https://Art2Life.com - Nino Yuniardi started painting when he was 14 to relieve stress. When he creates his art, he takes things and imbues them with new meaning. That’s why his art is fun, playful, and full of vibrant colors. It’s light-hearted because it’s focused on healing.  He pays attention to his energy.

https://Art2Life.com - As an artist, the thought of not knowing what comes next is bothersome. But “not knowing” is often necessary. Sometimes we have to spend time pondering what’s next. We need to give ourselves space and time to sit with the discomfort of uncertainty. We have to get comfortable with the phenomenon of doing and not knowing.  I’m painting right now. I’m doing one thing at a time, uncertain what I will do next. I’m simply being present with what I’m making.  In this episode of the Art2Life Podcast, I explore finding clarity by sitting in a place of not knowing. Join me on the journey of not knowing.  ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [1:33] The idea that clarity comes from not knowing  [11:35] Knowing everything will eventually come together  [14:11] Understanding the fundamentals as your foundation  [15:57] Embracing vulnerability in your art  [21:20] Sharing your ideas to bring them to life  ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Adam Wolpert’s Art: http://www.adamwolpert.com/ Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Art-Arts-Transform/dp/0593449231/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life  #Art2Life #FineArt #AbstractArt #ModernArt #Contemporary

https://Art2Life.com - Rukmini Poddar is an artist, educator, and designer. Her creative passion lies at the intersection of emotional wellness and creative storytelling. She is an artist who draws feelings.  She admits that stumbled into art. It wasn’t a planned career path. When Rukmini graduated college, she was burnt out. As a graphic designer, she spent much of her time on the computer. She wanted to get her hands dirty, so she dove into the 100-Day Project. She started playing with watercolors and made abstract doodles. She started drawing her feelings to express her creativity. She’d post them on Instagram. Before she knew it, it became the anchor for her day. By the end of the 100 days, her life was changed. People would comment and say, “I’ve always felt this way and I’ve never had words for it.” Something extremely personal to her became universal. She found a community that resonated with her work. It became her guiding light.  Drawing her feelings led to a passion for art she never knew existed. She shares more about her journey to finding herself and helping others connect with their emotions in this wonderful conversation.  ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [2:22] Learn more about Rukmini Poddar  [8:00] Drawing your feelings together  [9:59] The magical process of art-making  [13:14] Rukmini’s family’s perspective on her art  [16:23] Rukmini’s career in graphic design  [23:00] Rukmini’s art-making process  [25:40] Sign up for an Art2Life retreat  [26:51] Making the invisible visible  [29:49] From group classes to writing a book  [33:50] Helping others unlock their emotions  [39:57] Why Rukmini is passionate about her work  [42:31] How life is a series of differences  [47:19] Balancing the tension between opposite emotions  [53:23] What’s happening next for Rukmini  ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Sign up for an Art2Life retreat:  The 100 Day Project: https://www.the100dayproject.org/ Joe Dispenza: https://drjoedispenza.com/ CreativeMornings: https://creativemornings.com/ Dan Martell: https://www.danmartell.com/ ================================= CONNECT WITH RUKMINI PODDAR Draw Your Feelings: A Creative Journal to Help Connect with Your Emotions through Art: https://www.amazon.com/Draw-Your-Feelings-Creative-Emotions/dp/0593539141 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rockinruksi Rukmini’s Website: https://www.dearruksi.com Creative Wilderness: A Healing Arts Retreat: https://www.dearruksi.com/retreat ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life  #Art2Life #FineArt #AbstractArt #ModernArt #Contemporary

