting doesn't always feel good, especially now that artists are expected to be multi-faceted creators. From there we get honest about envy, creative cycles, and the kindness we owe other artists when they're in the ditch. We also call out the social media highlight reel, the edited two minutes that hides the seven hours of staring, failing, quitting, and starting again.Then we move into what the studio actually gives back. Mark Bradford frames labor as a way to slow down until you can hear yourself think and reach the quieter voice with the better idea. Sheila Hicks adds the bigger frame: discovery is part of being alive, so hang in there because you never know what the next discovery might be. Along the way we talk logistics, perfectionism, routines that prime the pump, excluding distractions so actions match goals, and Noel W. Anderson shares why the studio nourishes us in ways we can't fully explain.If you've been stuck, burned out, or questioning why you keep doing this, hit play.

In this episode of Peachtree Corners Life, host Rico Figliolini sits down with Kristie Onorato, a longtime art educator at Wesleyan School, to explore the intersection of creativity, teaching, and personal artistic practice. Kristie shares her journey from studying art education at Ohio State to teaching across grade levels before finding her home at Wesleyan, where she has spent the past 15 years inspiring students through art.The conversation dives into how creativity is developed, why problem-solving is central to the artistic process, and how Kristie encourages students to embrace imperfection and pivot when things don't go as planned. She also discusses her own artistic work, sources of inspiration, from travel to everyday life, and what it means to create and let go of deeply personal pieces as she prepares for the Wesleyan Artist Market. Resources:Wesleyan Artist Market:  https://www.artistmarket.wesleyanschool.org/Wesleyan School: https://www.wesleyanschool.org5 Key TakeawaysCreativity is universal—not optionalCreativity isn't reserved for artists. It shows up in problem-solving, communication, business, and everyday life. As Kristie puts it, we're all wired to create.The process matters more than the outcomeStudents learn more from how they think, adapt, and reflect than from the final piece they produce. The journey shapes the mindset.Problem-solving is at the core of creativityArt teaches resilience—things go wrong, and you don't start over, you adjust. That mindset carries directly into real life.Inspiration is everywhere—if you're open to itFrom travel to everyday observations, creativity comes from awareness. The key is being in the right mindset to notice it.Letting go is part of the creative journeyWhether it's finishing a piece or selling it, artists have to release their work—even when it's personal. That's part of growth.Timestamp:00:00:00 – Introduction and Wesleyan Artist Market overview00:02:28 – Kristie's background and path into art education00:04:31 – Discovering a passion for teaching and creativity00:06:16 – The role of creativity and faith in artistic expression00:08:00 – Problem-solving and adaptability in the art process00:10:01 – Student portfolios, reflections, and creative thinking00:11:20 – Staying connected with former students00:12:57 – Kristie's personal art practice and school art shows00:14:36 – Collaboration and group art projects00:15:55 – Field trips and exposure to professional art00:16:33 – Travel and inspiration, including Greece00:18:10 – Observing patterns, movement, and color in nature00:19:59 – Preferred subjects and creating for an audience00:21:15 – Studio habits and creative environment00:23:12 – Finding inspiration in everyday life00:24:10 – Planning vs. improvisation in art00:26:22 – Letting go of artwork and emotional attachment00:29:17 – Closing thoughts and Wesleyan Artist Market details

"Fortunately for us art and travel lovers, science has caught up with what we have felt inside, what we have experienced" - Michelle JohnstonIn more recent years the science of ‘neuro-aesthetics' has given us much to ponder in terms of understanding the importance of art and beauty in our lives. I share my personal experience and sound research on the positive side effects that seeking art, travel and beauty in our lives has on our mental health, neuro-plasticity and longevity. This is a broad topic yet I cite recent book publications and examples on the importance of art, creativity and travel and how there are many positive flow on effects in our lives. Enjoy, Michelle xShownotes A Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksMusical Scores by Richard JohnstonA Writer in Italy is about travel and life.

What if the hardest days in the studio are not detours, but the path itself? We open up about the real fight behind the work—those sessions where flow vanishes, doubt gets loud, and the canvas refuses to cooperate—and why that tension can become your most reliable teacher. Drawing from Rashid Johnson's candid reflection with Carrie Scott on battling the work, we unpack the difference between inspiration and perspiration and why chasing “perfect” kills momentum.Along the way, we trade tools and stories: turning fight-or-flight into practical choices, switching pieces to redirect energy, and using rituals like Morning Pages, breath work, and device-free sessions to clear mental noise. Sun Tzu helps us name the real enemy—resistance expressed through fear and comparison—while Julia Cameron and Nick Cave remind us to cooperate with process, loosen our grip on control, and operate under the “cloud of artistic unknowing.” We talk about repainting, scrapping, and starting over, not as failure but as fidelity to the work's evolving voice.The thread tying it all together is permission. You don't need a bigger studio, pricier materials, or the perfect plan to make authentic art. You need consent to be where you are, to use what you have, and to let mystery lead when the plan breaks. If you've asked yourself, “Have I lost it?” you're in good company—and you're exactly where growth happens.

