76 - focusing up

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/05/08

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..?

75 - walks of shame and worthy failures

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/04/24

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

74 - why bother?

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/04/10

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

73 - control

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/03/27

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

72 - am I an artist?

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/03/13

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

71 - bouncing ideas

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/02/28

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

70 - when you don't know what to do

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

Everyone else is doing ALLLL the stuff, they’re all great, but how do we get back into the groove when our mojo mosies off? As always, Karen and Gaynor have some ideas to share!

69 - what's stopping you?

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/01/31

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. If you know someone you think may enjoy the

68 - social media madness

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/01/18

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.

67 - new year ready?

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2024/01/03

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. Episode Links: Photo by Millo Lin on Unsplash @sarahtargett @jenniferdouglas.art

66 - doing what it takes

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/12/19

“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.

65 - are you having fun yet?

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/12/06

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? Episode Links: Photo by Xavi Cabrera on

64 - slumps

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/11/22

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!!

63 - people pleasing

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/11/08

“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!

62 - on finding successes, and learning how to handle...

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/10/25

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!

61 - comparisonitis

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/10/11

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

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.

59 - risk assessments of an artist: a summer in review

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/09/13

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! We also chat free courses, paid courses, online learning and when to just stop signing on to everything! (Maybe that’s just Gaynor).

58 - how to build your audience

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/08/31

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
