This week, I’m chatting with painter Mya Bessette.  Mya creates beautiful abstract landscapes, many of which are inspired by the nature around her home in Bigfork, Montana.  I love how expansive and atmospheric Mya’s paintings are - some of them are more moody and mysterious, and others are bursting with light and color.  Her joy and enthusiasm for art and creativity are totally contagious!  While you’re listening, go check out her work on Instagram @myabessetteart.

In this episode, Mya shares all about her work, inspiration, process, favorite art materials and more!

This week, I’m chatting with painter Stefanie Bales.  She lives and creates right here in San Diego, California, and I’ve loved getting to know her in person at our local Rising Tide meetups. Stefanie paints in several different mediums, but in this conversation we talk in detail about her gorgeous ink transfer paintings.  These pieces are SO unique and we dig into all the details of her creative process!  Part painting and part collage, Stefanie’s paintings draw you in with their soft rainbow of colors, life-like details and dreamy landscapes.  Be sure to pull up Stefanie’s work while you’re listening - you can find her on Instagram @stefaniebalesfineart.

In this episode, Stefanie shares all about her work, inspiration, process, favorite art materials and more!

Have you ever struggled with the question, “Does my art have to mean something?”  In this episode, I share how I think about the meaning of my art, and how my art-making process fits into that.  I talk about why I make art, how I’ve come to understand what it means to me over time, and why I’m fostering a rewarding making experience for myself.

This week, I’m chatting with painter Samantha Marett of Samantha Louise Designs. 

Sam creates vibrant abstract paintings - some are full of dancing marks, playful colors and chunky textures.  Others are more subtle and subdued with moody washes and glimmers of gold.  Sam lives and paints here in San Diego, California, and she also shares her love for the creative process through local painting workshops.  As you listen, look up Sam’s work so you can get a better picture of what we’re discussing - you can find her on Instagram @samanthalouisedesigns
