159. Nostalgic Musings: Rediscovering the Joy of Being an Artist
Is it nostalgia? Maybe I've got those rose-tinted glasses on again. Do you ever get the feeling that being an artist was more enjoyable before? Is all this pressure to do more and be on multiple social media platforms accumulating, taking away the joy of making art? Join me and Richie as we delve into these questions and explore how I am combating these feelings by immersing myself in my studio and 'painting it out.' If you've been feeling weary lately, we hope this episode gives you a little comfort and encouragement to keep showing up and making art. It's more important than ever!
P.S. The paintings I mention in this episode are now available in my online shop.

Customer Reviews
Knowledgeable and encouraging wherever you are as an artist
I have followed Laura on Instagram for about a year, but I’ve only recently found her podcast. I have just listened to episode 153 and I found it truly inspirational. It seems to me that many artists, art podcasts and, indeed, creativity podcasts, say things much along the same lines as each other, which is unsurprising. What was special about this was the development of the ideas and the personal experiences together with the conversation between Laura and Richie. The fact that they, themselves, were inspired by their discussion gave this episode real spark. I found this podcast genuinely moving and I will come back to it. I have also listened to episode 154, which I found helpful. At the moment I work full-time and I am already over committed to courses, nevertheless I intend to sign up to one of Laura‘s as soon as I can because I think Laura will help me develop my art practice.
Brilliant podcast
I absolutely love this podcast which I’ve only recently discovered - listening to Laura and Richie discuss not only art related issues but the ‘stuff’ around living a creative life is so enriching and encouraging. Their honesty and authenticity is wonderful and what they share always strikes so many chords with me. It’s a wonderful highlight in my week 🥰
Episode 144.
I’ve been listening to your podcast for a quite a while but had to comment on this episode which i have found so honest and useful. Particularly for myself who has long aspired to lead a creative life. I constantly fill notebooks with ideas but do find myself too concerned with an end product / outcome to even begin! Your advice is so relevant and I know will be useful to so many including myself . Thanks again, Helen x
