Standing for You - Louise Fletcher - The Art2Life Podcast Episode 129
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2024
- Art2Life.com - Louise Fletcher is an artist and teacher, gifted at helping her students connect with their emotions and unleash their artistic voice. But she wasn’t always aware of her gift.
She genuinely thought she had no artistic talent because she couldn’t sit in front of a canvas and execute a vision. When she learned that she could play with paint, and find joy in the process, it changed everything.
In this heartfelt conversation, we uncover the depths of finding one’s self-worth and embrace the concept that we must express every emotion in our art and life.

I was not allowed to express my emotions when I was growing up. Consequently when I left home at the age of 17, I was full of bottled up rage. I was always doing art but was never satisfied with what I created. Now I am 67 years old and have been in a wonderful marriage for the past 35 years. I've been painting abstract art and find it extremely satisfying. I didn't care if others " don't get it " I do it for me.
What an awesomely generous gift you two have given us! Thank you so much.
Loved this conversation ! Maybe because its an honest conversation. Just Two people connecting about art and life.
Incredibly humbling to see you Nick and Louise as two people being so real plus your genuine desire exuding to help others and yourself in this world of art!
Louise you are who inspired me to take the risk to attempt to paint for the first time in my life at 53 years old. I took the finding your joy workshop . You are amazing. My story is complex around how I found you, it’s been a year and it has changed my life. Thank you
I hope you will see this ❤
Thank you nick how cool it is to see you both together!
Loving the combining of Art & Chat. Something that everyone watching could join in with.
Why not host a Worldwide Art & Chat session Nick & Louise and Anyone Else 😊
Nick and Louise, yours are the 2 Art related podcasts I listen to. What a treat to have both of you in conversation together! There’s always at least a few nuggets of wisdom and humility and courage that comes through. Thank you both for your shining examples and encouragement.
LOVE the format! Took me back to those fun days in the free CVP week! I set you two lovelies on my art table and started playing with paint and things just exploded! I was doing intuitive play at my gelli plate and ended up with more stuff than my floor could hold 😂 I may have to just keep replaying this one indefinitely… the vibes were SO good. Love you both! Thank you!!
I’ll add to what has already been said that Louise and Nick are two of my favorite artists and teachers. My continuing interest in creating art started with Louise’s six maquette exercise to inspire and continue on the path. Thank you Nick and Louise!
Love the new format! Watching you & your guest make art, is doubly exciting. You are always evolving & growing, Nick & taking us along on your journey,
My 2 favourite artist teachers, together, painting. It can't get better than that!
2 of my favorite people!!! Love the new way of doing art and speaking!!
Lovely to see you both painting and talking about personal art and life. Very inspiring. Thank you.
Minute 26 had me thinking, "How you do anything is how you do everything." Thanks to both of you for your candor and vulnerability. It's not "just art" - it is Art2Life!
This is so awesome to see the two of you together. I have taken classes from you both and you have changed how I look at my art and at myself. Genius Podcast.
I really like the direction that you're taking for the podcast and am excited to see who shows up with you.
Excellent--like the new format.
This was wonderful!! I love this format of talking together and painting in your sketchbooks at the same time. I loved watching what you did, how both of you kept adding more paint and more layers and more color. It all ended up illustrating beautifully how art is indeed a way to connect with ourselves! I’m excited to go paint some more now. Thank you!
I’m in CVP currently and now know what I’ll be doing in September. Thanks so much for this. Additionally, the running reference was very helpful. I’m a slow long distance runner, having completed a very slow full, or half marathon on all 7 continents. Never did I expect to win the race or even my age group but always, did I have fun. I’ll now approach these daily painting exercises with marathon mindset, where every run is a fun training run.
Thank you...both of you!!! Two of my favorites, being so open and honest on how you approach your art, and your thoughts on how it all can apply to life in general!!! What a treat!! VERY INSPIRING!!
I've followed Louise and Nick, not realizing the connection between the two amazing artists. Luv you both.
I really enjoyed listening to you both and watching you paint! Thank you ❤
What a fantastic episode with Louise! She is absolutely wonderful. And I love the new format of chatting and making art. So encouraging and inspiring.
What a terrific segment. I follow Louise and love her work and her process. Just like Nick, there a little things I hear that resonate and make sense. I discovered Nick during covid and his weekly live broadcasts. I couldn't wait from week to week.
I'm so happy to see you both. I learned about Art2life from Louise😊. This is wonderful. Thank you
Really great! Thank you both so much!👏🏽💓
Two of my favorite people together at once! What a bonus! A huge thank you to you both for keeping it all so real and for being such an inspiration to me. You've both had a huge impact on my artistic journey and I'm so excited for where this might all end up! Nick I love the new format. I'll have to watch now instead of just listen...but that's a good reason to view every episode twice!
Every Sunday I set time aside to listen to vlogs from Nicholas Wilton and Louise Fletcher. It was a pleasure to see you together, chatting and making art.
Love this episode - you´re amazing artists and teachers ❤️❤️❤️
Two of my favorites together! I love it. Thank you so much.
I didn’t want this episode to end. Love the new format.