https://Art2Life.com - Silvia Poloto emigrated to the United States in the 90s. It was here that she stumbled on a knack for art—and it changed the trajectory of her life. When Silvia was finishing her Master’s Degree, she started cutting out pieces from magazines and making collages. She started working with metal. Looking to learn more, she signed up for a class called “Metal Arts,” only to realize it was a jewelry-making class.  She spent her time in class creating small sculptures with the material. Her instructor was fascinated. She shared her art with him and he was impressed, convinced she had an art degree instead of one in engineering. That’s when she realized she might have a future in art.  She taught herself metalworking, painting and photography. With every subsequent work of art, her style evolves. She allows her inner self to direct the next piece. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [1:35] Learn more about Silvia Poloto  [8:36] Silvia’s studio in a shipyard  [12:28] The evolution of Silvia’s work  [16:35] Sirens, Saints, and Sinners  [20:58] Learn about our Art2Life retreats  [22:09] How art teaches you who you are  [27:21] How Silvia comes up with new ideas  [39:08] Seeing yourself through a different lens  [44:20] Embracing uncertainty in your life and work  [55:34] What’s next for Silvia Poloto?  ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Pamela Walsh Gallery: https://www.pamelawalshgallery.com/ ================================= CONNECT WITH SILVIA POLOTO Silvia’s website: https://poloto.com/ Explore Sivia’s art on Instagram: https://instagram.com/silviapoloto/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life  #Art2Life #FineArt #AbstractArt #ModernArt #Contemporary

https://Art2Life.com - The power dynamics at play in an organization can often make it difficult—if not impossible—to form connections with coworkers and superiors. It’s easy to let prejudices and insecurity get in the way. But an environment of collaboration and trust is key to successful organizations.  The truth is that as macho or hardened as someone seems, we’re all fragile. The human experience is challenging. Compassion and empathy are exceedingly important—yet exceedingly rare.  Adam Rosendahl combines music and art in a group setting that leads to groundbreaking and transformative results: connection between strangers. Everyone has a desperate longing to feel seen and heard.

https://Art2Life.com - I was walking into my studio the other day and met a woman who happened to be walking by. She’d recently taken my free workshop—while on a sailboat. It turns out that she’s an amazing photographer, artist, creator, and adventurer.  When Covid hit, she—along with her husband and twin boys—embarked on a grand adventure: Sailing the world. They bought a catamaran and started their journey in New Zealand. Taking action and diving in wholeheartedly led to some of the best experiences of their lives.  In our candid conversation, Kristin shares what she’s learned on the journey about herself and her art, the power of being present, and her advice to those looking to embark on their own adventure.  ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [4:00] Introducing Kristin Little and her art  [8:38] The decision to buy a boat and sail the world  [20:26] Navigating life on a boat  [27:25] This year’s Art2Life retreats  [28:35] Sailing is about being present  [37:28] Feeling where other people are  [40:30] Kristin’s experience traveling with her kids  [45:50] What’s next for Kristin and her family  [50:59] Kristin’s advice for someone ready to adventure  ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Rangiroa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangiroa ================================= CONNECT WITH KRISTIN LITTLE Friend on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristin.s.little Follow on Instagram: http://instagram.com/klittlephoto Kristin’s website: http://www.kristinlittle.com/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life

https://Art2Life.com - Danielle LaPorte loves simplicity. The closer she gets to a heart-centered life, the more she craves it. It’s become a spiritual practice. She lets go of anything she hasn’t used for 6–12 months. She doesn’t buy mindlessly. Instead, everything in her home has a story, a reason behind buying it. Everything matters. Simplicity requires letting go. It requires loosening your attachment to things that don’t matter. Are you able to take this approach in your art and your life? To be willing to make a different mark, make a mistake, and start over?  Go on a journey with us as we explore the art of letting go, shifting to simplicity, and of having the courage to make the first mark on a blank page.  ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [2:53] How Danielle responds to those in need  [4:45] Coaching in the matters of the heart  [7:59] Learning to let things go  [22:34] Learn about the Art2Life retreat  [23:44] The journey to loving yourself  [26:42] What you need to learn will reveal itself  [31:09] What to do when you don’t like your creation  [34:57] Why you’re never starting with a blank page  [39:11] How Danielle is nurturing her community  [47:16] The year of the heart  ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp: https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Habit-Learn-Use-Life/dp/0743235274 ================================= CONNECT WITH DANIELLE LAPORTE Danielle's website:  https://daniellelaporte.com Instagram:  https://instagram.com/daniellelaporte Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Danielle.LaPorte.Inc Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/daniellelaporte/ Danielle’s books and courses: https://shop.daniellelaporte.com/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life

