Behind the Art Inspiration: Abstract Painter Robin Davidson in Georgetown, DC takes us on a Behind scenes tour of her new studio/gallery space where she Creates connections through art in the heart of Georgetown.  "At the heart of every piece of art are connections waiting to occur. The internal and external dialogues that develop before, during, and after an artist is at work. The curiosity and emotions that emerge when something challenges, moves or inspires. The conversations that unfold when embarking upon a path of discovery, exploring hidden passions, unearthing one’s truth." - Robin

Cheryl is an artist, founder and curator of the Curated Canvas.  

Here's what Cheryl had to say about the conversation.  

“Together Caroline and I talked about the inspiration that resulted in becoming a podcaster,  her three very different studio locations from Tampa Bay Florida, D.C. and leaping over to her third studio in Hawaii and how these environments affect her process and paintings!  I had a blast and look forward to being invited back!”

Here's a variety of ways to engage with me on social media -

In season 2 episode 13 I have a flowing conversation with speaker, podcaster, author, radical flow coach and amazing human Angela Ditch of Grand Prairie, Canada about a radical way to look at living life.  

Angela has a special talent for guiding people to live from their sweet spot. AND living in the sweet spot is such a tasty place to be.  

"The sweet spot is the meeting point where one's current reality and unlimited potential merge. The spot where patterns of suffering transform into fresh patterns of flourishing.   Watching clients click into this alignment, growing confidence and clarity in all areas of their lives inspires me every single day." - Angela  

In season 2 episode number 12 of the Behind the Art Inspiration Podcast, I’m Connecting with Burning Man Artist Sylvia Adrienne Lisse of Jackson, Wyoming.

Sylvia is a multi-faceted artist with a passion to create interactive art with a healing purpose. From sewing tailored, fabric covers for large-scale metal sculptures, to designing and building temples at Burning Man, Sylvia creates art in a broad range of mediums. She works independently on a small scale, and often collaborates with artist groups as a crew member to sew, weld, paint and build whimsical, sizable, interactive art.  

In 2004, Sylvia earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree at Northern Arizona University in Art History and Fine Art, however her integral experience has come from apprenticeships and working on team builds for art festivals such as Burning Man, Symbiosis, What The Festival and Burning Man regional events.  When she's not building interactive art, Sylvia works contract assignments as a licensed travelling medical professional in the United States.  Sylvia describes the materials that she gathered on the Island of Kauai to build the Temple she designed for a community build there. The picture that she paints with words of the temple is an artwork in itself and worth a listen to.

Natasha first started writing children's books 33 years ago after having a magical moment holding The Polar Express. She wanted to create that kind of magic for kids so left her job and started writing. Natasha is also inspired by a childhood holiday favorite, The Night Before Christmas, and has written a series around that concept. She also independently publishes stories so that she can play a bigger part in designing the look of the book.  Natasha and I talk about her well-known "The Night Before" series which can be found in classrooms and children's bedroom bookshelves around the US. She tells the story of the inspiration behind beginning the series.

Noelle and I talk about her plans to travel the world with her family. Her first stop is Japan. We also talk about her recent book that was just published called Sacred Hellos - Messages From Heaven. 

This is season 2 episode number 9 of the Behind the Art Inspiration Podcast. 

In this special edition episode, I’m on location on the island of Kaua’i and in the studio of Max Lemaire.  

Max and I talked about the beautiful Na Pali coast and the luscious mountains there. Obviously, he is very inspired by his natural surroundings.   

Max is a multi-disciplinary artist on Kaua’i, Hawaii. Originally from New Hampshire, Max attended The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; he focused on painting and printmaking.  After art school, he traveled the country and the world, visiting Kaua’i for a stint in the process.  While living in New Zealand, Max taught himself furniture making.  He uses those fine woodworking skills to make his own frames and mixed media art. Max Returned to Kaua’i in 2010 and began painting again. After reviving his love for the surreal and abstract in his artwork, he also explored visionary art themes and realism.  In 2013, he started a fine art printing company with a fellow artist. Max opened Infinite Arts Gallery in 2015 and soon after dove into the mountains of Hanalei and Na Pali Coast as a subject. He spends his time balancing his many passions and muses. 

Are you at a loss sometimes when you are confronted with a situation and emotions are intense? Do you wish you had a toolbox of things that you could do? AND here's a spoiler alert - Marni and I talk about a series of experiences that we are offering that will help you develop a strategy for crazy situations.

In season 2 episode 6, I travel virtually from my Safety Harbor, Florida studio North to DC to speak with Marni Ratner about the art of expressive living.  Marni is a big dreamer, voice coach, and believes in the power of Energy-Inspiration-Breath. 

The art of expressive living incorporates the modalities of - theater, music, and dance, yoga, therapeutic breath and functional movement patterns.

In season 2 episode 3, I’ll be virtually traveling from my Safety Harbor, Florida across the US to San Diego, California and into the studio of Galina Marcus. Listen in as Galina and Caroline both talk about what inspires their artwork and how they both show up in the art world. Caroline gets the chance to describe her process for creating art stemming back to when she was a small child.  Galina is a self-taught artist, a mental wellness advocate, and an environmental enthusiast. She was born in Moscow and now lives in San Diego.  

She and her husband are co-hosts of  "In The Art Scene Podcast".

Thank you so much for watching and listening as I share my love of fun, connection, collaboration and ART. It would be great if you subscribe!

Being a facilitator of conversation, I pose an open-ended question to each artist in true Caroline style. “Send me a one-sentence blurb about you and what you do as an artist.” Then the conversation just flows from there.

And hey, I want to mention that I’m an artist too and it would make my heart sing if you were to go to my website and check out my artwork. I’ll leave a link to my website in the show notes..
