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

57 - the boat

Are you too late? Too late to start something new, to jump onto the new thing, is everyone else doing what you thought of a few years ago, but didn’t get around to and now you feel you just can’t? Ugh. Right? Actually, no. You do you. When you’re ready. Anytime could be your right time to get on board, jump in or get to paddling. Warning: this episode contains mixed metaphors. Do leave us an honest review, share if you like us, and follow us on the socials if you’d like to know what we’re up to

🎶🎵“It’s beginning to look a lot like… 🎄” 🎶🎶 Erm… soooo this is awks BUT hear us out! All the big conglomerates and high street chains will be dragging out their tinsel with no shame as soon as the next month hits. They have mega expensive plans and goals and targets and all those things that make many an arty type cringe. But… what about us? Flailing to catch up as November screeches in?! Ohhhhh noooooo… Not this time! Let’s all think about what we’d like the next few months to look like. As

55 - intergenerational pan-global summer art revolution

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/07/19

How do you summer? Are you basking in pools, drinking exotic cocktails and completely switched off, … or manically wrangling children, grandchildren, dogs, cats and longingly eyeing your pencils and paint? Or are you able to embrace your sketchbook and sit, people watching, sketching and looking super bohemian? (The last one is my dream 😉) Maybe you’re all of the above, or non of those things… and that’s perfect, but without the guilt! Whatever you’re up to, as usual, we have ideas… let’s see how

54 - techniques for stepping back in

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/07/05

We all know that feeling (not just us, surely?) when we can’t move a painting forward… worse-can’t start a painting, or worst thing ever-can’t even face stepping into our studio space. Gahhhhhhh WHAT TO DO? Worry not, dear friend, we’ve got ideas. We’ve got ideas because we have been there… As always, if you enjoy spending time with us, do let your friends know… share on the socials and follow us wherever you listen to podcasts.

53 - what works for us

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/06/21

It’s always interesting to us to see how artists work, their inspiration, studios, how they do their thing… and we’ve been asked what we do. So, in the spirit of sharing (you know we love it!) we compare and contrast our practices… same same but ohhh so different! What do you do? Share your practice, someone may well find a nugget that inspires them too 😊 As always, we would love you to leave an honest review, if you enjoy the podcast share with others you think may like it too.

Busy, busy, busy… while it’s a great problem to have, how do we find the time to prioritise what we want to do most? Finding our way through the to-do lists to get some peace with our paints.

51 - confidence, confidence, confidence

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/05/24

All the talk of confidence and resilience in Epic Epi #50 gave us pause for thought. So many of our (amazing) contributors wished they’d been more confident when they were younger or starting out in their art careers. YES! US TOO! We get it. But how? How do we gain confidence? It’s all very well thinking it, but doing it is a different thing altogether. Luckily we have some ideas… if you have some too, we’d love to hear them.

Ever wished you’d been given the benefit of great advice from amazing artists, maybe ahead of you on their art career path? Well, to celebrate our 50th episode (FIFTIETH 😳 ) we invited artists we admire and love to do just that… tell us all something that they perhaps wish they’d known way back when. We have been blown away by the generosity of the contributing artists and offer them a huge thank you for their kindness and words of advice. All are thought-provoking, inspiring, and speak to their

49 - what if?

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/04/26

What would you do if… this week we wonder if the grass is greener in another other field. Remembering what we’ve done in past lives, and why we do art (at whatever level we choose or aim). We wander through alll the thoughts, but yet again, agree, in conclusion, that art is the best field…and we mix our own shade of juicy green. @stiffybags @sarahboden Connected artist club https://alicesheridan.com/artists/ United artspace https://www.unitedartspace.org Louise

47 - game plans

What’s your game plan? Soooooo are you just going with the flow, manifesting like a master or do you meticulously follow a structured plan that’s guiding your every move? Karen and Gaynor are on different sides of the spectrum… Karen has it all written down and while Gaynor appears to be winging it, there are actually some similarities after all. Tell us your plan-what’s working for you? As always, many thanks for listening, we’d grateful if you’d follow the podcast and share on social media if

Are you your own worst critic? Ever asked for an opinion and instantly regretted it?

45 - joining in

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/03/01

Are you a course junkie, a joiner-in, a membership lover, have a love of alllll communities? This time we work out what works - Karen, as you’d maybe guess, is a considered member of groups, is the founder of an arts trail which is in its 10th year and offers sell out in-person workshops. Conversely Gaynor joins everything, but has a reluctance to engage fully… Which are you? Do you value community? Do you WANT community? One thing is for sure artists by nature are very giving and generous. Episode

Do you make assumptions? Do people make assumptions about you? Can you tell who someone is and what they do at first glance? Okay, so this week we chat about lots of things we consider fact, but in reality, we’re not our own market, maybe we should chat to everyone without prejudging… and you’ll never know what could happen.Let us know what you think!

43 - overcoming overwhelm

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2023/02/01

Sometimes we slip. Sometimes we slip up. Our creative time gets disrupted and we slide into the ditch. It’s about finding our way out to overcoming the banana skins life throws in our way. We had an absolutely amazing annual planning session in our accountability group. It was great, we were all fired up, raring to go on little steps to grow big leaps - except Karen is in painting mode. She lost her focus and got lost in coffee and cake. We find out how she dealt with it, overcame it and found her

Whilst Karen is tucked away in her studio splashing all the paint around, ready for a solo show, Gaynor is planning and thinking and collecting thoughts. We have different motivations - in fact we are such opposites we really do complement each other! Which are you… How do you work? Do you follow us on Instagram? Have you signed up for Karen’s studio news or Gaynor’s monthly newsletter? Maybe there’s a topic you’d like us to chat about… get in touch we’re always happy to hear from you. Episode

artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George ·

2022/12/07

Ch Ch Ch Changes! Whether it’s a deliberate plan to Move On or a gradual evolution, we all make changes. To our practice, to our selves, to the way we see things. It’s interesting to look back and assess how far we’ve travelled-what’s worked… what hasn’t! Do we plan it, or do we just flit like butterflies until we find what suits us?
