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.

https://Art2Life.com - Your art is the most important thing in your life, so how can you possibly put a price on it? This week, I’m talking about how to value your art and your time and why outsourcing the tasks you don’t love allows you to buy back more time to spend in the studio.

I’m excited to explore questions you may battle about selling art and scaling your business. Fueling your creative journey by getting support and mentorship in monetizing your art is invaluable. It will give you the time and freedom you need to create work you love that reflects your authentic self.

Leadership is first and foremost about learning to lead yourself. It’s also about gaining clarity, living your passion, and inspiring others. She believes that you are more powerful than you know.

https://Art2Life.com - Bibby Gignilliat had stopped painting years ago because she had a critical teacher who made her feel like she was talentless. So she spent years as a computer programmer, worked in adventure travel, and even ran her own cooking business. By all measures of success, she was successful.

She continuously pushed her dream of being an artist and having her own gallery show aside. Today, Bibby and I are painting in her studio. She’s an accomplished mixed-media artist who incorporates her travels into her art.

It all started because she was willing to push aside what she’d been told about herself and started listening to herself. Bibby shares her path back to her art—and how she let her intuition lead the way—in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

https://Art2Life.com - An art exhibition may be one of the most challenging things you ever do—yet entirely worth the effort. I used to be anxious about completing exhibitions on time. The thought of having to create a body of work on a timeframe can be debilitating. So why put yourself through the process? Is it worth the depth of emotions you’ll experience? I share why setting a date and embracing the uncertainty is transformative in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

https://Art2Life.com - Nino Yuniardi started painting when he was 14 to relieve stress. When he creates his art, he takes things and imbues them with new meaning. That’s why his art is fun, playful, and full of vibrant colors. It’s light-hearted because it’s focused on healing.

He pays attention to his energy. If he’s not feeling it, he walks away and comes back the next day. He emphasizes that you need to build consistency. Allow yourself time and space to play around with your work and move toward what lights you up. In this conversation, Nino shares his story, his process and how he builds art into his everyday life in a fulfilling way.

https://Art2Life.com - As an artist, the thought of not knowing what comes next is bothersome. But “not knowing” is often necessary. Sometimes we have to spend time pondering what’s next.

We need to give ourselves space and time to sit with the discomfort of uncertainty. We have to get comfortable with the phenomenon of doing and not knowing.

I’m painting right now. I’m doing one thing at a time, uncertain what I will do next. I’m simply being present with what I’m making.

In this episode of the Art2Life Podcast, I explore finding clarity by sitting in a place of not knowing. Join me on the journey of not knowing.

https://Art2Life.com - Rukmini Poddar is an artist, educator, and designer. Her creative passion lies at the intersection of emotional wellness and creative storytelling. She is an artist who draws feelings.

She admits that stumbled into art. It wasn’t a planned career path. When Rukmini graduated college, she was burnt out. As a graphic designer, she spent much of her time on the computer. She wanted to get her hands dirty, so she dove into the 100-Day Project. She started playing with watercolors and made abstract doodles. She started drawing her feelings to express her creativity.

She’d post them on Instagram. Before she knew it, it became the anchor for her day. By the end of the 100 days, her life was changed. People would comment and say, “I’ve always felt this way and I’ve never had words for it.” Something extremely personal to her became universal. She found a community that resonated with her work. It became her guiding light.

Drawing her feelings led to a passion for art she never knew existed. She shares more about her journey to finding herself and helping others connect with their emotions in this wonderful conversation.