A boy scout from smalltown America known for his sincere, folksy charm. A chain-smoking maverick dedicated to the pursuit of the Art Life. A womaniser with a female skewing fanbase. A Hollywood outsider who was also a mainstream celebrity. Who was the real David Lynch, and why did his bizarre, avant garde art films - from Eraserhead to Inland Empire - gain him recognition and love far beyond any of his contemporaries? The cultural critic John Higgs returns to the podcast to unpick the meaning of the adjective "Lynchian" and make sense of a man whose work is nothing less than a cultural phenomenon.

In this episode, we sit down with Austin-based filmmakers Nick and Josh Holden, the writing-directing-producing duo behind their new feature film about family, integrity, and the fine line between selling out and staying true.Their film follows novelist Benny Dink, whose career and love life implode just before his 40th birthday. When he returns home to Louisiana for his sister's wedding, he's forced to confront the compromises of adulthood — from ambition and art to family and faith.

Original Release Date: Monday 25 August 2025      Description:   This was not the show we expected to be bringing you this week, but all of a sudden, during their “side project” (“The Art Life” with friend of show Jon Lawlor), Dean started holding court about the current box office smash Superman. Suffice it to say, Dean had THOUGHTS! So, we bring you what ensued, a free-wheeling discussion not only of the James Gunn-directed blockbuster, but a discussion of DC comics' history, of the character's history, and of the lost art of behind-the-scenes documentary looks at the making of movies as promotional materials. Somehow, the conversation turns to Rob Zombie and his House of 1000 Corpses, to a “holy grail” of cinema for Phil that proved to be a guilty non-pleasure, Ashanti, and to Noah Hawley's new Alien: Earth television series. All that, plus the Stallone film Dean walked out of, the horrible movie Nic Cage's son starred in, why Iron Man turned out to be so good, the problem with reboots, and more!

For our 50th episode, we have an extra special guest who I was so honored to speak with: musical artist/harpist Mary Lattimore! Mary's ethereal instrumental music, particularly her 2020 album Silver Ladders, was a cornerstone of my self-care in pregnancy, and I've been a massive fan ever since. Mary joined me virtually from her home in Los Angeles to discuss her favorite ways to build and nurture community and sustain inspiration in her artistry, the scoop on her favorite artist residencies, dreaming as a form of processing the nightmare that is the current political climate in the US, lucid dreaming, and oh so much more!With permission from the artist and her management, this episode includes a snippet from Mary's forthcoming song, “A Lock of His Hair Under Glass”This episode touches on the following topics:The Aces in Tarot (specifically the Ace of Wands)Sustainable artistic practicesBuilding an artistic community The value of practicing various art forms in an unskilled wayWhere to find artist residency programs Artistic inspiration through nature and unfamiliar environmentsAnimism relating to musical instrumentsThe arts as political resistanceDreaming as a way to process our deep emotionsLucid dreaming School of Song and their amazing Brian Eno workshop (!!)The Artist's Way by Julia CameronYour Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross Follow Mary's work and various projects here and here!

