The Creative Kind

To round out the season I'm talking to almost all of this seasons guests again, with Danielle Krysa, Jordan Barnes, Susan Nethercote, Lisa Doust, Anita De Soto & Rosie Holt coming back to share their thoughts on endings and beginnings. We talk about how these artists see the end of an artwork, the end of a body of work, the cyclical nature of themes and work that can carry over into many years, or a lifetime as well as how they generate and explore new ideas. I thought this would be a particularly great topic to explore close to the end of the year.I also give you two small projects1- Share the pod ( Merry Christmas to me)2- Top 9- Will you join us in sharing 9 artworks of others that have made a difference to you or your work this year? If you do join in, find 9 artworks (from other artists) that you love and want to share and put them in a 3 x 3 grid, tag me or the pod @thecreativekindpodcast or share the post with me so that I can share it too and we can all see more art from different people and all get to explore some more art & artists for Christmas (Merry Christmas to us!). I'll pop and example in the newsletter this week.hopefully one more Secret Santa episode to come out next week, maybe the week after! stay tuned :DxJB Hosted on Acast.

What a way to end the year! In the last interview episode of the season I talk to Danielle Krysa the woman behind The Jealous Curator about imposter syndrome.Danielle candidly discusses how imposter syndrome has shown up for her, some of the strategies she has used to overcome it and quieten down her inner critic.We chat about the importance of self-discovery and perseverance and being ok with following your own unique path. Danielle highlights the value of overcoming challenges to create work that truly resonates with others.Throughout the conversation, Danielle also talks about the power of connection, whether it's through conversations with other artists or informal advice shared within the art world, there’s strength in realising you're not alone & how artists can support one another to overcome self-doubt. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did!Mentioned in this episode:Danielle Krysa (The Jealous Curator):The Jealous Curator Newsletter ‘Art Delivery’Danielle’s podcast: Art for your earAndy J PizzaPiper BangsAlexis MixterDanielle’s Ted Talk Danielle’s Art for your Ear episode with Wayne White You can find the podcast hereAnd the podcast newsletter hereThanks so much for listening!

In this episode, I sit down with Australian artist Susan Nethercote to chat about her decision to pursue a Master’s in Fine Art. We discuss some of the differences in further art education in Australia, the evolving relationship between her artistic practice and her art business, and the complicated juggle between creativity and commerce. We talk about the importance of reflection and reflexivity in the creative process, emphasising the importance of understanding your motivations. Susan talks about the value of self-knowledge in navigating this journey and the importance of being honest about personal and professional commitments.Susan’s WebsiteSusan’s InstagramSusan’s You Tube Channel Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I talk to Anita De Soto about her experiences of getting her MFA and also teaching in the MFA program. Anita and I discuss how a master’s program can provoke critical thinking and creative practice. We chat about the value of a community within master’s programs, where collaboration and exchange of ideas foster a supportive network that can last well beyond graduation. Anita talks about the structured environment of a master’s program that can allow for experimentation with new materials and concepts, encouraging students to push the boundaries of their work and develop a strong artistic voice. The emphasis on hands-on making, alongside theoretical analysis, can help equip students with the tools to articulate their ideas and intentions and help clarify their artistic identity.Anita De Soto WebsiteAnita De Soto InstagramYou can find the podcast hereAnd the podcast newsletter hereThanks so much for listening!
