The Art Life

What is the Art Life? The inquisitive, insightful, funny and dedicated podcast that challenges us to see the art in our daily lives. Grace and Xandra skillfully guides us on a journey of the artist, both within and around, and after listening to their embracing curiosity, you cannot help but take the journey and accept the challenge. All creators, this is a podcast for you.

The art life is many things in my opinion. It’s an amazing entanglement of passion, love, critical thinking and of course, art. We can all create art without being “artists”. Cooking a great meal for your family is art. Decorating your house is art. Reading a book is art (which creates thoughts and pictures in your mind while you read). And of course doodling, drawing, painting or sculpting something out of Play-Doh or even Legos is art. Creating something, anything, is art. Creating nothing and standing still will only keep you and your state of mind where it currently is. If you want happiness, you need to create and cultivate that creativity, always.

Listening to these two banter about the Art Life brings me absolute delight. This is not just for “professional” artists, although both hosts are that, but for anyone seeking to reconnect with creativity in their soul.

This podcast covers a variety of topics, and always brings them back to how we are all artists! I love that this podcast sets a scene and makes me feel like I’m sitting in the same place as the co-hosts! I look forward to catching up with Xandra and Grace each week as they offer an honest and intelligent discussion. They curate different interviews/conversations to provide fruitful listening, while also relating this to their “normal” lives’. The combination makes this podcast valuably relatable and personal. My imagination is cultivated and my perspective on my world is enriched.