Part 3. Diving deep into Jerry Saltz's "How to Be an Artist," we explore the transformative journey of learning to think like an artist. This episode unpacks the beautiful paradox that while art remains unchanged physically, it's never the same when we experience it – as Saltz writes, "an unchanging thing that is never the same." We discuss how becoming a "seeing machine" develops your artistic eye, examining artwork up close, questioning materials and processes, and truly noticing rather than merely looking.One of the most powerful concepts we explore is embracing artistic inconsistency. When Saltz writes, "Don't resist something if you're afraid it's taking you far afield from your usual direction. That's the wild animal in you feeding," he reminds us that creative evolution requires following our instincts even when they lead us into unfamiliar territory. This is how artists avoid becoming creatively caged – by allowing ourselves to experiment freely.The conversation takes a particularly meaningful turn when discussing courage as "a desperate gamble that will place you in the arms of creative angels." We examine how artists throughout history, from Alice Neel to Ellsworth Kelly, displayed remarkable bravery by pursuing their unique visions despite working against prevailing movements of their time. Their courage to follow their intuitive logic ultimately led to extraordinary contributions to art history.Perhaps most reassuringly, we break down Saltz's practical insight that an artist's career can be sustained by surprisingly few supporters – just one dedicated dealer, a handful of collectors, and a few critics or curators who understand the work. The challenge lies in putting yourself out there consistently, showing up at exhibitions, and actively participating in the art community.What will you discover about your own creative process by training yourself to see differently? How might embracing your artistic inconsistencies lead to unexpected breakthroughs? Join us as we continue our exploration of what it truly means to be an artist in today's world.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Original Release Date: Monday 28 July 2025      Description:   Because your friends in podcasting really wanted to take a much-needed week off, they pre-recorded this week's show in two parts. One part involves Dean and Phil continuing their ongoing reappraisal of the "Mission: Impossible" films, as they debate the merits of the most successful (and critically acclaimed) installment – Mission: Impossible - Fallout. The other part was recorded with good pal Jon Lawlor during their weekly discussion of "The Art Life". The themes they explore involve the definitions of "courage", "decorate" and answering the question, "what's missing?" Music, bravery, intimacy, cancer, dog sweaters, and the "Star Trek" episode "Spectre of the Gun" are just some of the topics discussed. The show ends in a cliffhanger mystery! The show BEGINS with a question to you (yes, YOU!), our dear listeners, about the future form of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour!

301. Turning Up Your Hue: Authenticity in Art, Life, and Business In this engaging talk from The Thing Nashville 2025, Mike Brennan explores the themes of creativity, authenticity, and personal expression through the metaphor of color. He emphasizes the importance of embracing one's essence and showing up authentically in the world. By sharing personal anecdotes and insights, he encourages listeners to prioritize resonance over reach, fostering deeper connections with others. The conversation culminates in a manifesto that inspires individuals to recognize and carry their unique colors into every aspect of their lives. 3 Key Takeaways:

It's a reminder that your work doesn't have to be impressive—it just has to be yours.   In this episode, they discuss: Life after academia and what changed in higher education Making time for your art while raising a family or working full-time How Cheryl approaches residencies, place-based work, and listening Letting go of external pressure and creating from authenticity The real markers of a fulfilling creative life Advice for artists just beginning—or beginning again Cheryl Agulnick Hochberg Website: www.cherylagulnick.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherylhochberg     ✨ Resources to Support Your Creative Path: Submit to Create!

Legendary music producer Rick Rubin joins NLW on The AI Daily Brief for a singular conversation about creativity, technology, and how a meme turned into something much deeper. After unexpectedly becoming the internet's unofficial mascot of “vibe coding,” Rubin leaned into the joke—and emerged with a profound new collaboration: The Way of Code, a Tao Te Ching–inspired, interactive living book co-created with Anthropic and Claude.Read "The Way of Code" - https://www.thewayofcode.com/They explore why Rubin, famously a non-technical producer, sees alignment between ancient philosophy and generative AI; how vibe coding democratizes creativity and expands taste; and why he believes AI won't replace artists—but might help us see differently. The conversation spans Jay-Z and Johnny Cash, orchestration and intention, and how great art often begins where certainty ends.If you've ever wondered what the future of creative collaboration looks like—or what happens when Rick Rubin writes a book about something he doesn't understand—this is the episode for you.Get Ad Free AI Daily Brief: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/AIDailyBrief⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months Vertice Labs - Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://verticelabs.io/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the AI-native digital consulting firm specializing in product development and AI agents for small to medium-sized businesses.The Agent Readiness Audit from Superintelligent - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://besuper.ai/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to request your company's agent readiness score.The AI Daily Brief helps you understand the most important news and discussions in AI.

We use math every day, even if we don't know it. Many of us could probably benefit from increasing our math literacy. On today's show, we hear how the U of A Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Fayetteville Public Library are partners for screening the documentary "Counted Out". Plus, a retrospective of Eugene Sargent's art opens this weekend. Also, Michael Tilley takes us through this week's headlines.

Neither a documentary on the films of David Lynch nor a film about the man we knew as David Lynch.  But an account of a young man who through circumstance and single-minded drive, would find himself in and construct just the sort of environment that could form a David Lynch.  Directors Olivia Neergaard-Holm, Jon Nguyen, and Rick Barnes put the camera on a man making art and a microphone on a man looking back at his early life.  And they leave it up to us to make connections between the two.

