episode 19: Cooking Art - Joanne Weir
- It hit me the other day why I love artists so much. It has to do with the fact that these are the people walking around the planet who are riding passion fiercely into whatever they’re involved in. It doesn’t even matter what they’re making....
episode 18: Creative Fire - Nicholas Wilton
- I used to think of my art as something I did. It was an activity that I always enjoyed and I became pretty good at it. However, I didn’t think of it the way I do now. I was separate from it. It was more like a job early on. In fact, it became my...
episode 17: On Being You - Susan Melrath
- One of the ways we clarify our creative expression is by sharing what we are learning along the way with others. By teaching. For most artists, this could feel like a distraction from their art. However, for some, doing so becomes almost essential...
episode 16: Plein Air Wisdom - Doug Andelin
- On this episode of Art2Life, I’m busting out of the studio and heading to the coast with the amazing and figurative landscape painter Doug Andelin. Doug has been an artist for over 40 years and a friend since we attended art school together. His...
episode 15: Pursuing Truth - Marie Theres Madani

episode 13: How Breakthroughs Occur - Marjorie Thompson
- What does it look like to have a creative breakthrough? How do we get to the next level in our art-making? The artist's journey can be a long one. It can feel uneven and effortful, especially in the beginning. After coaching thousands of artists...
episode 12: The Artist’s Gift - Nicholas Wilton
- One of the many gifts that artists possess is a unique sensitivity to the world around us. We feel…EVERYTHING. If the lighting is off, we know. If the volume is too loud, we know. If a live band's tempo is slightly dragging you can almost...
episode 11: My World - Dillon Froelich
- It can take decades to create a unified but unique direction in our art. Many artists will stick to one medium for a long time to develop consistency in their work. But my guest for this episode took an entirely different path and his art...
episode 10: Staying Passionate - Gary Ruddell
- Do you ever struggle to stay engaged with your own art-making? I do. Approaching a blank canvas or notebook page with the same level of passion as the first time can be difficult for artists at any level. That’s why I love meeting people who...
