Customer Reviews
Excellent interviewer, great content
While I don’t love every artist that is on the show, Kelly’s masterful observations and open, intuitive questions allow guests to truly answer with freedom and space. So many podcasters ask closed, leading questions that don’t allow folks to talk openly and flow from topic to topic. Talking about visual art in a non-visual medium can be a challenge and this podcast has found a way to do it in such an engaging and interesting way. I hope you never stop!
Great variety of guest artists
I love how each artist that is being interviewed is completely different than the one before. I have learned so much from listening to their processes. I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast.
Enjoyable informative podcast for artists that paint
I have been binge watching all the episodes. No matter what your painting medium or skill level I think there is great information and inspiration for all that paint or want to paint. The host does a terrific job interviewing artists.