In this insightful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with transformational coach and author Susan Hensley to explore the profound impact of art journaling on self-discovery and emotional well-being. Susan shares how this playful yet powerful practice became her anchor during life's transitions, including caregiving, an empty nest, and the challenges of the pandemic. Together, they uncover how art journaling can silence the inner critic, regulate emotions, and unlock the authentic self—even for those who don't consider themselves artists. Whether you're navigating big changes or simply looking for a creative outlet, this episode offers a vibrant roadmap to reconnect with joy and creativity.   About the Guest: Susan Hensley is a transformational coach and author who has turned art journaling into a therapeutic tool for self-discovery. With decades of experience coaching executives and teams, Susan brings her expertise to help others navigate life's transitions with grace and creativity. Her personal journey with art journaling began as a joyful experiment and evolved into a deeply impactful practice that integrates play, emotional regulation, and authentic self-expression. Reach: https://susan-hensley.com/    Key Takeaways: Art Journaling Defined: Art journaling isn't about creating a masterpiece—it's about play, release, and connecting with yourself. It's especially valuable for those who don't consider themselves artistic. The Power of Play: Using tools like crayons or finger paints helps adults tap into a childlike state of curiosity and creativity, silencing the inner critic. Navigating Transitions with Art: Life transitions, such as caregiving or career changes, are inevitable. Art journaling provides a safe space to process emotions, regulate anxiety, and rediscover joy. The Science Behind Creativity: Shifting from the left (analytical) side of the brain to the right (creative) side fosters emotional balance, which is backed by research into brain function. Accessible and Versatile Practice: Art journaling doesn't require fancy tools—just 10 minutes a day with simple supplies like crayons, paints, or magazines can make a difference. Creative expression can also take many forms, such as dance, singing, or cooking. This episode invites listeners to grab a crayon, embrace their inner child, and embark on a journey of creative self-discovery!

"The question is, what am I doing that's not allowing it in?" "If you want to look in that mirror in a few years and love the person staring back at you, you better do right by fucking everybody all the time." "I like to picture in my own head that I'm the soul. And then I hear the thoughts and I examine them just like a judge." "In that moment, you just moved the entire human species one millimeter closer to world peace and all the things we all say that the world should be like." "What other art form do two people get to collaborate at that level?" "One of the beautiful things about tattooing to me also is like seeing the evolution of what you're doing like any other art form but add into it the trust of the human allowing you to experiment on their body." "I feel like things just in general in society are kind of like splitting and becoming more polar opposite." "We're a fully mature industry. And like any mature industry, visibility and marketability are now essential." "That not giving a fuck thing, good luck. Good luck with that."

Margo is joined by Sonoma Valley-based artist Alex Cole, whose paintings are inspired by her travels and the Northern California landscapes. Her work has been featured in RUE magazine and published in “Wild Lands” and “Artist of the Bay Area” by Jen Tough.

After earning a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, she moved to Sonoma, California, where she began teaching at the Sonoma Community Center. Her workshops and retreats, held both locally and internationally, encourage others to tap into their creative potential by exploring nature and embracing experimentation.

HT1894 - Postponing Your Art Life No one begins their photographic journey by immediately leaping into 40-inch prints. We all start small, 5x7, or 8x10. Then somehow we get gripped with the idea that bigger is better. Rather than turn our attention to making more personal, more meaningful, or insightful photographs it becomes so much easier to pursue the greater technical challenges of large prints, thereby postponing the launch of our real art life.

Today, we re-explore the main theme of this podcast's season: “relaxation” and how valuing more R&R has improved our art practice, creative business, and well-being. We also answer your questions relating to this season and set a realistic break and return date for the continuation of the podcast. As we head into this short break, we wanted to say thank you for tuning in and supporting the podcast. We look forward to returning on April 15th for more relaxed and inspiring conversations!

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. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Join the Art of Your Life FREE Workshop [1:36]  Learn more about Caroline Millar [2:26]  Why Caroline went into hibernation [7:34] Caroline's experience with Art2Life [9:35] How Caroline learned to say “yes” [13:44] Caroline shares about her art [16:28] How Caroline guides artists [20:56]  Caroline's unique gift of empowering others [24:36] ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Join the Art of Your Life FREE Workshop: https://a2lworkshop.com/5-days-workshop/ The Creative Visionary Program: https://www.art2life.com/about-cvp/ ================================= CONNECT WITH CAROLINE MILLAR Caroline Millar Art: https://www.carolinemillar.com/ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinemillarart/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life
