artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George
artchatter
Welcome to the artchatter podcast, a fortnightly window into the working lives of two artists, Karen George and Gaynor Leverett-Jaques. Join us for our chats as...
It’s easy to play it safe, to always rely on routine, but what if we feel the niggle to change things up? When we start to feel stale in life, in work, in paintings… how do we step outside of our comfort zone without traumatising ourselves?
As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.

93 - word of the year
We’re starting 2025 gently. Instead of signing up for all the workshops, courses and reinventing ourselves, (which, lets face it, are all incredibly tempting) we’re merely choosing a word to guide us, provide a reminder of what we want and pull us back to our chosen path when we get sidetracked.
What did we choose? It’s not a surprise that they’re very different, but maybe our intentions are similar.
Have you selected a word of the year? Tell us what it is, and why. As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.

92 - habits! and which ones are serving you
How many things do you do out of habit? What are you missing out on because you always do something that doesn’t serve you? Who do you want to see more of… let’s make good habits together, build resilience, build great self-care and become creatures of fabulous habits, not victims of our dodgy ones. So, tell us what you think! As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.

91 - trusting your instincts
Sometimes it can be easy to jump into things with FOMO driving us, sometimes we see others doing ALL the things on social media and love it all and want to be just like them. The trouble is, it’s not our thing. Do we plough on regardless, or do we reflect, learn what’s right for us and learn to trust our own judgment?
Gut reaction, the click moment, the internal nod are all signs we’re on the right path for us and don’t need to follow the herd. Experience and confidence are giant contributions to learning to get back in touch with our instincts. Trusting ourselves is so important to deliver art in our own way.
So, tell us what you think! As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.

90 - the right questions
Habits, tried and tested, keep us safe. We’re in our comfort zone and we know what to expect. Karen and Gaynor are noticing patterns - and questioning why they’re doing what they’re doing!
Are you in a rut of habits, too? Let’s reevaluate together!
Both Karen and Gaynor send out regular emails to subscribers - do sign up if you would like to receive them.
