artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George

What are we all trying to achieve? We have so many to-do lists, time pressures, work pressures, life pressures… and so many of us are spinning.  Can we take time to breathe? Focus, prioritise and just let ourselves be for a few minutes..?

How do we all handle failure? How many rejections can we deal with - do they make you stronger or knock your confidence? Do we learn or feel dejected? There’s always something to learn and we grow-so let’s do it together!  Luckily (well, maybe not!) Karen and Gaynor have experienced it all… so here we go, let’s all hold hands and fail spectacularly together!  This week’s links and mentions:  Image by 青 晨 on Unsplash @ginabelfordart https://www.ginabelfordart.co.uk https://www.starvingartists.studio/opportunities Jo Hill Textiles https://johilltextilecourses.podia.com White chalk gallery https://whitechalkgallery.co.uk @rwa @olist Royal Academy Open: https://summer.royalacademy.org.uk About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.

Sometimes life is a bit of a slog. We drag ourselves to the studio, to events, …to no avail! What to do when everything is an effort, nothing is going quite to plan and we hit a patch of despondency. Luckily, your friends, Karen and Gaynor have had those moments and have ideas about how to switch up the plan, lift the mindset and get back on the horse (enough clichés for you?). We’d like to thank each of you for listening, this is our way of giving to the art communities we love. We hope you enjoy each episode and share on socials with anyone you think may like it too.

Let’s be honest, there are some things we all like to “manage” and “steer”. We want events -and artwork- to go a certain way, can any of us actually relax and go with the flow? Do you have lots of chaotic moments, but need to control the end results? Are you a genuine collaborator or do you tweak the final edit to your own liking?  In this week’s episode Gaynor and Karen realise they aren’t at completely opposite ends of the spectrum and definitely learn lots from each other!  Everlasting gratitude for follows, likes, comments and reviews - thank you, it means the world to have you with us.  Photo credit by Brooke Lark on Unsplash About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.

Do you consider yourself an artist? Do you get to call yourself an artist even when you’re not painting, taking a break or working in paid employment as well? This week’s podcast was inspired by an Instagram Post by Harry Martell - he got us thinking about why when artists have a paid job too they may consider their artist credentials “less than”. What qualifies the word and our work?  As two people who embrace the title and champion other artists, Karen and Gaynor discuss the confidence it takes to be ourselves.  We mention the Aristotle quote “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence therefore is not an act but a habit”… food for thought, hey? loveliness. Do share if you feel inclined.

We can all have those racing thoughts and going-nowhere ideas, but when you’re a solo artist, hiding away in your studio space, who do you turn to? Who do you share and bounce ideas off?  Sometimes it takes a friend, accountability partner or mentor to hold a mirror up to us to realise just how much we’re capable of. Are you part of a mastermind group, do you love your mentor? Who’s championing you?  Finding someone or something that works can be as easy as asking. @karengeorgeart and @gaynorljart have experienced the different support networks and share what’s working for them right now.  Episode Links:  Idea bench image credit:  Nick Fewings on Unsplash #dothe100dayproject  https://visual-artists.org @visualartistsassociation @kvhs_creative Karen Van Hoey Smith Connected Artist Club https://alicesheridan.com/artists/ Art Tribe https://www.louisefletcherart.com/art-tribe Art2Life CVP  https://www.art2life.com @sarahbodenart https://sarahbodenart.com  @raemelodyart https://www.raemelodyart.com Hidden Potential Adam Grant Stephen Bartlett Adam Grant Diary of a CEO @jacksons_art @debbeckett About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.

When you think of a big challenge, do you revel in the idea? Do you rub your hands together and relish the task … or do you fight self-doubt, second-guess yourself and tell yourself everyone else is better than you anyway?! This week we ponder why we don’t see ourselves as others do. Why do they see us as braver than we sometimes feel - and how do we take the leap of faith? Thanks millions to our lovely community - we really love hearing from everyone.

