Letting Go [279]
2025/05/06
This week we're catching up (chickens and travel) and also talking about spontaneity and making space. You'll hear why there has been a bit of longer gap - and why there is no jaunty music this time.
We would say this was a hard episode to record, but the truth is it was just as easy as always. We have appreciated our conversations as much we know you do - and we will miss them. We have appreciated our guests and all of you who have listened, messaged and shared the podcast over the last 6 years. It's truly been a joy. Thank you from both of us and we hope you keep in touch - and continue to share the message ... creativity counts, your creative life matters and just go and make it happen!
Alice and Louise x

Let's Talk Studios [278]
2025/03/18
This week, we're discussing all things studio. Both Alice and Louise recently completed major studio clean-upn projects, while Louise is overseeing the construction of a new workspace. What does it mean to set up a productive studio space? Is your space cosy or utilitarian? Is it helpful to get 'outside' help with planning or reorganising your space? And when is it time to make a change to your environment?
Hopefully, our conversation will inspire you to take a fresh look at your own space - and maybe even have your own studio clear-out :)

Developing Ideas w/ Sally-Anne Ashley [277]
2025/03/11
This week, Louise is joined by special guest Sally-Anne Ashley for a discussion on how to develop and nurture ideas within our art practice. This is a topic that we are both passionate about and, while we approach it in slightly different ways, our end goal remains the same. We both seek to find a focus that sustains us, while also staying open and experimental.
During our conversation, we cover the importance of play, the need for self-acceptance, and the vital role that ideas play in our work.

Art Larger Than Me with Daren Todd [276]
2025/02/18
This is a podcast about belief, embracing risk as a business owner and being open to creative opportunities despite lingering imposter syndrome.
Today we bring you an inspiring conversation with muralist Daren Todd who transitioned in to art after his boss told him to go and follow what made him happy. From painting fences for free to a collaboration with IKEA there are plenty of ideas here to help you think more expansively about how your art can impact people around you, your community, and why it really matters.
Key takeaways: keeping a short line from idea to implementation, continuing to experiment with new ideas and ways to bring your art to people, the importance of referrals and getting known for one thing and why 4hrs spent on SEO could really be am afternoon well spent.

Making Art in Messy Times [275]
2025/02/11
This week we're diving into the challenges of making art when times get tough. Many people are worried about global issues such as wars, climate change and geopolitics, and these massive issues can feel overwhelming. Others are struggling with personal challenges, which can also make creativity feel impossible. So how do we keep creating in difficult times? How do we restore our equilibrium after we have been triggered into strong emotions? And how do we deal with feelings of guilt about doing something we love when others are suffering?
We hope our personal experiences and challenges help anyone who is struggling with their own creativity due to external pressures.

How is Your Creative Capacity? [274]
2025/02/04
This week, we're talking creative capacity. What's the ideal environment for creativity to flourish? And when should we simply accept that there is no space left for new ideas? We suspect this is different for everyone, but in this episode, we do our best to unpack the issue as we see it, and hopefully offer some support to anyone who is struggling at the moment.

Running a Creative Audit [273]
2025/01/21
If you've got paintings stacking up, and you're either excited about what you're working on, or wondering where to go next, this episode is for you.
It can be tempting to think we have to re-invent the wheel with our art work, but truth is in following the clues from where you've already been... Today we have a few questions for you which will help you unearth and mine your own art history and build your confidence going forward because you realise all the things that you've already figured out!
We hope you enjoy this and would love to see you share your favourite question from today's episode.

Looking Back & Moving Forward [272]
2025/01/14
We're back, and this week we're responding to a listener message all about reflecting on and recording your life (art and otherwise). Our conversations covers journaling, annual planning, and hopes/dreams for the new year. Yes we know it's an arbitrary date in the calendar, but there is something about winter that encourages us to slow down and take stock ... if you feel the same way, this is the episode for you.

Have you ever felt frustrated about how best to showcase your art so that collectors can see it in the best light?

The Risks & Rewards of Collaboration [270]
2024/11/05
This week, we're talking all about collaboration. In response to two listener questions, we discuss the pros and cons of working with others, whether they be galleries, businesses or fellow artists. Collaborations can offer great rewards - as long as you ask some smart questions before committing.

Magic of Mixed Media [269]
2024/10/29
In this episode, we dive into the joys of using mixed media—a playground for curiosity and creativity. We explore the fun (and challenges) of mixing materials, textures, and techniques, from graphic edges paired with loose lines to playful contrasts of smooth and rough textures. But it’s not all carefree: many artists find themselves relying on external materials, like magazine clippings or vintage photos, which can sometimes raise the question, "Am I enough without this?"
So, when is mixed media a tool for experimentation and trust-building? And when does it become a safe zone, holding us back from bolder artistic leaps?

To Teach or Not to Teach [268]
2024/10/15
This week, we answer a question from Cherrie, who is curious about the benefits and downsides of teaching. This is something we have both thought about over the years and in this chat we share our perspectives. Our conversation spans both the positives (inspiration, realisations, variety in our days) and the negatives (do we lose out on our creativity because we give time and energy to others?)
If you have ever thought about teaching, either online or in person, we hope this chat helps you consider your options. And if you currently teach, maybe some of what we say will resonate.
Finding Freedom with Annie Tempest [267]
2024/10/08
Today Louise chats with British artist Annie Tempest about her life and work. Annie is an award-winning cartoonist whose work has appeared in many newspapers and magazines, and has been a staple of Country Life magazine for over 30 years, but she is also a talented sculptor who is now exploring painting. Annie has found real freedom in her art practice, and her enthusiasm is infectious. In this conversation, Annie shares stories of her fascinating life, discusses the challenges of weekly deadlines, and explains the joy of making art just because you love it.

In Love with Layering [266]
2024/10/01
Do you love the process of building up layers in your painting? Or perhaps you're wondering why layering is necessary and feeling frustrated with how long your paintings are taking you.
Today we are talking all things layering; from glazing to different substrates. Even if this isn't the way you work, they'll be something her for you as we veer into your role as an artist to orchestrate your painting or to follow your intuition.
Is layering the ultimate way to learn to 'let go'...?

Making Time & Space for Creative Flow [265]
2024/09/24
This week, Alice and Louise ponder the need for carving out time and space for our creativity. Perhaps it's even broader than that - perhaps it's about the idea of consciously designing your life; about creating an environment in which ideas can grow and flourish, and about making the necessary decisions to create that environment. We hope you enjoy this chat and perhaps it will spark some thoughts about your own priorities.