https://Art2Life.com - Are you struggling to cast a vision for yourself, your art, or your business? Has imposter syndrome taken hold? Do you feel confident that you can make your dreams a reality?  Suzi Dafnis walked into a room with 30 other business owners about to start the art class I was offering our mastermind group, admittedly incredibly nervous. Though confident in any business environment, she felt like she shrunk into her feet when she walked into my class.  Yet she came out of the class having created something she’s proud of and found that she enjoyed the process. Today, Suzi joins me in the studio to talk about her journey in business. She firmly believes that if you have a dream that you believe in—and get a plan in place to make it happen—you can achieve it.  But just like you have to take your brush and make the first mark on a canvas, you have to take a step toward creating the business of your dreams.

https://Art2Life.com - Louise Fletcher is an artist and teacher, gifted at helping her students connect with their emotions and unleash their artistic voice. But she wasn’t always aware of her gift. She genuinely thought she had no artistic talent because she couldn’t sit in front of a canvas and execute a vision.

https://Art2Life.com - What does the journey of bringing your art to life look like? How does the process of creating inform who you are becoming? The truth is that you are a work of art.

https://Art2Life.com - In this special throwback episode of Art2Life, we revisit one of our most beloved conversations with award-winning art critic Jerry Saltz.  Making art is hard enough, but hearing from others whether it is good or not is especially so. Every artist I know already has, hard-wired within them, a pretty tough critic. I certainly do. So I never have been particularly drawn to listening to more of them. I know, of course, art criticism is essential in the art world. I get all that, but truthfully, I have always been a little leery of outside criticism in case it made me stop making art. It feels safer to hear more from those who are actually making art. They were the ones I thought whose voices mattered. At least for me.  But today you are going to meet an art critic. But not the kind I imagined. Not at all. His name is Jerry Saltz. He is the Pulitzer Prize-winning, senior art critic and columnist for New York Magazine. He has a bajillion followers on Instagram and is a New York Times bestselling author. He also cares a ton about art and especially artists. Which isn’t surprising because he was one. He switched mid-career because, ironically, his inner critic wouldn’t leave him alone, and it all became too much.  Jerry is whip-smart, funny, and at times, daringly truthful. But this is what I love about him: he just tells the truth. Or rather his truth. That is rare these days. Jerry is the artist's art critic. He is so on our side and wants nothing more for us than to simply stay together and above all else, to keep making our art. Join me now for this startlingly vulnerable and caring conversation about art and life with one of the most revered voices in the art world: Jerry Saltz. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… How Jerry became a bestselling author and why you need to read his books [3:19] Becoming a different kind of artist and recognizing the respect in art criticism [15:05] Why artists need one another [25:48] Making an enemy of envy and why we need to just keep making our art [32:01] Where Jerry feels the art world is heading [39:15] Jerry’s advice for artists when they receive criticism and the time Jerry criticized my work [46:47] ================================= CONNECT WITH JERRY SALTZ Jerry’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerrysaltz/  Riverhead Book’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riverheadbooks  Art is Life (Book): https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612485/art-is-life-by-jerry-saltz/  How to Be an Artist (Book): https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612484/how-to-be-an-artist-by-jerry-saltz/9780593086469/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life

https://Art2Life.com - Artists are always asking questions. When you’re always questioning, it’s only natural that a lack of clarity arises. Your soul is always pulling you to the unknown. We’re living in a world where opportunities are boundless. The curiosity to see what’s possible is a driving force. When you’re in congruence with who you are and what you’re making, it’s the best feeling in the world. And when the expression doesn’t match the creature, you must change.  Clarity is found through missteps, adventures, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to see a world of possibilities.

https://Art2Life.com - Caroline Millar was creatively blocked for a long time. She loved art as a child but had a terrible experience with an art teacher when she was 16. Because of it, she stopped painting for 25 years. She went through a difficult time where everything creative disappeared from her life.  Five years ago, Caroline joined our Creative Visionary Program. She embarked on a journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration. Caroline experienced a profound shift in her perspective and her life and work were transformed.  Caroline now helps other artists navigate their creative journeys, drawing on her own experiences to provide empathy, support, and guidance.
