  • 105 - why do people buy art?
    Recently several instagram posts sparked a conversation between @karengeorgeart and @gaynorljart - all around the reasons why people buy art. @emuplops @carriescottcurates @iamfrancebrunel and @lorimirabelli fired our chat (specific posts linked below) and gave us pause for thought. We asked listeners if they’d like a chat around the subject and received an overwhelming yes. How do we want to live? Why do certain artists or paintings jump out at us? Why do we covet a certain art style? Is it because we don’t create in a certain way, or we love the story the artist is telling… is it the colours, the memories, the place, the person… perhaps it’s all of those things. Can we even articulate why? What does what we collect say about us? Some people don’t consider themselves creative and collect art to feel a connection to the world of art, buying a piece that brings them closer to an artist. Others invest and are quite clinical, perhaps some work is bought purely as decor. All the reasons are valid, but what’s your reason? Do you know? Over to you! We invite you to tell us why you’re drawn to certain works… we think there’s lots more to chat about. Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen’s Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor’s emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo by Towfiqu barbhuiya on UnsplashLori Mirabelli https://www.instagram.com/p/DLkiYU7uGc4/?igsh=MXBuZ3I5N2hqMDZodQ==Emily Hadley. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLrNgQJIzMt/?igsh=MXJyYTgyNWdudWZlaQ==Carrie Scott Curates https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLnH_Rcouxf/?igsh=MXRlY3lmaHZibXFmeQ==France Brunel Tonia GunstoneTerry Bridgeman Dragomir MisinaPolly Gough Gina Belford ArtSarah Targett Sam WatersBanksyKaren George Sketch & Explore sessionsInsight Creative: Cheryl Taves Sketchbook Course Gaynor Leverett-Jaques@karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcast⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree

  • 104 - how do you see yourself?
    Episode 104Are we who we show up as on social media? What does authentic really mean… what do we care about what people think of us? Does it matter?As we’ve grown older and into ourselves, we find it easier to accept who we are and why we do what we do. Maybe it’s partly because we know what doesn’t work and we don’t want to just fit in any more.Authenticity may be an overused word in social media AND art, but it could be time to consider what it means for us and why it matters.Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen’s Studio News https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor’s emails  https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo by Gabriela Braga on UnsplashPark Run https://www.parkrun.org.ukBréne Brown https://brenebrown.comBrené Brown:the opposite of belonging is fitting in. Fitting in involves changing oneself to be accepted, while belonging means being accepted for who you truly are. True belonging requires vulnerability and embracing your authentic self, whereas fitting in relies on performing and adjusting to expectationsMel Robbins https://www.melrobbins.comAlice Sheridan Time to Shine  https://www.soulrocketstudio.com/shineOttelien Huckin https://www.ottelienhuckin.co.ukBeyond Boundaries Exhibition @footprint_gallery_jackfield@samwatersartist @jansaustinstudio @mike_ashton @klairbaulyartist @angelaslack_studio @morvenbrowne @[email protected] @gaynorljartKaren GeorgeGaynor Leverett-JaquesGina Belford Art https://www.instagram.com/ginabelfordart?igsh=MWQwMXpqM3Nkdml5ZA==@karengeorgeart@gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcast⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree

  • 103 - marketing: let's flail together!
    What is the simple definition of marketing?“Marketing, in its simplest form, is about letting people know about a product or service that might meet their needs or wants. It's the process of communicating the value of a product or service to potential customers and persuading them to buy.”Do we have answers? Not necessarily, but we do have thoughts and we’re trying to make sense of it all too. Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen’s Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor’s emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo by Merakist on UnsplashBS9 arts trail https://www.bs9arts.co.ukRae Melody @raemelodyartJo Hounsome http://www.johounsomephotography.co.ukKaren Turner https://www.karenturnerfineart.comGo.Large https://www.go-large.comFaye Bridgwater https://www.fayebridgwater.comArt Share Love magazine https://www.artsharelove.comKaren George Gaynor Leverett-JaquesGina Belford Art @karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcast⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree

  • 102 - what we learn if we listen!
    Chatting with other artists can teach us so much. Not just about them and the way they work, but also how we are, how we work, the way we speak to ourselves and manage expectations and pressure. Listening to ourselves-our needs-has a direct impact on the way we create, appreciating what we do and that we CAN is important too.

  • 101 - get ready with us
    Way back when in 2024 we took a trip to Cheltenham to check out galleries for a joint exhibition… the planning began. ‘Journey’ came from an idea of Karen’s to show how we work, from sketching in the wild (Karen) to splashing paint and navel gazing (Gaynor) to fully fledged and framed paintings. It’s been fascinating to see the differences in how we create, but it’s also fun to exhibit together. This week we share the successes and mishaps along the route from booking the gallery to hanging the work. Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen’s Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor’s emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo by Karen GeorgeSpring Cheltenham @springcheltenhamArtist Surfaceshttps://www.artistsurfaces.co.ukKaren George Gaynor Leverett-JaquesStudio 44Ad  https://www.instagram.com/studio44ad?igsh=emJwcjRtNDdycDJpGina Belford Art https://www.instagram.com/ginabelfordart?igsh=MWQwMXpqM3Nkdml5ZA==@karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcast⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree
