Flowers, beauty & femininity: Artists share inspiration behind their floral art | Dawn, KC, Christina|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 02 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on our Arts to Hearts podcast, we have three guests who are featured in our book '101 Art Book: Floral Edition'. Our host Charuka Arora sits down with Dawn Bouchard, KC Christmas, and Christina Cowan to talk about their creative process, the hardest things they have faced as artists, and their experience of getting published in 101 Art Book.

Dawn Bouchard decided to follow her passion after her retirement as a school principal, and now this is what she wants to do all the time. For the past 5 years, she has been painting and experimenting with acrylic paints and soft pastels. KC Christmas is based in South Carolina, and even though is a part-time middle school teacher, her first love is creating things and painting which involves acrylic paint and paper collages. Christina Cowan is from Connecticut, and while she is a social worker, she has been transitioning to a full-time artist. Her work involves oil where she also incorporates collages, poetry, and quotes in order to tell a story.

For all three of our guests, the hardest part about being an artist is finding their style and managing the business side of it. This is something that rings true for many others, especially emerging artists, as the initial creative journey is all about finding your voice and how you can make the most out of your work.

The creative journey is not all about the challenges, but also the rewards where the entire experience of creating something can be satisfying. It is all about taking inspiration from different elements and then using your art to bring those ideas to life, and for KC, Christina, and Dawn, that is what it's all about!

Our book '101 Art Book: Floral Edition' has a stunning floral cover by Sonal Nathwani which also makes it a perfect addition to your coffee table. You can find inspiration in floral works by 101 artists and get mesmerized by their reimagination of something so simple yet so alluring; a flower. Order our book at the following link: https://shop.artstoheartsproject.com/products/101-art-book-floral-edition-flowers-through-the-eyes-of-101-women-artists-from-around-the-world?_gl=1*1rn6owi*_ga*MTQ3MTc4NDAyMS4xNzEzMjA2MDQ3*_ga_WH60B2P56F*MTcxNDU3MTU3NC4zLjAuMTcxNDU3MTU3NC4wLjAuMA..

Imposter Syndrome: One habit every artist must adopt to get rid of it |Susan diRende|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts podcast, we have Susan diRende as our guest. Susan has led a very fascinating life to say the least. Apart from being a painter, she has also been a teacher, has made some films as a writer, and spent a few years in real estate as well as a theatre company. Her books include 'Knife Witch', a fantasy adventure, and Unpronounceable, a sci-fi/fantasy farce.

Susan continues to remind us that age indeed is just a number, and you can pursue your dreams as long as your heart is in it. She did various jobs to support her passion for making art, and today, she is still very much consumed by her ventures. Her biggest fear is that she will regret not having done enough, and so now she is making sure that that doesn't happen!

Susan's positive energy is evident in the podcast as well as the Instagram reels she posts on her account. She believes in living each day to the fullest and showing up every day. Through her travel experiences and the work she has done so far, Susan has a lot to share. One thing she has learned from her life as an artist is to be consistent. Even if it's a small thing, you must stick to it and do it every day as it is the one thing that has helped Susan successfully keep in touch with her inner creative.

Susan's philosophy in life is to seek novel experiences, as they are the ones that keep us young. She still loves to travel and takes things as they come instead of worrying over what she will do after a couple of years. This attitude has opened vistas for her, as she always tries to do things she has never done before, and in turn, this practice keeps her creativity alive!

Catch up on this week's podcast to listen to a very candid and lively conversation between Susan and Charuka, where Susan details the many adventures she has been a part of in her life!

Liezel and Pegah on how to become a social entrepreneur in the art world

Charuka Arora — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week's Arts to Hearts Podcast is extra special as we've got not one, but two amazing guests. In this episode, our host Charuka Arora sits down with Leizel Strauss and Pegah Kargar who are the co-founders of Art Girl Rising and Repaint History. While Leizel and Pegah's individual art journey began years ago, they recently joined hands to create an enterprise that aims to challenge the gender gap in the art world and empower women and non-binary artists.

In this podcast, Leizel and Pegah talk about how they both decided to use their expertise to create a joint social enterprise and how challenging it has been for them to find financial stability. For Leizel and Pegah, the number one objective from day one has always been to create a platform for supporting women and non-binary artists. That's why, every decision they have taken so far has been made to further that cause. Liezel and Pegah also had their own individual life experiences that had a huge role in influencing them to support women in arts. However, their journey has been beset by its own challenges as they navigated through the art world.

Liezel launched Art Girl Rising in 2018 in order to support the female artists in the industry. On the other hand, Pegah Kargar was on her own path, where after a decade of being in the finance industry, she entered the art industry and founded Repaint History in 2018. Both of these exemplary women were doing their part in making sure that women artists had equal opportunities, until they connected online during the pandemic and instantly bonded with each other. Their collaboration has been a gift to the art world ever since!

From conceiving a simple idea of highlighting women in arts to now hosting mentorship sessions for artists and donating more than $37,000 in artist funding, both Leizel and Pegah have come a long way. To find out more about the impact they are making in the art world, tune in to this week's podcast.

Charuka Arora — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 02:30:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have a special guest, Lisa Ray, who is shaking up the art world with her creativity. Lisa is not just an actor, author, and writer—she's also the co-founder of TheUpsideSpace (TUS). This digital art platform highlights artists from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In this episode, Charuka and Lisa discuss the importance of putting yourself out there as an artist and the need for a more inclusive art world.

Lisa sees herself as a creative wanderer, always exploring and refusing to be limited by one label. While many know her for acting, she considers writing her main form of expression. She has published a memoir, "Close to the Bone," and many articles for magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar in India.

Over the years, Lisa has stayed connected to her creative side, and her latest project, TheUpsideSpace, bridges the gap between traditional and digital art. By shining a light on art from places like Bhutan and Laos, TUS helps bring attention to artists who often don't get the recognition they deserve. Lisa's goal is to create a space where all kinds of art are celebrated, and her journey is a true inspiration.

Lisa encourages artists to reimagine how they express themselves, and her work with TUS proves her commitment to making real change in the art world. Be sure to check out some of the amazing exhibitions they've put together on the TUS website.

Where do floral artists get their inspiration from?

Charuka Arora — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 02:30:00 GMT

Marie Younkin, based in Brooklyn, is a painter who primarily works with water-based media such as acrylics, gouache, and watercolor, often incorporating vibrant neon pigments. Claire Elliott from Portland, Oregon, focuses on oil paintings and has a profound connection to nature, which deeply influences her artwork.

Her work predominantly features landscapes, capturing the serene and wild aspects of her surroundings. Rebekah, located just north of Seattle, Washington, is a watercolor artist who draws significant inspiration from her previous coastal living, frequently portraying tropical flowers and scenic views. The discussion delves into the motivations that drive these artists, exploring the deep-seated compulsion to create and how personal experiences, such as motherhood and surroundings, shape their artistic narratives.

AI and art: How to use artificial intelligence to your advantage |Hanna Inaiáh|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 23 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast we have Hanna Inaiáh as our guest. This episode will especially pique your interest if you are intrigued by AI as our guest shares her journey of using artificial intelligence (AI) in her work, including creating stunning images and designs.

Hanna is a Brazilian digital artist and surface designer who creates designs that can be applied to home goods, clothing, packaging, and fabric. In this episode, she shares her journey of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into her work and how it has allowed her to create stunning and realistic visuals. As an artist, Hanna has worked with brands like Farm Rio, Sig Bergamin, Reserva, and Premiere Vision.

The debate surrounding AI is not new. Ever since its advent, people have been skeptical about AI's role in our personal and professional lives. Hanna argues that AI should be seen as a tool that can enhance our creativity and grow our business, rather than something that should be shut down. Reflecting on her own journey with art and AI, Hanna says that using AI tools has had a positive impact on her creativity and has helped her attract new clients. For her, it was experimenting with AI that expanded her creative vision and allowed her to push her own limits.

While AI allowed Hanna to see her designs more realistically and make adjustments accordingly, there has been pushback as well where not everyone agrees with Hanna's approach. However, regardless of people's opinions, Hanna has continued to do what she deems best for her art.

Currently, Hanna is exploring the idea of creating a course to teach other designers and artists how they can incorporate AI into their work. So, listen to this week's full podcast to find out more about Hanna's viewpoint on AI and how she managed to use it to her advantage.

Ali Hval on how to turn your fears into strength

Charuka Arora — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora has the pleasure of sitting down with Ali Hval who was the Emerging Woman Artist Award Winner 2023 edition. Ali is a visual artist in Iowa who deals with fabric, installation, ceramic, and painting. Her interest in adornment and the politicization of the body is reflected through the forms and materials she uses in her artworks.

In this week's episode, Ali talks about how she became an artist, what inspires her art, and how she was able to navigate her career. From painting as a young girl to going to grad school to finally starting her own art career, Ali always had a rebellious nature where she looked at the world in a different light. In many ways, her art challenges the traditional feminine and masculine dichotomy. With her pom-poms, glitters, chains, and locks, she is combining different elements and is redefining the spectrum that aims to put people in boxes.

Just like other artists, balancing creativity and art has been a struggle for Ali. Being an avid muralist, Ali has completed over 40 projects in various communities across the country, projects that have provided her the financial stability she needs. However, combining her style with her murals has been a challenge for her, something she is still figuring out.

Ali also touches on the subject of being the winner of the ATH emerging artist award, and how she feels about the entire process. She links it with her disappointments and rejections in the past, and how everything in her life has led her to this moment, for which she is truly grateful.

To find out more about Ali and how she found her niche and dealt with challenges as an artist, tune in to this week's ATH podcast. Learn how your art style makes you unique and how you can use it to your advantage!

On art, fashion and heritage: Building a brand with purpose |Richa Maheshwari|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Heart Podcast, our host Charuka Arora has an insightful conversation with Richa Maheshwari, who is a designer on a mission to bring back the arts and crafts that are fading due to the advent of fast fashion.

Richa has been in the software services industry by profession, where she worked as a product manager for a German company for almost 16 years. As COVID hit, much like everyone else, Richa took a break to spend more time at home. This was her chance to restart and explore, and she took it. After going to an office for so many years, Richa longed to be on the ground where she could do something much more substantial and tangible, and that is when she was able to connect to an international labor organization which marked the beginning of her life with traditional crafts.

As a child, Richa was always interested in stories that were rich in culture, and now she has the opportunity to tell those stories to the rest of the world in an innovative way. With its textile legacy, Odisha has many stories to tell, and so Richa decided to direct her energy towards uplifting the local artisan community in a way that helped the artists as well as introducing their craft to the world. For Richa, it is very much about the "ability to build narratives in a fun way so that the audience is able to receive it simply".

As she built her brand, Boito, Richa has had many things to learn and unlearn. From forming trustworthy relationships with the local community to finding a balance where their culture and traditions can be shared with the rest of the world, Richa has come a long way. She has opened doors for other artists who dream of utilizing their craft in a way that doesn't succumb to the fast fashion industry.

So, tune in to this week's podcast to listen to Richa and Charuka talk about the world of fashion and why it's important for us as a society to not lose touch with our roots.

Secrets revealed: How to be a successful women entrepreneur | Sarah Sham |

Charuka Arora — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Heart Podcast, we have Sarah Sham as our guest. With her super successful design studio, Sarah is an inspiration to all women who aspire to build their businesses.

In this episode, Charuka Arora and Sarah Sham discuss the challenges and obstacles faced by women who dare to dream big. For women, the roles are pretty much set by the patriarchal society they live in, and sometimes, they are put in a position where they must choose between having a successful career and starting a family. From realizing her self-worth to manifesting her creative dreams into reality, Sarah has great insights to offer to female entrepreneurs who are struggling to set their own boundaries and rules.

With a degree in art history and interior design, Sarah has done multiple jobs where she has worked at Vogue as well as an advertising agency. Apart from doing theatre, she has also worked as a news anchor for a while, before realizing that she was meant to be an interior designer. However, belonging to a family with a legacy of its own, Sarah did feel a certain pressure. At the same time, she was determined to build something with nothing but her own hard work and skills. Ten years later, she has accomplished just that with an interior design studio that vows to provide a seamless experience to its clients.

Over the years, Sarah has evolved and grown as a businesswoman and has learned to have more confidence in herself. Now, she wants to expand her business in the Middle East and focus more of her energy on business and marketing as compared to the creative aspect of it. It is as a result of these experiences that Sarah advises all women entrepreneurs to work hard and never stop. Even if they are taking baby steps, then it's enough!

To know more about Sarah and her journey, listen to this week's full episode which is loaded with wisdom!

How to build your self confidence as an artist

Charuka Arora — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora sits down to have a heart-to-heart with her beloved audience. As our third season nears its end, Charuka is giving the aspiring artists some tips from her own experience in the art world.

As someone who has been on her own creative journey for some time now, Charuka has learned a thing or two, and as she looks back on how far she has come, she is guiding other aspiring artists on how they can find their confidence in their abilities as an artist. If Charuka were to start her creative journey today, she would ask herself six questions to make sure she knows where her heart is so she can ensure that her creative journey goes on as smoothly as possible.

For Charuka, it's important to put unwavering faith in yourself and your creativity, and for that, you need to ask yourself if you are ready to do that. Furthermore, it's important to understand that hurdles are part of the journey, and that you need to be ready to fall a million times, and get back up every single time. The third thing you need to do as a creative, is to embrace your emotions fully, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable it may feel at that moment.

The fourth question you must ask yourself is whether are willing to break free from the fear of judgment. After you have broken free from the societal shackles, you must look within and ask yourself, if you are ready to write your story, as that is the most crucial aspect. And in the end, you must love and accept yourself fully, and ask yourself, "Can I be unapologetically myself?"

This episode is filled with wisdom and some amazing reflection exercises, so tune in to this week's podcast and join Charuka on this exploration of what it means to be an artist!

We have another 'call for art' for our Studio Visit Book V.3, where selected artists will have a personalized spread of their work, and it will be juried by the renowned artist Rachel Burke. You can submit your artworks here.

Is taking risks important in the art world? |Ki Smith Gallery|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week's episode of Arts to Hearts podcast features the second part of our interview with Ki Smith, the owner of Ki Smith Gallery. Our host Charuka Arora and Ki Smith continue their conversation about taking risks, being a successful artist, and how you should always push yourself out of your comfort zone.

Ki Smith is also the co-founder of Apostrophe NYC, and all of his ventures have interesting stories behind them! Much of Ki Smith's creative career was built due to his belief in himself. Even when he did not have anything to build his business with, he had faith in his abilities and his community, and he kept moving forward. At every turn of the way, he has aimed big and has gone for an option that would seem impossible to an outsider. Instead of caring about whether something was possible or not, he kept on trying different avenues and paths that would ultimately lead to him building the gallery of his dreams.

Now that Ki has his own gallery, and his business is flourishing, he is beginning to think past the much-needed physical expansion of his gallery. Now, Ki wants to focus on an internal expansion as well, where he can be of more help to other artists. His thought process has become more strategic now where he wishes to put artists in a spot for more success.

For Ki, having a growth mindset throughout has helped him greatly in achieving what he has today, and for that, he doesn't forget his family and friends. Ki rightly points out the importance of a community, and how it can play a monumental role in your journey, which is why, expanding your contacts and building a community is so crucial for any creative/artist.

As long as you have faith in yourself, and are working hard for it, you should be fine. So, tune in to this week's episode to listen to Ki's entire interview!

Charuka Arora — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on our Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora sits down with Tania Yakunova who is a Ukrainian visual artist, educator and award-winning illustrator. Currently based in London, UK, Tania talks about her art journey, her life experiences, and how she is learning to understand her inner artist.

Born and raised in Kieve, Tania Yakunova started as a copywriter, and soon shifted towards the art world. Even as a child, she loved to draw, and even though she has her degree in social science and social technologies, it did not stop her from doing what she truly wanted to do. From working as a full-time illustrator to doing freelance, Tania has worked hard to kick-start her art career in the most organic manner where she has constantly strived to expand her community and grow as an artist.

Tania is most interested in minimalistic jet expressive art with a hint of surrealism. Her field of work includes advertising, commercial, branding illustration editorial where she has worked with clients like Google, Apple, Visa Gold, Upwork, and The Washington Post. She has also received multiple awards including World Illustration Awards 2020 and Aplied Arts Awards 2020. Despite all of her success, Tania faces the same struggles as any other artist and often has to combats her imposter syndrome.

According to Tania, it's important for an artist to understand what they enjoy doing and are good at, and only then they will be able to find their visual language. Throughout her creative journey, Tania's background and war in Ukraine has had a huge impact on her art and the way she feels. And in the midst of it all, she is constantly trying to set new creative goals for her while following her dreams.

So, tune in to this week's podcast and listen to Tania as she shares her wisdom and experiences with fellow artists!

Carrie Pearce on how to creatively grow as an artist

Charuka Arora — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on our Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora invites Carrie Pearce to talk about her artworks. Carrie, who is a passionate painter, discusses how her art has evolved in the past few years, and how she overcame her creative block.

Carrie's artwork mainly comprises of portraits and paintings of dolls. Her art style is very reminiscent of the 16th century art with its realism and focus on human form. Recently, she has somewhat changed her artistic expression by incorporating materials such as beads, fabric, embroidery etc. in her paintings. Her transition came after COVID, after she went through a massive creative block. However, she managed to find her path again, and since then, has been creating some truly magnificent art pieces.

Over the past few years, Carrie has undergone struggles of her own as she transitioned through her artistic expressions. However, she has embraced this change with open arms, and welcomes art collectors who also appreciate her evolving style.

Talking about her childhood, Carrie recalls painting and drawing for as long as she can remember. From being inspired by Ann Adams to being fascinated by DaVinci's art, her styled can be described as 'imaginary realism'. She sees her art as 'emotional portraits' that are inspired by turn of the century photos that we often find at antique stores. Carrie has been featured both internationally and nationally, including Fine Art Connoisseur, and has a website dedicated to reviving realism in fine art.

Tune in to this week's podcast as Carrie talks about accepting her inner artist's transition, how she found her way back to her true self, and what does her creative process look like.

Through her art, Pallavi strives to present everyday moments from people's lives with a twist, challenging the stereotypes and facades associated with masculinity. By using simple language and relatable themes, she hopes to engage people from all walks of life and spark conversations about our preconceived notions.

Fitting In vs finding it in yourself as an artist with host Charuka Arora

Charuka Arora — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 15:01:32 GMT

Doing things differently rather than sticking to the norm seems very hard. Challenging these values we have grown up with can cause barriers in our individual growth.

Breaking these barriers with Charuka Arora and questioning existing rules about what kind of 'art' should be created. She believes, failure is a stepping-stone to success and one can only achieve it, is by finding their true self.

"What people said about me, stopped mattering when I believed in myself"

Your fears are justified when they are on the back seat. So hop on, and take control as your listen to what Charuka has to say about her journey!

Storytelling and art: Why your art needs to build a strong narrative |Kristin Hjellegjerde|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora sits down with Kristin Hjellegjerde who is a gallerist and a curator based in London. Kristin is also the curator for our upcoming book "100 Emerging Artists: 2024 Women's Edition". In this episode, Kristin talks about her curation process and the struggles she had to face in the gallery business without an art background.

Selling art is not easy, but over the years, Kristin has become quite good at it. She always thought she would become a writer, but she jokes that she lacks the self-discipline for that. However, everything turned out perfectly for her as she was able to find her calling and choose a career she felt passionately about!

From the outside, people simply see Kristin's success, but a lot of hard work and sweat went into it. From creating relationships with the right people to building trust with the collectors, Kristin has done everything she can to make sure that she has a sustainable business that continuously grows despite any external variables. Right now, she's running galleries in London, the U.S., and Berlin, and none of it came easy. As someone who started out without any funding or wealth, she had to learn some hard lessons at the beginning of her career. But it was her self-determination and constant struggle that enabled her to pull through everything that came her way.

Talking about her curation process, Kristin likes to follow her instincts and wants to be surprised by something she has not seen before. Being the curator for our "100 Emerging Artists: 2024 Women's Edition", she is looking for anything with a good narrative, whether it is photography, painting, or sculpture. Your art can be in any form, and the one way it will grab Kristin's attention is by telling a good story! So tune in to this week's full episode and listen to Kristin talk in detail about her journey as a gallerist and a curator!

How to set your art goals in 2024 |Liz Lidgett|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 04:00:00 GMT

In this week's podcast, our host Charuka Arora sits down with Liz Lidgett, who is the founder and owner of Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design. As the two ladies sit down to talk about their career paths, they have an honest conversation on setting realistic goals, creating a kinder space for artists, and collecting art.

Liz Lidgett began her art consultation business ten years ago, and since then, she has worked with artists, businesses, homes, and publications across the country. The reason why she opened her own gallery in the first place was because she was too passionate about the art world, and wanted to rectify the things she saw in it as problematic. For her, the art world is not just about the creating, selling and buying, but also creating a space for artists where they don't feel limited. Most of all, she wants artists to feel respected and welcomed.

While Liz grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, she later moved to Los Angeles, which is known to be the art hub. However, she felt that the work she wanted to do would do well in her own community. So, she started her own business in the Midwest which caters to artists from around the world. She was able to identify the things in the industry that she would not like to have in her own business, and now she brings the same passion and excitement to the table that she wants her clients to have.

For Liz, her definition of success has changed over the year, and she loves to follow her dreams while being able to spend time with her kids. Liz's experiences over the years have also provided valuable insights into the way she runs her business. For her, dealing with art and artists is not a matter of making a calculated decision, but rather the way she experiences art, and that's why we need more people like her in the art world!

So, tune in to this week's podcast and listen to Liz Lidgett talk about how her passion for art drives her to be a source of inspiration for others!

Kaylan Buteyn on following her creative dreams while navigating motherhood

Charuka Arora — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week, our host Charuka Arora invites Kaylan Buteyn, who talks about her life as an artist and a mother. Kaylan's journey is a fascinating one because she became an artist after becoming a mother. Unlike many other artists, Kaylan did not have the luxury to give her career the time she wanted to. Despite the odds, she talks about discovering her creative passions and the challenges she had to endure while juggling the roles in her personal as well as professional life. For Kaylan, it was hard to find opportunities in a small town, but she created her own path on her own terms.

In this episode, Kaylan talks about the beginning of her career, how she found her true passion, and how she manages it all with three children. Apart from creating art in her studio, she is also the founder of Artist/Mother Podcast which aims to provide artist mothers a platform to share experiences and connect with each other. The podcast community has now grown and it exists as the Thrive Together Network which supports female identifying, non-binary, and trans artists through retreats and exhibitions.

Working in textile, Kaylan channels her inner artists by making quilts, abstraction, domestic textiles, and collage. Unlike most artists who are drawn to blank canvases, Kaylan is drawn to materials, rips stains, and texture; these elements inspire her. Kaylan likes to play with the material she has collected over time, and the fabric compositions she makes are a direct reflection of her future and past self. In fact, it was motherhood itself that gives Kaylan her inspiration, as her maternal experience have contributed to her abstract art.

Kaylan believes in materials holding memory, and through her art, she aims to explore physical representations of generational care. With quilting, dying, sewing, painting, gluing, and stitching, Kaylan creates pieces that are more than just art. Each piece tells a story and contributes in linking places, people and perceptions.

To read more about how Kaylan balances her roles of being a mother and an artist, listen to this week's podcast and find out how mothers are often crushed under unrealistic societal expectations.

How set goals for 2024: An Artist's way

Charuka Arora — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 08:48:00 GMT

Welcome back to another episode of the Arts to Hearts podcast! It's hard to believe that we are already in the fourth season and have reached over 200 episodes. When I started this podcast, I never imagined it would come this far. But here we are, three years later, reflecting on the journey and the exciting things that have happened along the way.

As I sit here, without a script, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. Yesterday, I held in my hand a book that we've been working on for far too long. It started as a simple Instagram feed, and now we have a whole book in our hands. It's been a journey, and I couldn't even imagine this a few years ago.

Looking back, I remember the feeling of uncertainty when I started. I questioned whether I was good enough, whether I could make something out of this. But I'm glad I didn't listen to that voice. I'm glad I pushed through and pursued my ideas. And now, here I am, running an arts company, publishing books, and creating a community platform. With the new year upon us, I know many of us have mixed feelings about goal setting. We often feel the pressure to keep up with the world, to set goals and achieve them. But I've come to realize that it's important to find goals that are aligned with who we truly are. It takes time and self-reflection to figure out the person we want to become, the life we want to create.

For me, the process of creation has always been a driving force. I envision myself as someone who is constantly creating, exploring new projects, and living a creative life. It's not about achieving specific goals in a set timeframe, but about becoming the person I want to be, living a little bit more of a creative life each day. Goal setting doesn't have to be overwhelming. It's not about following a formula or ticking off boxes. It's about envisioning the life we want to create and finding our own rhythm.

That's why I'm excited to announce the "Artist You Want to Become" workshop. It's not just a workshop, but a meditative process where we will explore our dreams, clarify our goals, and create an energetic plan for the year ahead. During the workshop, we will spend seven days together, with three live calls, workbooks, and exercises to help you gain clarity and create a plan that aligns with your true self. It's about finding your north star, your guiding point, so that even when you feel lost, you can always come back to that energy and feel centered.

If you're interested in joining me on this journey, simply send a DM to Arts to Hearts Project (@artstoheartsproject) on Instagram with the message "Artist 2024" or email us at artist2024 at info@artstoheartsproject.com. We start on the fifteenth of January, so don't miss out on this opportunity to kickstart your year with intention and clarity.

Why community plays an important role for artists and gallerists |James Oliver|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have James Oliver who is an artist from Philadelphia as well as the owner of the art gallery 'James Oliver Gallery' (JOG) in Pennsylvania. James already had a successful career as an artist when he decided to open his own art gallery almost 17 years ago, something that happened quite naturally for him.

Growing up, James had already spent much of his years organizing festivals, etc., and so managing a gallery was something right up his alley. In addition to that, having a spacious art studio meant he didn't need to hunt for any suitable spaces, and so he trusted his instincts and took this major step in his creative journey.

For James, being an artist never came in the way of his managing his art gallery, and vice versa. Everything that he has done so far has been to sustain himself and generate enough income. For him, starting another business was just another way to support his art career. His secret to managing it all lies in the fact that he is constantly challenging himself and trying to get better at what he does. Without letting the pressure get to him, his motto is to let it all happen slowly and gradually, something that keeps his business steady.

As an artist and an art gallery owner, James' motivation also comes from the feedback he gets from people, and that pushes him to continue doing what he does. He sees the value of community, as it's his hard work as well as the community effort that keeps him going. Despite JOG being a commercial gallery, according to James, people do want to help and support to make sure it's as successful as possible, and that really highlights why we as artists need to come together in support of each other.

To find out more on how James transitioned from his role of an artist to a gallerist, and how he has been managing it so far, tune into this week's full episode!

Carrie Scott on feminism in the art world: What drives her fusion of art, business, and feminist ideals?

Charuka Arora — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on our Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora has invited Carrie Scott to talk about her career as a writer, curator, art historian, and TV presenter. As Carrie and Charuka sit down, they talk about the art world, wearing multiple hats as a creative, and how women are expected to behave in a patriarchal world.

Carrie started her career as a writer, but soon she shifted her focus towards the art world. Carrie's passion for helping artists was a major catalyst behind her professional decisions. From being at a writing agency to doing temporary exhibits, she has come a long way in her creative journey. What always drove Carrie was her love for arts and how she found purpose in this field. At the same time, she acknowledges the baggage that comes with being in the art world, as being an artist is not an easy job, contrary to what many people still believe.

For Carrie, her career took a significant turn, when in 2009, recession happened. For her, it ended up being a blessing in disguise because Carrie was able to launch her own business at a gallery and an art consultancy. Over the past decade, Carrie has worked with numerous well known artists including Nick Knight and Marina Shacola. Carrie's approach is centered on collaboration and building meaningful partnerships. She seeks out artists who have a clear vision, and helps them navigate the art world, whether it's through exhibitions, publications, or other creative projects.

In this week's episode, Carrie also talks about not just women in general, but also women in arts. Since the beginning, Carrie has noticed the stark contrast between the treatment of women and men, and she highlights how in this day and age, women still have to fight for equal pay. Discussing the place of women in today's world, Carrie calls attention to the fact that not much has changed between the 80s and now, and there is still need for a lot of change in the society.

To listen to more of this insightful conversation and understand how Carrie was able to build a successful career without a definite plan, tune in to this week's podcast.

Building relationships in the Arts |What you need to know |Anupa Mehta, Gallery owner

Charuka Arora — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Anupa Mehta as our guest, who is a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary art world. In this episode, our host Charuka Arora asks Anupa about her experience in the art world, the shift has she seen over the years, and her own relationship with artists and art collectors.

Anupa has been in the art world for quite some time now, and she has closely witnessed how things have changed, something she touches upon in this podcast. Anupa has had an illustrious career. With three decades of experience as an editor, art consultant, curator, and gallerist, Anupa is not only trained in journalism and arts management, but she also holds a Master's degree in Narrative Therapy. She is also the founding editor of Art India magazine, and the author of INDIA 20, a book of interviews with leading contemporary Indian artists.

Anupa started her career at a time before the evolution of the digital world, and so she misses the slowness of life and how people were able to have a conversation face to face. While she enjoys her work as much as she did all those years ago, she can also sense a shift in perspective and behavior among the younger artists. For those contemporary artists, Anupa has only one piece of advice and that is to 'be adaptable'.

Listening to Anupa, it becomes clear why and how she was able to excel in her career path. As a gallerist, Anupa knows the art of building relationships. She values trust and integrity above all, and that is why she is able to form sustainable relationships with her clients, whether they are art collectors or artists. She still looks at the world in a way that may be described by some people as old-fashioned, but that is a good thing. It is precisely those values that have enabled Anupa to see through people and gauge their needs, and that's what makes her so good at what she does.

So, tune into this week's full episode to find out more about Anupa and how she sees the art world of today!

Arts to Hearts Project is thrilled to announce the launch of our new call for art for a virtual exhibition, accompanied by the creation of an exquisite artist's book. The virtual exhibition promises to be a captivating showcase of visual experiences, while the artist's book will serve as a timeless collection of these vibrant creations.

Talking about its three stages, which include networking and outreaching, Paddy instructs artists on how they should navigate their journey in the art industry. With Paddy's experience as a creative in the art industry, it's no wonder that she has established a space for fellow artists who need guidance and help in their careers.

Paddy was always great at drawing and was attracted towards the field of art, and ultimately, she found that writing about art brought her the satisfaction. She had opinions, and she was able to share them with the world on her blog.

She wants to assure all her fellow artists out there that creative blocks are totally normal! Charuka wholeheartedly encourages artists to embrace and accept these blocks as a part of the creative process.

During the episode, Charuka generously shares her personal strategies for dealing with creative blocks. She starts off by talking about managing the content we consume digitally. She reminds us to be careful about overwhelming content and those attention-grabbing clickbaits that can trigger anxiety. Instead, Charuka advises intentionally selecting content that inspires and motivates us.

Furthermore, Charuka emphasizes the importance of grounding ourselves during a creative block.

How to sell your art in 2024| Marina Granger|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 04:00:00 GMT

On this week's Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have the lovely Marina Granger with us. Our host Charuka and Marina have a very fascinating conversation where they talk about feng shui, morning rituals, EFT tapping, and creating a stellar elevator pitch.

Marina is an art consultant and founder of The Artist Advisory. She talks about practicing feng shui, and how her holistic approach has benefitted her in her creative life as well. For Marina, her mornings start with recording a voice memo, which consist of three steps: talking about what she is grateful for, what her intentions for the day are, and what her future dreams are. She talks about her dreams and intentions in present tense, as if they already have happened. According to her, it's a good strategy as the mind is too gullible, and making such affirmations can truly help one achieve their dreams.

Marina loves to help artists out so they can realize the best strategy to carve their own path. She provides an excellent take on how artists can curate their elevator pitch, which consists of telling the clients why you do what you do, and what makes you special. In a world where selling your craft and your art can be tricky, it's always a good idea to have a fresh approach towards curating your image!

Born in Ukraine, Marina moved to New York when she was seven. Marina has 15 years of experience working in the museums and galleries in New York City. With a master's degree in Art History, she has worked with artists, curators, dealers, collectors, and consultants. She shares that if she would ever have the option to open her own gallery, it would have to be in New York city!

Tune in to this week's podcast and listen to Marina talk about the artists and art world in detail!

How Art Spaces Shape Our Community - A Talk with Brea Gallery Director, Katie Chidester

Charuka Arora — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on Arts to Heart's Podcast, our host Charuka Arora sits down with Brea Gallery's director, Katie Chidester. Katie, who has been part of the arts community for about 25 years now, talks about Brea Gallery, what it does, and why it's important to have such community-building initiatives.

Katie Chidester share with us why she became a creator and what it's like working in a visual art space. Talking about being in the arts field, Katie acknowledges the hardships artists often have to face as they battle self-doubt and are expected to succeed without any help or support. For artists, it become necessary to have a community where they are not afraid to approach someone for guidance or collaboration. More people need to step up and take it upon themselves to create such an inclusive community where an artist, or a non-artist, feels welcome instead of being intimidated.

Brea Gallery was set up in 1980 in Brea, California, and during the last 38 years, it has constantly strived to provide contemporary art exhibitions for artists and non-artists alike. The gallery's aim is to engage the community though aesthetic, educational, and intellectual experiences. Apart from its art exhibitions, Brea also offers artist lectures, workshops for all ages, a gift shop, and live art demonstrations.

To listen to more of this interesting conversation between Katie and our host Charuka, tune in to this week's podcast.

How artists can find art collectors |Quang Bao|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 04:00:00 GMT

On this week's Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Quang Bao, who is a gallerist and feels passionately about art. As our host Charuka Arora sits down to interview him, the duo talks about the challenges and upsides of being a gallerist, how artists can sell their art more effectively, and the diversity and inclusion in the art world.

Quang has been running his own gallery for quite some time now. He shares his process of choosing an artist and their artwork. While a painting can sometimes click, most of the time, his job revolves around seeing and predicting the potential of it all so he can make a decision.

Quang also talks about the upside of being a gallerist, which is that he is given the freedom and flexibility to do his work on his own terms, something that does not exist in other fields. On the other hand, for a gallery owner, the paperwork and being behind the desk can be a difficult job. In the midst of it all, Quang tries to find a balance between perceiving things as a businessman and trying to stick to the values he and his gallery represent, which is to promote the inclusion of women and other minorities in the art world.

For Quang, working with artists can also be an interesting experience as they feel everything so very deeply. He gets to be a part of their world, and he loves that. He believes that in order for artists to sell their work, it's important that they connect with other people and try to work with the gallerists instead of doing it all on their own.

To listen to Quang share more insights into his work as a gallerist, tune in to this week's podcast!

Katie Rodgers' advice for artists on connecting with their inner voice

Charuka Arora — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 04:00:00 GMT

In the latest episode of Arts to Hearts Podcast, Charuka Arora sits down with the fantastic Katie Rodgers. In the world of fashion, Katie has made a name for herself because of her paper fashion and use of water colors. Now, she is reconnecting to her roots by solely focusing on her imaginative play with the natural world.

Katie started as a fashion illustrator in New York and created the website Paper Fashion in 2009. From working with renowned brands like Estée Lauder, Samsung, and Clé de Peau Beauté to working with Alicia Keys, the Boston Ballet, and the Screen Actors Guild, she has built an extensive portfolio. Her work has also been featured in Harper's Bazaar, Elle Magazine, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times.

Katie has worked in a variety of mediums including 3D installations, illustrative pastels, and animation for commercial projects as well as fine art. She spent around 9 years in New York, before she realized that the life she has built is too fast paced.

In this episode, Katie talks about all her accomplishments and the work she has done over the past decade, and what prompted her to change directions. It's not easy to build a successful life and then pack it all up to start all over again, but Katie did it! While Katie's art brought her clients and created a stable life for her in New York, she has always felt more connected with nature. Camping and traveling are some of the things where she feels free, and deep down, she always longed for that slow, mindful life. For Katie, it's important to listen to her inner voice as she talks about the challenges she faced when she made the decision to move to the countryside. In Katie, every artist can find that inspiration to keep evolving, even if it means leaving behind everything they have ever known.

To find out more, tune in to this week's podcast and listen to the unstoppable Katie Rodgers talk about how she constantly challenges herself and why it's important for artists to push their limits.

Why Artists Must Keep Speaking — Even When It's Hard | ATH Podcast S5E15

Charuka Arora — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 02:30:00 GMT

In this episode of the Arts to Hearts Project, host Charuka speaks with artist and community builder Diana Weymar about how her Tiny Pricks Project turned simple stitching into a global act of expression. They talk about making art in uncertain times, how creativity and activism can meet, and why slowing down to make something by hand still matters in a world that moves too fast. Diana opens up about protest, grief, and the small daily choices that turn fabric and thread into a record of our times.

How Danielle Krysa used art to process her grief

Charuka Arora — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week on our Arts to Hearts Podcast we have Danielle Krysa, aka The Jealous Curator, as our guest. As our host Charuka Arora sits down with Danielle to talk about grief and art, Danielle shares her journey after losing her father, and how she found the courage to continue.

Danielle has been an artist for over a decade now, and while she has written books including Creative Block and Collage and Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk, she also runs an influential contemporary art blog. Danielle Krysa's other identity came into being as a result of her self-doubts in the beginning of her career. She was scared to show her work to the world and be judged for it as Danielle, and so she curated another identity where she presented her work as The Jealous Curator. Here, she felt safe from all the harsh comments and critiques. Danielle has come a long way now, where over the years, she has found it easier to reconcile her two identities and be confident in her abilities.

In this episode, Danielle opens up about losing her father, and finding her voice after that. Losing a parent came with grief and the trauma, and for Danielle, it was a difficult time in her life. For a while, she struggled to return to her creative space to be an artist, and questioned the trajectory of her life. But as she learned to give herself time to heal, she began to re-discover herself. She started to use art as therapy, and slowed down instead of rushing everything. She changed her outlook towards art, and instead of creating something to sell, she began to learn to enjoy her craft and live in the moment.

To listen to Danielle talk in depth about her journey towards healing and self-discovery, tune in to this week's podcast.

The biggest limiting belief artists have| Nicholas Wilton|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we are hosting Nicholas Wilton who is the founder of the Art2Life Creativity workshops and classes. In this episode, Nicholas talks about finding joy in his work, the limiting beliefs artists have, and the vulnerable moment in his life that pushed him toward becoming the creative visionary he is today!

Nicholas has always been an artist, and as he gained experience from his own journey, he decided to help others achieve that as well. He started with small destination workshops and taught online. With the assistance of his team, he helps people find who they are as artists. In the meantime, Nicholas has not forgotten his passion and continues to make art in his own studio.

Something Nicholas has learned over the years is that artists have little faith in themselves, and that is something that can really hinder their growth. Nicholas thinks that artists today are limited by the belief that some artists are more gifted than others. He argues that each individual has their own set of skills and is as capable as anyone else. Realizing this is the first small step you can take to build that self-confidence in yourself.

Another mistake that artists often make is that they compare themselves to others and worry whether they will be able to sell art. Comparison is the thief of joy, and Nicholas thinks that it can truly shatter your self-esteem. Instead of looking at other people's art, it's important that you focus on your work and be authentic, and only then you can begin to take control of your narrative!

In this podcast, Nicholas shares many more insightful tips on how you can connect with your inner artist and do what you love, so tune in and listen to the entire episode!

Why artists need to be more mindful on social media |Jennifer Rizzo|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 04:00:00 GMT

On this week's Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Jennifer Rizzo as our guest. Jennifer is a partner and director of Hashimoto Contemporary, and her focus is emerging contemporary art. In this episode, Jennifer talks about the hardest part of being in the gallery business, how she connects curators with artists, and how she feels about posting art on social media.

For Jennifer, being in the gallery business is gratifying as she is able to do what she has always wanted to do; help other artists. With her skill set and years of experience in this business, Jennifer has learned quite a few things about curating shows and exhibitions.

There is nothing Jennifer enjoys more than being able to witness the process and behind-the-scenes of an art show. As a gallerist, Jennifer has some tips to share for artists which include doing research and finding a gallery that is the right fit for them. It's all about building those tiny bridges and creating a community, and Jennifer is spilling the beans on that!

Jennifer and Charuka also have a heart-to-heart about how sharing work with the world can be daunting for some artists, and what can be done to get over that fear. Moreover, as a gallerist, Jennifer also emphasizes the importance of trust between a gallerist and an artist, and how artists must learn to have more faith in their abilities.

Another fascinating topic Jennifer and Charuka touch upon is the power of social media and how artists need to curate their online image. Jennifer thinks that it's important that artists focus more on authentically showing their art and process, rather than worrying about the aesthetics of their Instagram feed.

Don't miss out on this insightful conversation as Jennifer sheds light on art and the gallery business, and tune in to this week's full episode!

Artist to Author: Shelby McFadden on writing her book Groove Hallow Series

Charuka Arora — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 04:00:00 GMT

This week, our podcast host Charuka Arora has a heart-to-heart with Shelby Nicole McFadden, who has just published her first book Grove Hollow series. From an artist to a graphic designer to a business owner, Shelby wears many hats. Now, she is proudly embracing her new role as a writer, which according to her, has always been a dream of hers.

Shelby has always been quite imaginative, and she has used it to her advantage while writing her very first book, Grove Hollow Hollow Metamorphosis. This book is the first of a four-part series, and Shelby cannot wait to start on her second book! Throughout her journey of transitioning into a writer, Shelby has had her doubts and fears. Even after she has written her first book, she is overcome with her imposter syndrome at times. However, she has never let those doubts get the better of her, and has strived to manage both the writing and marketing aspects on her own. Shelby hopes to see her book adapted into a series or a movie one day, and her ambitions should be aspiring to all the artists and creatives out there.

As a working mom with 2 kids, Shelby McFadden's writing schedule depends on her kids' schedule, and all mothers will agree that it's not an easy business. Despite having to jump through these extra hoops, Shelby has not let anything get in the way of expressing her creativity through her words and visuals. For her, the work matters not because of its monetary value, but because she simply wants to share with the world what she has created. That may be the secret ingredient to Shelby's triumphs, as she knows there is only one way forward and that is onwards and upwards!

Shelby describes her first book as "an enthralling gothic paranormal journey" that is loaded with "intricate narratives, mysterious plotlines, and fantastical elements". The story takes place in a town called Grove Hollow, where our main character, Jade, moves in with her great aunt. Things begin to unravel as she uncovers mysterious secrets about her family lineage. As she works to come to terms with the crazy history of her family, she comes across a cursed locket that that turns her life upside down!

Tune in to this week's podcast and find out about Shelby's transition to a fiction writer and how she was able to create such fascinating characters.

How to overcome your limiting beliefs as an artist |Tanmaya Bingham|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on our Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Tanmaya Bingham as our guest who is not only amazing at creating art but also mentors and teaches younger artists. With her experience with art management, she has seen all the cycles in the art world, the good and the bad both. Now, she is using her gifts and insights to serve other artists.

As our host Charuka Arora sits down with Tanmaya, the latter talks about the early stages of her art career, what her ambitions and dreams were, and how she was able to evolve and grow over the years. While Tanmaya started as an abstract artist, she shifted her focus to drawing people. Her journey as an artist consists of highs and lows, both of which have played an important role in her growth as a creative.

Just like every other creative, Tanmaya also had her fair share of self-doubts, which she addressed by traveling to various places including Nepal and India. These experiences really helped shift her perspective on what she was or wasn't meant to be. For her, having a full-time art career was not a possibility until she spent some time in India, a time which helped open her eyes to the various possibilities that lay in front of her.

Tanmaya believes in putting yourself out there as an artist, as it is only then that you can go through a transformation that will be beneficial to you and your creativity. She believes that the negative phases in life are as much, if not more, important than the positive phases. As artists, we must embrace life as it comes, with all that it has to offer, and only then we can unleash our true potential as creative!

Tune in to this week's podcast and listen to Tanmaya talk more about her creative transitions and learning curves as an artist!

We have another 'call for art' for our Studio Visit Book V.3, and we have extended our deadline where you can submit your work by 2nd February.

How to connect with art curators | Liza Zhurkovskaya|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Liza Zhurkovskaya as our guest. Liza is an art curator and art advisor. For the past nine years, Liza has been working with corporate and private clients where she assists them in building their collections. Now, she has her own online gallery which supports artists and better assists her clients with acquiring original art and curating their collections. In this episode, Charuka and Liza talk about emerging artists in the digital age, struggles in the art world, and curating for ATH Magazine issue 6.

Liza was born in Russia and moved to Canada when she was 17. Once in Canada, Liza felt an instant connection with the galleries and museums. It was when she had her first gallery job that she realized that this could be a great fit for her. She felt confident about handling the artists and their needs, and that is the skillset someone like her needs to be successful at what she does.

Talking about having multiple ventures, Liza admits that she doesn't see it as debilitating, rather, it's an advantage because if something financially doesn't work one month, she can work a little bit more on another thing and vice versa. This also helps keep her motivated to grow and aim bigger.

For the emerging artists out there, Liza has a positive outlook to share. She thinks that being an emerging artist in today's age of social media is an advantage as they can choose their own route. Such artists have the option to decide whether they want to sell on their own or if they want to be with galleries. The possibilities are endless, and that can prove to be a big advantage.

