Customer Reviews
Insightful, transparent, and inspiring
I have found Beyond The Studio extremely beneficial in navigating the art world. Not having a formal arts background, the insight shared by both guests and hosts has been such a valuable and inspiring source. The content resonates on so many levels. I appreciate the level of realness and transparency shared on the show. The guests are diverse and offer an enriching perspective of the many paths of an artist, but also on how to run a successful practice and the inevitable challenges that anyone running a creative practice will encounter. Looking forward to more great episodes from Amanda and Nicole!
An Oasis in a desert
Recently found this podcast and am eagerly binging all back episodes. Amanda and Nichole are so engaging, entertaining, knowledgeable, open, vulnerable and passionate and talented. Their experience and energy have been a huge inspiration, comfort, useful and valuable to this artist-illustrator, who as a solo-entrepreneur realizes I can’t do this alone. This refreshing podcast feels like a network of artists friends and is introducing me to other networks and artists who share resources. Look forward to every episode, feels like splashing water on my face on a hot day, prefect energizer while I’m working alone in my studio. Thank you!!!!
Always pearls of wisdom
Every episode serves up some special insight the illuminates whole new spaces in my creative brain. It’s like finding big bucks in your pocket when you go to do they wash- a delighting surprise.
