54. All About Artwork Development: What's Helped and What's Hurt | Amanda Sandlin
Ya'll know I love this topic, and this season I'm bringing a fresh perspective on all things artwork development with my art wife, Amanda Sandlin. In this episode we reflect on what our work used to be like, how it's changed and what that development process has been like. We also talk about our current inspiration, what we're thinking about and where we might want to take our practices next. If you're wanting to strengthen your work, there's a lot of gems in here for you!

52. Art and Craft | Marisa Avila Sayler
All things navigating the fine, blurry line between art and craft. We get into why craft is often perceived as less valuable, price point and context, expression v. product, the embrace of craft in the art world, deciding where your work fits, navigating making both art and craft, materials, and so much more. Regardless of which side you think your creations live in (and ESPECIALLY if you're trying to figure it out), this conversation will be important and applicable to you.

Customer Reviews
Essential to my art journey!
I’ve been listening to Art + Magic for several years and it’s been essential to my growth as an artist. Devon is generous and honest with the information she shares, and it’s helped me understand my own struggles with finding my style, mental health, and navigating capitalism. 🦄💞✨
Chock full of inspiration
Love this podcast - I missed it and had forgotten about it until recently. Glad Devon is back at it and on fire!