Karen went VIRAL!!! What does this mean? Is she now a superstar with a millionty billion followers?? Yeah…nooooooo. Not so much.  In a keeping it real (as opposed to reel) chat we look at the benefits and downsides of the socials.  Thank you for your patience during our tech hitch, and as always, thanks for listening.

Oops! Unfortunately dear friends, there’s a technical issue so please pop back tomorrow for the real thing!

How lucky are we that we get the chance to do this all again… but with the benefit of hindsight! What happened last year that lit you up? Which events felt like fun, what’s on the ‘loved it’ list and what went on the ‘never ever ever again in my whole life’ list? Join us as we talk about doing more of what lights us up. Let's make 2024 your success because it’s full of the good stuff.

“Nothing that is meant for you will pass you by” a great reminder to us from a younger artist we shared space with recently: things will happen if you can keep the faith, keep going and remember to do whatever it takes to maintain a positive attitude to your art practice, finding your audience and community.

We all do things out of obligation, make ourselves do things we’d really rather not and keep going regardless of our heavy hearts! But, should we? Do we have to? Why not choose to do the things that are fun-which immediately improves the chance of success. What if (this is radical-so hear us out!) we ONLY did things that light us up, make us happy and bring some fun into our work time? Wouldn’t that be the best?

Busy! Busy! Busy! Rushing to all the art events, open houses, open studios, art trails, Christmas things: prep, selling, posting out, updating the website, posting on insta (reels… carousels… oh and heck did I do story thing?)  …and then… Post Event Collapse Syndrome (it’s a thing) PECS or a blinking great SLUMP…  Let’s get through this together!!  Episode Links: @studio44AD About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.

“You DID NOT say yes to THAT” seems to be on repeat in our heads… is it just us that can’t say no?! While it’s lovely to step in to help, sometimes priorities have to be acknowledged, work needs to get done and “not today” “no thank you” and “I’m busy” become well rehearsed mantras!

The guilt of success. It’s a real thing…like survivors’ guilt but the whole doing well when someone else in the room isn’t. Do you cringe either when an arts trail is going great for you, or when it isn’t… Veering off track a little and giving tips on engagement, being present and generally having fun at real in-person events, because, let’s face it, it’s That Season!

There’s a chronic condition many artists suffer from-and it’s contagious. Do you, or someone you know suffer from comparisonitis?  Do you have insta-fatigue, art trail alarm, everyone’s-doing-better-than-me-attack, or I-can’t-do-this malaise? Here at the artchatter podcast emergency room we may not have a cure, but we do have some great ideas to prevent it and some tips to help assuage the rising panic. Mainly because both Karen and Gaynor (mainly Gaynor, let’s face it) have had moments of all of the above.  Together we can beat it… or at least give it a go!

Let’s talk collabs.  Working together, working together but apart, sharing space, exhibiting with friends, inspiring each other… can it work? Why does it work? …and would you risk your arty friendships to stretch yourself?  We’ve watched our lovely friend artist Bron Jones collaborate with more than one other artist…all hands on engagement and sky high talent. She’s kindly shared her thoughts on the process.  Then good friends of the artchatter podcast, inspirational Sue Bulmer and Sam Waters share sketch books across the miles… so we thought we’d give it a go and coerced our accountability darling @ginabelfordart.

The life of an artist can be very complicated. It sounds like a breeze doesn’t it, happily painting, but reality is there’s lots to consider - not limited to health and safety!

While many of us can rely on family to LOVE that we’re creative, the ones we love often aren’t the audience for our work. They’re not our buyers. Sometimes they’ll buy a small piece or two as we step into the abyss of social media, galleries, websites, art trails and all the other scary unknowns. Then we’re on our own. Where to find our people…the ones who fall in love with our work? Once we’ve found them, how do we find more? Some things that work for other artists may not work for all. We need to play to our strengths and find our path through the minefields of information and ‘must-dos’ As always, we have a few ideas to share ;) but do tell us yours too. If you enjoy artchatter, please do tell others, share us on your socials, and follow us wherever you listen to ensure you keep up to date with episodes.
