Happy New Year! Lauren and Rachael are glad to be back and are thinking about loosening their adherence to certain labels that they've stuck with for far too long. This discussion was inspired by Lauren doing something that she had previously written off as not her thing and is all about revisiting the stories we've been telling ourselves. Do they still ring true? Are we unnecessarily closing ourselves off to new, beautiful experiences or facets of ourselves? The hosts share areas in which they personally feel more curiosity could work wonders and invite you to do the same!Episode Mentions:Lauren's Paper Clay tutorialThe disgusting thing from DIA in Lauren's IG StoryOmy, the cool wine guyThe transcript for this episode can be found here!

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.Marina Terauds (https://www.marinaterauds.com/) has always loved to draw. When she was a child, her parents would sneak her sketchpad, and while she slept, they created drawings for her to find when she awoke. She enrolled in an arts academy in 5th grade and continued her art education, earning a master's in printmaking at The Latvian Academy of Arts. She worked as a key animator for many years before she emigrated to the United States with her husband Uldis. In this conversation, Marina describes her experiences adapting to rural life in a different country without being fluent in the language. Her nature walks became the source of inspiration, which ultimately fueled her body of work.#printmaking #intaglio #etching #watercolor #naturestudy #originalprint #handpulledprint #artbyhand #roadwarrior #art #artist #workingartist #podcast #artistconversation #positiveattitude #artistlife #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #artfair #artfairartist #emergingartist #sketchbook #journal #visualdiary #sketch #drawing #ink #inkdrawing #inkillustration #naturestudy #naturesketchbook #mushroomsketchbookVisual artists Douglas Sigwarth (https://www.sigwarthglass.com/) and Will Armstrong (http://www.willarmstrongart.com/) co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://www.sigwarthglass.com/independentartistpodcast.htmlYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastMailing List http://eepurl.com/hwQn7bEmail independentartistpodcast@gmail.comPLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgMusic "Walking" by Oliver LearBusiness inquiries at theoliverlear@gmail.comSupport the show
Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.Cali Hobgood (https://www.photographsbycali.com/) is a traditional photographer who uses 35mm film and develops her black-and-white images in a darkroom. She finishes her work using oil paints to add color. Her imagery reflects the sensory pictures she sees in her mind's eye that depict beautiful memories from her life. These images celebrate their essential, ordinary functions yet trigger a wealth of emotional resonance from their symbolism. Cali talks about her intuitive process and recounts a story about when her work sparked controversy at an art festival that nearly threatened her safety. #roadwarrior #art #artist #workingartist #podcast #artistconversation #positiveattitude #artistlife #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #artfair #artfairartist #emergingartist #film #darkroom #calihobgood #photgraphsbycali #photographer #fineartVisual artists Douglas Sigwarth (https://www.sigwarthglass.com/) and Will Armstrong (http://www.willarmstrongart.com/) co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://www.sigwarthglass.com/independentartistpodcast.htmlYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastMailing List http://eepurl.com/hwQn7bEmail independentartistpodcast@gmail.comPLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgMusic "Walking" by Oliver LearBusiness inquiries at theoliverlear@gmail.comSupport the show

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.Making a living from our artwork comes with its unique set of challenges. For art fair artists, this involves venturing out of our solitary studios and hitting the road, searching for our audience. We risk physical and financial security, and if we can't maintain a positive attitude during adversity, that dark spiral can cycle us downward and act as a barrier to connecting with collectors. This week's conversation discusses the Pacific Northwest Tour, The St. Louis Art Fair, Emerging Artist Programs, and planning for next season.#roadwarrior #art #artist #workingartist #podcast #artistconversation #positiveattitude #artistlife #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #artfair #artfairartist #emergingartistCALL FOR ENTRYOklahoma City's Festival of the Arts https://www.zapplication.org/event-info.php?ID=12466Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

It was such a big question, Lauren and Rachael decided to dedicate an entire episode to unpacking this common creative quandary.

Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.When Christopher Jefferies caught the glassblowing bug in high school, he charted a course that would ultimately result in building his own glass shop by "paying his dues." From working on Dale Chihuly's team to sleeping on the floor of a Czech hot shop, Christopher immersed himself in the fast-paced environment of production glass studios that created hundreds of pieces daily. Once he launched his own studio, his work evolved into multiple-element wall installations on a large scale. Christopher talks about going after those "big fish" on the art festival scene and how he navigates his unique career. https://jeffriesglass.com/#blownglassart #residentialwallart #lagunabeachglassartist #modernwallart #customglassartdecor #art #corporateart #homedecor #chihuly #glassinstallation #wallglass #studioglassmovement #glassartist #interiorstylehunter #designerwallart #homestaging #crystalglass #sculpture #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #contemporarycraft #artisticvision #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

"Stubborn!" he says, "I don't want to work in a shitty job just to pay for an expensive house. I don't even want to make artwork I don't want to make." Living and working out of a box truck or buying abandoned houses to renovate are ways he feels free. In his pursuit of "choosing a life," Matthew describes how he has adapted his behavior to how his brain works. Discovering as an adult that he experiences ADHD brought into focus the "self-taught mechanisms" he's used to convert "circular thinking to linear thinking." Matthew is an artist who works in various mediums, such as metal sculpture, jewelry, and painting. This conversation shares his experiences with mental health while listening to the universe along the way. https://matthew.works/#stubbornartist #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #matthewnaftzger #metalsmithing #contemporaryjewelry #getfunky #workworkwork #contemporarycraft #adhdartist #customring #smallsculpture #scifi #dystopiantableware #process #oddities #futureartifact #futurepast #rocket #dystopian #pghartist #morequestions #listentotheuniverse #choosingalife #artistinspiration #starvingartist #artisticvision #youtubepodcastVisual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

Certified career and success coach Alana Ruoso joins us again this week to talk about the emotion we don't talk about: jealousy. We've all felt it - the green monster, the"ugliest" emotion or the dark side. Does it make us a bad person? No. It makes us human. But jealousy is usually masking something deeper and ignoring it or being unwilling to admit to it can cause more harm than good. Alana and Melissa talk about how working creatives can navigate those pangs of jealousy and even turn them into something positive (and how to deal with jealous peers and friends too!)This episode is great for anyone who has ever felt jealousy stirring while scrolling Instagram or listening to another creative talk about their fabulous commission or a friend talk about their new project or their fabulous vacation. Learn how to look beyond the pangs of jealousy to uncover what's really going on in your mind and how you can address it - and even harness it into something positive for you and your work. For a summary of this episode and all the links mentioned, please visit:Episode 65: The Jealous Creative - Confronting An Ugly Emotion For a list of all available episodes, please visit:And She Looked Up Creative Hour PodcastAnd She Looked Up was born from belief that creating for a living takes a special kind of person: one part artist and one part businessperson. Some days the artist gets to be in charge, and some days, it's the businessperson. And sometimes that can create tension! But tension can be a really good thing - from it comes new ideas, inspiration, and growth. When you run a creative business you need to keep your “inspiration well” full, your mind and body healthy and your business brain sharp. You also need friends and a community that understand what your days are like. That's why And She Looked Up was created - to create a space for Canadian female artists, creatives and makers to come together and share our ideas and stories while growing our creative businesses! Your host Melissa Hartfiel is a designer, illustrator, writer, and photographer with a penchant for vibrant colour. She's owns three businesses and has been a self-employed creative since 2010. She resides just outside of Vancouver, Canada.