What a wonderful conversation. Perspectives I hadn’t considered. I feel inspired to paint
Loved this. Two brilliant teachers who have expanded my life and brought such fun into my studio
I love watching the two of you painting and chatting. I’ve been teaching painting classes for 24 years and I get ideas from you not just about my painting , but also, my teaching. Thank you!
What an absolute treat! Two of my favourite people painting together and conversing about art ❤ I’m doing both the Creative Visionary Program and Art Tribe and I’m loving both so much. Louise’s podcast Art Juice is wonderful also.
Wow! An Awesome Episode with both of my favorite Art Teachers. I really like both your authenticity. 🎉😊😊
This felt like just a huge hug and pep talk! Thank you both
Thank you, thank you, thank you Two of my favorite artists in one place! I have done both of your short free courses and you both have changed not only my life but my art making as well. Without the joy and expression through my art, I don't think I would be the 68 year old person I am today. As a retired graphic designer who spent 40+ years in the industry, it was difficult to let go. Sharing your personal journeys is such a gift to the people who love your art. 😍
Thanks to both of you for this video! Your sincere honesty is so welcomed and is helping me get unblocked once again. I’m currently in the CVP thanks to you Louise and the spark for painting in me has been rekindled! It seems I need a constant reminder that misplaced expectations are useless in helping to produce beautiful art. Many thanks. 🥰
I have missed this so.much! Thank you for being present for us Nick. 💕
This was wonderful. Two wonderfully skilled artists, sharing from the heart. I appreciate them both. @Art2life ❤️
Thank you both Nick and Louise for the inspiring and encouraging conversation. Wow! What a plunge into the way you both work toward supporting and caring for people who want to expand their lives and art! Im so grateful to have you both in my life and for all you have both taught me and continue to offer so genuinely generously and honestly
Same here Valerie. This made my day!
You both are like a breath of fresh air to me, helping me to be free to enjoy art making. I’m immensely grateful to have come across you both and taken your courses. 🎉😊❤
Thank you for letting us taking part of this interesting and important conversation. so learning and including. I´ve taking part of both of your free courses and really liked them, even if I´ve been painting since the late 70..... You always need other voices and experiences for new challenges. Real joy and importance! Big thank you from Sweden.
Thanks for having Louise Fletcher on Art2Life. I really found the episode inspiring! Also, I loved watching you guys paint. Usually I listen to A2L in my car so I don’t get to see the visuals. I’m glad I watched on You Tube today.
This was so meaningful to me.
Profound gratitude to see you together!
Thank you, so very much!
Love this new format! A great start with my two favourite artists/teachers! Just loved listening to your honest conversation. Thankyou so much! ❤️
The two best teachers in this video 😍🙌 You are so precious. Thanks to you I started to seriously consider the possibility of dedicating myself to abstract art. I started watching your videos at the lowest moment of my life, during a crazy burnout that forced me to leave years of jobs far from my great passion for painting, ...thank you with all my heart ❤️ Monica, from Italy
Really loved watching and listening to you both talking and creating. It was beautiful to watch any nervousness and self-consciousness you had, just ebbed away as you began the process together, Louise. Bravo for practising what you preach and stepping out of so many comfort zones!
And Nick, this is the first podcast video I’ve watched - I’ll definitely have to watch them all from now on… whilst making a little bit of art of course!
Loved this episode. Two amazing artists sharing their stories. I've done their free courses and learnt so much but it was interesting hearing them talk about their journey and struggles. I've only been painting for a few years but listening to them chat has given me hope! I think it'd be a great idea to have newby artists on your podcasts (I listen to art2life and artjuice) - chatting about the journey to making art - covering the psychology, the practical and finding your style. Just a thought, I'd definitely listen to it and be up for it 🙂
I love this format, and you two are my favorite internet art superstars.
I enjoyed listening to you both. And i have also learned much from the both of you. Your a couple of my favorite people. Thank you both for all you share with us.
Louise, I found you on UA-cam back in 2020. You are the person who shared information about Art2Life and CVP, which has changed my life! I can finally call myself an artist without feeling like an imposter. 🥰
Really great podcast, and wonderful conversation. Listened/watched whilst painting in my studio and it was like being in the room with you both. Truly inspiring and uplifting! 😀
Love, love, love the new format Nick - thank you so much. It was a real treat to watch this one while painting and especially good timing in our CVP rest week.
It pays for itself by me being happy and you having free home time
Louise and Nick!❤️💪👩🏻🎨💪❤
❤️💪👨🎨💪❤️ My two most influential artists! My story is too long to explain but you have changed my life in SIGNIFICANT WAYS! I can’t thank you both enough for being real and willing to share your gifts and talents. I know what goes around comes around! May you be blessed for your generosity and sharing! Love you both and love your work! This type of podcast was Awesome! Love watching you create! You two are truly Amazing humans!! THANK YOU! 💋💋💋💋 Jalyne in Utah USA
So lovely to see you both together. ❤😊
Great format. Great to see you two together.
I appreciate your conversation.♥️
Great format! Thank you both for so generously sharing your art, thoughts, feelings and life! Love you both!
