Description

In episode #23, I spoke with Jennifer O’Brien, the Executive Director of Resource Depot, which is a reuse center in West Palm Beach, Florida. She had a lot of great ideas on how artists can help the environment, and I’m going to talk about a few more here. I’ll give artists suggestions on how they can try to reuse things, leave as little waste, and decrease the toxicity to the environment.

#87 Mary Price: Intuitive Painting in the UK

Artist Mary Price creates her art in Bristol, England. I was attracted to Mary’s paintings because of their bold colors, but also because you could see so many layers to them.

#81 Amanda Jolley: Encaustic Painting in her Studio Joy

Amanda Jolley worked as an accountant for many years before leaving it to pursue art. Since she didn’t have a formal art education, she sought out art workshops that she could take, and that eventually lead her to discover encaustic painting.

She now shows her artwork in galleries and continues her art education by inviting artists to teach classes a few times a year at her home studio called Studio Joy.

#74 Working Your Way Out of a Creative Block

This episode talks about how you can get out of a creative block, whether you are blocked from making a painting, a sculpture, or anything.
