Ep.65 Felicia Forte
In the interview with Felicia Forte, we don’t cover tools or techniques. Forte has a great FAQ at her website to answer all of that.
Instead, we delve into a conversation about process, big and small. We discuss how to create space for your voice to come out, why loving a teacher’s approach is much more important than any credentials they might have, and how to create work that is truly yours.
At some point you’ll hear Forte reference our pre interview tech call where she walked me through her approach for her painting Christmas. That conversation is available to Podcast Art Club Members here.

Customer Reviews
Among the very best painting podcasts!
Kelly Anne Powers is a gifted interviewer, which makes this podcast a delight! She asks very thoughtful questions of her artist guests, which brings out really meaningful responses from them. I’ve learned so much!
These are Great
Fantastic interviews. I’ve learned so much and been really encouraged.
Great interview with Nancy Reyner
It seems odd that a podcast could help painters, because you don’t have any visual input. But this podcast really does help! I just heard the interview with Nancy Raynor, and it really helped me solve a couple issues I’ve wondered about a long time.