About: Karina Kottová (* 1984) has long been one of the most prominent curators of contemporary art in the Czech Republic. She is the founder of a number of smaller projects and curator with an international reach. Since 2015 he has been managing the Jindřich Chalupecký Society. Karina Kottová graduated in Art and Heritage from the University of Maastricht, then returned to Prague to gather experience as head of the education department at the Kampa Museum (2007–2009) and later at the DOX Center for Contemporary Art (2009–2012). It is precisely the emphasis on the role of mediation of contemporary art that has been traceable in Kott's projects from the beginning until today. He also became the subject of her dissertation (defended 2015 at Masaryk University in Brno, headed by doc. Ladislav Kesner Jr.) on the topic of Institution and Audience. Its starting point in relation to contemporary art was the workshops with artists organized by the UMA team: You Make Art (2008, today under the name UMA Audioguide). Together with Jana Babincová she founded the project to enable students or other interested people from the general public to meet personally with representatives of the contemporary art scene. Then Kottová collaborated on the foundation of the Bohnice Laundry Room in the Bohnice Medical Institution (2011–2015), the INI Project experimental space (from 2013 up to now) and the Věra Jirousová Award for Fine Arts Critics (since 2013 up to now). For the MeetFactory Center for Contemporary Art, where Kott replaced (2012–2015) as the curator of Dušan Zahoranský's gallery program, she has prepared exhibitions such as Opposite to Truth (2012, Anna Hulačová, Pavla Screanková, Iede Reckman, Derk Thijs, Erwin Wurm). Francis Alÿs, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Vojtěch Fröhlich, etc., Plato's Third Eye (2014, Matyáš Chochola, Kirstin Roepstorff, Pavel Sterec, Sinta Werner, etc.), 15,000 years of identity (2015, Matěj Smetana and Dan Perjovschi , collaboration with Jaro Varga) and a performance set in a site-specific installation by Jan Haubelt and Jiří Thýn A little worse than Romeo (2015, collaboration with Matěj Samec). Typical of these exhibitions was thematic framing with a slightly engaged subtext, space for associative thinking and interest in the irrational view of the world. As the director of the Jindřich Chalupecký Society, Kottová has been working for three years in addition to organizing the Jindřich Chalupecký Award on an intensive support program for the contemporary Czech art scene and its international contextualization, including through a foreign exhibition program. For example, she prepared an exhibition Don't Worry, Boy (2017) at the ForumBOX in Helsinki, which worked mainly with the authors who went through the Jindřich Chalupecký Award and Ripple Effect (together with Fatoş Üstek) in Futura, Prague. In 2018, he is preparing a laureate exhibition by Barbora Kleinhamlová (CJCh 2016) at the SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin or a solo exhibition by Kateřina Vincourová at the Katzen Ar...

She is the founder of a number of smaller projects and curator with an international reach. Since 2015 he has been managing the Jindřich Chalupecký Society. Karina Kottová graduated in Art and Heritage from the University of Maastricht, then returned to Prague to gather experience as head of the education department at the Kampa Museum (2007–2009) and later at the DOX Center for Contemporary Art (2009–2012). It is precisely the emphasis on the role of mediation of contemporary art that has been traceable in Kott's projects from the beginning until today. He also became the subject of her dissertation (defended 2015 at Masaryk University in Brno, headed by doc. Ladislav Kesner Jr.) on the topic of Institution and Audience. Its starting point in relation to contemporary art was the workshops with artists organized by the UMA team: You Make Art (2008, today under the name UMA Audioguide). Together with Jana Babincová she founded the project to enable students or other interested people from the general public to meet personally with representatives of the contemporary art scene. Then Kottová collaborated on the foundation of the Bohnice Laundry Room in the Bohnice Medical Institution (2011–2015), the INI Project experimental space (from 2013 up to now) and the Věra Jirousová Award for Fine Arts Critics (since 2013 up to now). For the MeetFactory Center for Contemporary Art, where Kott replaced (2012–2015) as the curator of Dušan Zahoranský's gallery program, she has prepared exhibitions such as Opposite to Truth (2012, Anna Hulačová, Pavla Screanková, Iede Reckman, Derk Thijs, Erwin Wurm). Francis Alÿs, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Vojtěch Fröhlich, etc., Plato's Third Eye (2014, Matyáš Chochola, Kirstin Roepstorff, Pavel Sterec, Sinta Werner, etc.), 15,000 years of identity (2015, Matěj Smetana and Dan Perjovschi , collaboration with Jaro Varga) and a performance set in a site-specific installation by Jan Haubelt and Jiří Thýn A little worse than Romeo (2015, collaboration with Matěj Samec). Typical of these exhibitions was thematic framing with a slightly engaged subtext, space for associative thinking and interest in the irrational view of the world. As the director of the Jindřich Chalupecký Society, Kottová has been working for three years in addition to organizing the Jindřich Chalupecký Award on an intensive support program for the contemporary Czech art scene and its international contextualization, including through a foreign exhibition program. For example, she prepared an exhibition Don't Worry, Boy (2017) at the ForumBOX in Helsinki, which worked mainly with the authors who went through the Jindřich Chalupecký Award and Ripple Effect (together with Fatoş Üstek) in Futura, Prague. In 2018, he is preparing a laureate exhibition by Barbora Kleinhamlová (CJCh 2016) at the SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin or a solo exhibition by Kateřina Vincourová at the Katzen Ar...
