Show Notes
Righty-ho, we’ve reviewed allllll the things we’ve been doing. What do we work on now? What are we carrying forward and what are we gently expelling from our lives?
Let’s get specific, grab some details and prioritise how we move forward. Break steps down rather than plunging in to the deep end and make sure we’re aligned with big ideas we’re swimming towards. Do you have small and large rewards for each stage?
Now let’s get some cheerleaders in place. Who’s in your team? How will you keep on track?
Now, we invite you to tell us how you … as always, there’s lots more to chat about.
Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcast

More from artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George
No matter what life throws at us, we have stuff to do. We have events. Big, small and all approached with hope and a smile. We need our paintings finished, framed and ready to go…done. Except there’s so much more to consider.
What dictates how you create? Practicality, colour, luminosity, the way it feeeeeelsss, the tools you use, the space you have?
Get ready for the invasion of small humans. It’s THAT time again, people will visit, tiny creatures will devour your brain cells AND energy. Grandparent artists will find their days filled with love and sticky fingers; parent artists will become personal chauffeurs, chefs, and/or entertainment officers. There will be tantrums (mainly from artists who need some creativity time).
Holy heck, it’s been five whole years of mixing up friendship and art. Thank you. What’s changed? Hair cuts, glasses, we’ve had exhibitions, photo shoots, attended art fairs, been nominated (came second!) for a women’s business award and started a club (
