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
