artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George

• 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

• 100 - pivotal moments

  Gahhhhh it’s the 100th episode of artchatter. Who knew? So here we are doing something a little different in celebration. Three-ish years, two artists and one question for four (technically five, but for aesthetics) people who inspire us… What’s the question? Simple. Did you have a pivotal moment in your career?A significant moment where something clicked, you grabbed an opportunity or had a realisation that you were on to something. Conversely, when you finally decided things had to change. Although everyone had a different story and perspective, there are so many relatable feelings and emotions for all of us.Once again we would like to thank the lovely women who shared their moments. We’ve watched them online for such a long time, and all feel like we know them, so it’s lovely to hear from them 💕Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages, share and follow and have made the last three-ish 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 Victor on Unsplash“It's not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters.” -Epictetus.Ancient quote by Epictetus; he says, “It’s not what happens that determines the quality or quantity of your life, and the reason is that what happens — happens to about everyone. The sun went down on all of us last night — a common event — and the same thing can indeed happen to two different people, but one gets rich, and the other stays poor. Why is that? It’s not because of what happens but rather what you do about it.”Louise FletcherArt Tribe Alice SheridanGeorgina NoelSharon HarveySanctuary GalleryMary PriceHome is Where the Art isJo WhitelandKirsty & Andie Reels RockstarsDahlia BeachRebuildagramStudio 44AdGina Belford Art@karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcast About 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
