When I first saw this posted I couldn’t help but think, “when two stars collide!” What a gift this production is to those of us who truly admire you both! Thank you.
.Terrific! 2 of my favorite teachers/artists sharing insight, enthusiasm, tips, inspiration. And interesting to see how many of us commenting have connections and enjoyment of these two. A great synergy.
Oh, joy! Two of my favorite artists in conversation with another, talking abour all those components of artmaking that are so intrinsic to the process. Thank you.
I've done 2 of Jane's in-person workshops held in Traverse City, Michigan, and they were fabulous! Jane inspires her students to discover new ideas and play with them. I particularly liked when we all placed our work on the bulletin board, and we commented on each others work. I found it very enlightening hearing what the more experienced artists had to say. They introduced to the group additional ideas. I have all of Janes books and use them frequently as references.
I can listen to you both day after day! You inspire me to explore, create, continue... thankyou so much for this conversation! I will save it to remind me how to remain authentic in my own artistic journey.
I watched this interview again today. What a treat to have such very talented artists have an honest conversation about how they each work. What I take away is how they approach each painting, coming from the heart, what pleases them, what motivates them. Thank you both!
Re: that feeling of copying others, etc, I had the same problem with my fine art photography (I've been doing photography for 50 years, now, since I was 19). Like most who get into photography, I was all over the place until I decided to find my own niche and style. But, even in my quest to differentiate myself from the herd, I discovered there is nothing new under the sun. I can only do my own take on a style and genre that has existed for over a century. But, that's fine. I like the thought of being part of a stylistic stream that I share with many famous photographers....even if no one ever knows anything about me.
What a pleasure to watch this interview. I am an old fan of Jane and it was a pleasure to see the interaction of you two, ladies! Thank you for the generous length and depth of the conversation!
You ladies talk such a lot of good sense. I love the focus on curiosity; that is a hugely important element of my life, and art making (I think it’s something that should be critical to all of us!).
I agree with DC’s comment about stars colliding. You both have been so helpful to me in my teaching and artistic pursuit! I have taken many classes over the years but it is rare to find excellent artists that can teach as well. Thank you both.
Thanks ladies for you interview. I think in the same terms as both of you and have admired both of your processes and art works. It’s like being around like minded people and reinforces how I work as well. I really enjoyed your conversation.
Yes been following Jane Davies, and bought her book and have learnt a lot from doing the exercises in it about making abstract art. Next book to get is yours Louise.
Great interview, such thoughtful questions. I've gleaned so much from this. Many thanks, loved getting to know you and your art process more after years of watching your vids ❤ 9:40 "by following my curiosity". So true! The part about getting obsessed and then moving on is a very introvert thing. I'm the same, very curious and I dive deep when I do. And delineating contrast - very helpful. 58:48 Right with you there 👍 And now to check out Loise Fletcher.
What a wonderful conversation, thank you. I've only recently discovered Jane and this was an excellent introduction to your art making and practice. I look forward to watching & learning more.
I really enjoyed this you are two of my top favorites. I will probably listen to it again because you both have such a brilliant way of sharing your thoughts and not only your knowledge of art but also your knowledge of the artist? 😊❤️
When I was looking for this to leave a comment, I typed “Jane Davies Interview with …” the algorithm helpfully suggested “a vampire”! (Will definitely watch that next.) You two are at the top of my current favorites list (of living artists … maybe the vampire interview will add a few undead ones). I noticed that both of you always say so when what we’re seeing “isn’t a finished piece,” which I thought might be something that you wouldn’t say after years of experience. Why do you think you point that out?
Because we want you to know it's not finished! It's so important to me to present my art well - to frame it well, to display it well online etc - so when something isn't finished, I don't mind you seeing it, but I want to be clear that it's in progress
I do it because we are SO accustomed to seeing finished work when we look at art. It's important to know what you are looking at. I'm not sure that I understand the questions, though: do you mean why wouldn't we finish the pieces? Or why don't we assume that people know we're looking at works in progress? We may have been making art for years, but we can't know who the audience is, so better to be clear.
Every artist's work winds up being a synthesis of everything they've seen or experienced, even if this is unconscious. So, there is nothing at all wrong with copying, as long as you wind up somehow different, and if you do it enough, and for long enough, it will be different and it will ultimately be your own take on things.
Please can you let me know the artist who was painting circles/ stone is it Corrine le get? Can not find her on internet or instagram. Thank you for such an interesting video

I've been a fan of Jane's work for a very long time. It's always inspiring to watch (and re-watch) her videos.
Dear Jane: We need more Jane. More chickens painting. More stripes. More.... whatever it is you're doing. thank you!
.Terrific! 2 of my favorite teachers/artists sharing insight, enthusiasm, tips, inspiration. And interesting to see how many of us commenting have connections and enjoyment of these two. A great synergy.

This is such a treat. Two of my favourite women artists chatting about art.
Thank you for this talk! I needed to hear it...❤
I watched this interview again today. What a treat to have such very talented artists have an honest conversation about how they each work. What I take away is how they approach each painting, coming from the heart, what pleases them, what motivates them. Thank you both!
I love your work! The colors and designs are awesome!
Thanks for this, Jane. Now I've become familiar with Louise's work, also.

I loved your conversation, very inspiring!
My two favorite people!!!
Sisters on the path… what a joy to hear your honesty. It’s a path why should we stay stagnant ?
Yeah, jaming different things together!!

31 - the artist as maker and viewer rather than painting “for others” - such an important attitude to have for any artist

Oscar Wilde said..."Be yourself, everyone else is taken !"
The stripes would make great textiles for shirts etc
Yep. Jane's a process-driven artist, for sure.
What was the name of the artist Jane mentioned, Corrine ?
I think I mentioned Karine Léger.
