Artist Adam Crist joins The Artist Is In for a grounded, heart-forward conversation about what it really means to become. For Adam, becoming isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s a returning to who he always wanted to be. We slow down together and notice the small moments in nature that recalibrate our pace, talk about rewriting the fear-and-self-doubt stories we tell ourselves, and name the hard truth: you can’t go around it—you have to work through it.

The Artist Is In ·

2025/07/10

Guest: Courtney Barnard In this episode of The Artist Is In, I talk with intuitive abstract expressionist Courtney Barnard about painting as a form of inner truth-telling. For Courtney, art isn’t about external expectations—it’s about listening inward, honoring what needs to be said, and letting it pour onto the canvas.

2025/07/03

Guest: Sean Carney In this episode of The Artist Is In, I sit down with painter and educator Sean Carney, whose creative drive is as relentless as it is inspiring. Sean doesn’t romanticize the process—he simply has to paint. It's a need, an obsession, a daily practice that grounds him and gives shape to his days. We talk about what it's like to be pulled to the canvas (or in his case, wood) again and again, not for recognition, but for the pure love of the act itself. Sean also shares how tea...
