The beginning of 2025 feels like three years ago. We wrote plans, set intentions, made lists and away we all went. Now it’s edging toward spring and we’re plodding on and wondering why we’re doing what we’re doing. Erm, what’s the point again? Now’s the time to have a little reset, reread the plans and decide if we were having a mad moment or we need to tweak and realign. Need some inspiration to get your mojo back? We’ve got you.

Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the WolvesFour Thousand Weeks Oliver Burkman @theotherartfair@raemelodyart@karengeorgeart @ginabelfordart@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.