Liza is also our curator for the ATH Magazine issue 6. She has a few tips to share for those who want to be featured in our upcoming magazine, so listen to the entire podcast to know more about how you can get selected!

Theme: Gaze

Women are often subjected to a gaze which shapes their identity. This gaze is from men, other women, and society at large which makes a woman feel conscious about herself. It signifies a woman to be The Other as she is excluded from the community. The theme for the exhibition is this 'gaze', of being a woman, a woman of colour, a person identifying as a woman, an outsider, and any other way of depicting hierarchy.

For further details:

https://artstoheartsproject.com/magazine-submission/

Our goal is to document multiple varied voices leading to a strong single female voice by showcasing various perspectives/ experiences of defining this "Gaze". This exhibit with international womxn artists is an attempt to construct a visual and vocal message with the support of art & women artists. Documentation of 'the gaze' that has stopped them, broken them, hurt them, and also set the fire in them to come forward.

ELIGIBILITY

We welcome womxn artists, or artists who identify as women, and/or non-binary from all countries and nationality to apply with works in any medium including painting, sculptures, printmaking, and more. Artists who are willing to engage in candid and transparent conversations. We want to bring women artists who are ready to share their journey, their learnings, talk about their brightest moments and vulnerable sides to be a part of this project.

SELECTED ARTISTS

If your work is selected by our guest curator, you will be a part of an Online Exhibition and few selected artists will be a part of All SHE Makes' #3 Print Issue in the Fall of 2021.

How can art help you navigate your emotions ? |Rebecca Hoffberger|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 02:30:00 GMT

In this episode of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, Rebecca Hoffberger, the Creative Director of the American Visionary Art Museum, joins Charuka Arora to explore how art can help you navigate your emotions.

Rebecca emphasizes the importance of intuitive intelligence, describing it as the highest form of human intelligence. She and Charuka discuss how artists and creators often rely on their intuition, allowing their creative process to guide them without always knowing the end result. This intuitive approach not only enhances their art but also helps them feel more aligned as individuals.

Rebecca also touches on the darker aspects of art history, noting how figures like Hitler used art to demonize others. She stresses that not all artists are noble, and like everyone else, they have their flaws. Despite this, she seeks a "beauty of spirit" in art, which she believes infuses everything.

Interestingly, Rebecca shares that many ancient cultures, such as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Hopi indigenous people, had no word for art. Yet, their creations were deeply expressive and significant. This perspective challenges us to see art not just as a skill but as a profound way of connecting with our inner selves and the world around us.

Tune in to hear more about how embracing intuition and creativity can help you understand and express your emotions through art.

Can Grief and Loss Make You a Better Artist? ATH Podcast | S5E24

Charuka Arora — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 02:30:00 GMT

On this week's Arts to Hearts Podcast, we sit down with Philemona Williamson, a painter whose work has explored adolescence, gender, and identity for decades. Her paintings carry layers of symbolism and narrative that have developed over a long career of making art that matters to her.

In this conversation, Philemona talks about how motherhood, her child's transition, and her experiences with miscarriage have all found their way into her paintings. She discusses what it means to be open about these experiences in her work and why that vulnerability has made what she creates feel more real and necessary.

Through her story, we see how the things we live through directly shape what we make. Philemona shows us that staying true to yourself, even when life gets complicated or painful, can lead to work that resonates because it comes from a place of truth. This interview offers a look at how an artist doesn't separate her life from her canvas, and how the hardest moments can become the most important ones to paint.

Philemona Williamson shares thoughtful perspectives on how life and art feed into each other, and why authenticity matters more than perfection. Listen to the full episode to hear her full story.

She talks candidly about learning to trust herself, setting boundaries, and giving herself permission to dream big, even when the world tells you to play small.

Whether you're an artist, a designer, or a woman simply trying to juggle ambition with expectations, Sarah's story is filled with hard-won wisdom and uplifting reminders. Her words will make you feel seen, supported, and a little more courageous about taking your next step — no matter how small it may seem.

How to figure out your creative process |Studio Visits w/ Rajul Shah, Chilu, and Anne van Midden|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This week, our Arts to Hearts Podcast is a special one because we have not one but three guests! Chilu, Anne van Midden, and Rajul Shah are among the 50 artists that have been featured in our latest Studio Visit Book Volume 3, where you can read about their creative process through intimate photographs and revealing interviews. These artists talk about how art is a meditative process for them in some way, and while the final art form may differ, the act itself is deeply therapeutic.

This week's episode is an opportunity for our listeners to get to know these artists beyond the pages of our Studio Visit Book. Chilu, Rajul, and Anne also share what their art is about and what their creative process looks like. While Anne compares her process to choreography, Rajul shares an interesting activity that calms her and gets her in the 'creative mood'.

Through their respective creative journey, our guests have gained quite a lot of insights, and hence, have some words of affirmation to share. Ultimately, what helps young artists is when they stay true to themselves. It works best when artists don't listen to other people, but rather follow their own intuition and not let anything hold them back, as this is what these three amazing women have done!

For all the artists and art lovers, this episode is not one to be missed as you will find several relatable moments and words of aspirations, so tune in to the full episode. Don't forget to order volume 3 of our Studio Visit Book which has been curated by Rachel Burke with a stunning cover art by artist Iryna Maksymova. Link of our Studio Visit Book is here.

How to create an artist portfolio that attracts galleries |Gayatri Singh|

Charuka Arora — Thu, 09 May 2024 05:33:00 GMT

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Gayatri Singh as our guest. Founder of Art Incept, Gayatri spent 20 years in the corporate world before she decided to enter the art world. Her gallery has a 'mentor's first' approach where experienced curators and experts guide artists.

Despite not having any formal background in arts, Gayatri was bothered by the fact that there were so many unestablished artists in India because emerging artists did not really have a platform. More importantly, Gayatri could see that there was no way artists could gain the necessary knowledge that would help them navigate the world of art. This led to the inception of Art Incept, a gallery dedicated to nurturing and promoting emerging talent in the visual arts.

What attracts Gayatri towards emerging artists is their boldness and fearlessness. She has observed that younger artists are more experimental and so they are using varied materials, which offers a fresh perspective. Her experience with such fresh voices has allowed her to make some observations, and she shares that wisdom with us as well. From making a good portfolio to choosing the right curator/gallery, Gayatri thinks there are a few things emerging artists can do to get their foot in the door.

Art Incept offers various training sessions where artists are taught marketing strategy, how to photograph their work, how to be present on social media, and how to work with a gallery. These sessions can make all the difference for young artists, as in the beginning, they barely have an idea of where to start. With the right guidance and training, they can make progress in the right direction.

Tune in to the full episode to listen to Gayatri talk about emerging artists and how she is noticing a shift in people's attitudes when it comes to art.
