  • Less Clutter, More Clarity - Andrew Mellen - Ep 143
    Sep 11 2024

    https://Art2Life.com - Andrew Mellen walked away from his role directing plays off-Broadway when he realized he had a unique talent for making people’s lives happier in a totally different way: becoming a professional organizer.

    Andrew is known for his transformative approach to decluttering physical and inner mental spaces. He shares the value of taking small, manageable steps to create a more organized, stress-free life.

    We discuss how you can be in the most creative state and why your cluttered physical world impacts your emotional, spiritual, and psychological health. Less clutter leads to more clarity.

    Andrew shares his creative path back to his art—and how he let his intuition lead the way—in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

Love Nicholas wilton!

I love Nicholas wiltons approach to art making and how he thinks about and shares process. His videos have helped me so so much and made it fun & easier to explore. So wonderful to listen to these podcasts and I admire so much the gentle and receptive style of interviewing. Great insights from it but it's suprising that it's even just hearing people talk about art and to also be connecting on this warm level that I enjoy.

Just what I needed

I just discovered the Art2Life podcast today (did a short online course with Nicholas Wilton last year but hadn't moved forward with any of the amazing things I took from it). I picked the interview with Susan Melrath to listen to first, as the title 'On Being You' just leapt off the screen at me. I feel trapped doing commissions, guilty that I feel that way as the portraits are treasured by the lovely customers I've worked with, but I'm bursting with the need for more freedom in my art. Favourite quotes are "Notice what you are noticing" when looking for inspiration around you and also the piece about actually letting go when painting and not just painting what I think "letting go" should look like. The interview is absolutely brilliant. Thanks so much to you both for sharing your personal experiences and your wisdom.