Loved this!!! Thanks a million for sharing your conversation and for reminding me of how good it is to make art together. 🤗
Wow this was so deep and good…this one hits home…is incredible yesterday and today I was exactly thinking about so many of the things you both shared here about life and how we do get to divide our life and try to make things that are
Not working in life ok even when we know is not and that brings those undermining subdivisions within ourselves (I don’t even know how to say this in English but I got totally this lesson and I appreciate both of you💞💞💞) I’m in CVP this year for the first time and I am going slowly, I’m totally enjoying it, I am learning so much but have struggled as well 😅 one thing I know… that the download day will come to me and to everyone wanting it as well 🌸🙏🏻 we need to keep creating, making art, playing and believing in ourselves and do this 💞 I wish you all the best 🌷thanks again Nick and Team
This was amazing. Two of my favorite artists!
I would have loved this to go for longer. Your conversation was intimate and engaging. Loved Louise's painting!
I am going to have to watch this again because I got so inspired to paint that I forgot to watch. Great show x
Fabulous to see you both together being creative and sharing your stories and process! thank you for all you give us so openly and generously, i have followed you both for some time now and what i have received, along with so many others through the years, has been invaluable. 🤩
So inspiring, thank you so much.
This is a very powerful program, so thoughtful and meaningful. Thanks for sharing such personal ways of thinking about art and life. During my working years, (I'm 83 now) I was a founder and the coordinator of a fabulous program in University Hospitals and Clinics, Columbia, Missouri, in which we presented changing art throughout the hospital for the pleasure of patients, staff and administration. It included a performance art program once every week in our beautiful main lobby, which featured a permanent bronze sculpture by artist, Larry Young. And, we featured art by staff once a year. We called the program ART FOR LIFE. It lived up to its name every day. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a teacher of The Zentangle Process and I found it through a kind of “download” and just in time because my anxiety-ridden teenaged granddaughter needed help during Covid and I was able to do ZOOM classes for her and her friends every week for almost two years when the schools were not able to offer any kind of art instruction… it helped me become a teacher and it helped others who needed focus during the pandemic… and now, I can call myself an artist AND a teacher because I found my way with patterns. Now I use both in watercolor and quilting just doing what is fun in my 80’s, making marks with color… being me.
@@SandyBanks-vk5dl BRAVO! .... art is a superb way to connect with your loved ones, always. 🥰❣
Watched this the other day and created new art. ❤
I've been waiting for this since Louise mentioned this. Love seeing you 2 together.
Wonderful ! My soul thanks you both! ❤
Very special...I needed that. Thank you!
Great interview, thank you both so much!
Happy to have found you both, few years apart and I’m looking forward to both your next workshop. Nora
It is soo nice to see you together, it feels like I know you quite well; you are stars in the art (also teaching) sky❤ and inspiring because you talk so frankly🧡💛💚
really enjoyed this one- while driving my semi through Indiana.
A wonderful podcast 😊
LOVE you BOTH
I love this format, thanks Nick and Louise! So fun watching you two paint and have a wonderful, transparent conversation.
I love your palette, Nick!
I am a Man but am the same way, I had four Sisters and a Mom and a brother growing up with absent Father .
My Father and brother were quite disconnected with feelings or at least expressing them , so I can really relate with my sisters much more because for me I feel deeply express deeply and it really is only through my art and horses can I truly express my self .
Love it!
Such a powerful conversation. Thank you both for your honesty ..
Such a wonderful surprise to come upon this episode this morning. I love you both, and as everyone has said, your generosity and enthusiasm for art has changed so many lives, including mine. I took both of Louise's classes, and because she spoke so highly of you, I'm in my second year of CVP. Watching you paint in your sketchbook is one of my favorite things. it has inspired me to paint everyday in mine, and I've practiced all the principles and lessons in a safe, nonjudgemental space. It's been a game changer. My sketchbook holds more important art and life information than any other book could ever hold. Saying thank you to both of you sounds inadequate...my gratitude overwhelms me.
What a great podcast. Both of you, in your generosity, gave me so much to ponder. Your unselfconscious delving into your own drives and realizations, give me the impetuous to check in with myself on a deep level and free up my being. Sketchbook practice is an inspiration. Thank you both so much.
What a joyful way to spend time together. Thanks for joining me in my studio today! xx
This was so great to watch. I appreciate each of you, you are both fabulous teachers! Thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and conversation. Thank you Nick.
❤ this!
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you. 🌿
Really enjoyed this interactive podcast… creating while talking or listening seems to take the judgement away and seems to incite authenticity…i only had a ball point pen but drew along with you and Louise… thanks
whoa what a treat just simply listening to you two (my 2 most respected artists,,,b/c you've taught me so much) thank you so so much Nick...l love this 'new' format to the podcast! Louise...I can;t wait to see your finished painting influenced by Taylor's song..that's just so cool really!
I loved this video ❤
I’m a new member of Louise’s Art Tribe and am loving it. So nice to hear this episode.
Bye to you both, and thanks.
How often do you have podcasts? Is there a URL where I can watch them all?
Louise are you using the same brush and just wiping it off with the paper towel?
Who was the artist she talked about widening with in California?
Bibby Gignilliat
