My 78 year old bonus mom (extra special step-mom status!) and I (Jill) decided to take our fun and interesting chats about art and the creative process and turn them into a podcast! 

This is us getting all professional for our first recording! Can you tell we have fun together?! #BlooperReel

In our very first podcast episode, we introduce ourselves and highlight our relationships with art. By the way, Mama Judy is a life-long artist, and I’m more of a newbie – so wherever you fall on the artistic spectrum, you’ll feel right at home. 

We touch on our goal of helping others discover their artistic expression by overcoming the many and debilitating forms intimidation can take. From a general sense of discomfort in operating outside our “comfort zone”, to fear of disapproval, to perfectionism and beyond, initiating the creative process can be difficult – but it doesn’t have to be!

This podcast reminds us of the importance of art and how your unique perspective is a vital accent to our shared, universal sense of beauty.

As promised, a visual of a few things mentioned on the podcast today.

Jill’s 2nd grade horse drawing (hasn’t changed in the last 40 years — can you see how I thought I didn’t have the capacity to be “artistic”?)

A pencil drawing of a horse that Jill has drawn since 2nd grade.

Mama Judy’s “Sisterhood” – an example of representational art.

A painting by Mama Judy that illustrates what representational art can look like. The image features a representation of four women.
