I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!
If you do not see the player above, please follow the instructions in this post. You can listen to a podcast anywhere and at any time. It is a recording that is available to you whenever you'd like to listen. If you'd like to download it to your iTunes library, click here. You can also pause and rewind or fast forward as you desire. I like to listen to podcasts while I'm making art. It's a little like hanging out with friends while you art.
Today's guest is me! (Due to a personal matter, our guest for today's podcast was not able to make it. So, I ended up being the guest instead.) I'm going to give myself the full guest treatment with a headshot, bio, and some images of my work:
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is a mixed media collage artist. She has been making art for as long as she can remember and loves the process of creating. “I believe that mistakes are creative opportunities and hold fast to the notion that enjoyment of the process is just as important as the finished product! I like to think outside of the box — experimenting with paper, paint, and fabric — always trying to find a way to push my supplies further and see all the possibilities.”
Julie has had artwork and articles published in many magazines including Cloth Paper Scissors, CPS Pages, CPS Studios, Quilting Arts Gifts, Quilt Scene, Creating Keepsakes, Better Homes & Gardens’ Scrapbooks Etc., Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends, Somerset Memories, Somerset Digital, scrapbooking m.m. (Sweden), Scrap Art Zine (Germany), Scrapbooking & Beyond, Simple Scrapbooks, Histoires de Pages (France), books by Leisure Arts, F&W Publications, and Lark, as well as multiple e-zines. She writes the "Adventures in Arting" column for Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine.
Julie is the co-host of Scrapbook Soup TV (PBS) and has appeared several times on Quilting Arts TV (PBS) and hosted the “Artist to Artist” segment on Scrapbook Memories TV (PBS). She has also appeared on Crafting at The Spotted Canary (PBS). Julie’s hour-long instructional DVD “Collage Fast & Furious” was released in July 2010 by Interweave. She released two new hour-long instructional DVDs in 2012: All About Faces and Stamp-Making Adventures.
Julie's yet-to-be-titled book on stamp carving will be released by Interweave Press in Fall 2013.
Julie designs stencils for The Crafter's Workshop, stamps for Impression Obsession, and has several other products in the works with other companies.
Julie lives in a tiny apartment with a big art studio in the middle of New York City. She is a graduate of Brown University.
On today's podcast we talk about my career trajectory, where I hope the craft industry will go, and my teaching philosophy. I hope you'll give the podcast a listen! And be sure to leave any comments or questions in the comments section. I know that Mom and I love hearing from you!
Thanks for stopping by!

I loved it! I’ve been following you for a really long time, and it’s really impressive to watch you grow! I really enjoy your approach to business/teaching/art, and it was a pleasure listening to you! Thanks (as your mother said..) for sharing so much with us!

Oo, I can’t wait. Wish I could listen now! I remember seeing your work in Creative Keepsakes and being so excited by the possibilities you inspired with your paint, freedom, brilliant color and strong voice. Loved your style from the beginning and am blown away by your portraits now and all of your stencil and stamp designs.

Enjoyed the podcast. Lots to think about in regard to being yourself in your art and finding what is truly “you”. I’ve always been one who tried to copy something someone else did because it was pleasing to me, but to find my own style that I could be pleased with, is something to work toward. As the mother of a music artist, we are your best cheerleaders, but always marvel at what our children accomplish. Sounds like your Mom is no different. Great “Dynamic Duo”.

Great show! I love the interplay between you and your Mom — hi, Julie’s Mom. 🙂
One of your points really rang true to my ears as I was listening on my commute this morning — the concept that being an artist means being facile at creating realistic art. I have definitely had similar thoughts. Realistic art is wonderful, but so are other styles!
I’m looking forward to signing up for your color mixing class soon. I love the modular nature of the classes — easy to pick and choose (and fit into one’s monthly crafting budget, too!)

Hi Julie! I just listened to your podcast – and I’m so glad that you were the “topic” today! Now, I will have to download the rest of your other podcasts. I, too, never thought that I could be an “artist” because I couldn’t draw! Finally, at age 60, I took my first painting class, and 5 years later, I’ve done so much art, sometimes it just makes me shake my head. I signed up for your Gelli Art Class, and am looking forward to it. Thanks again for reaffirming that anyone can become an artist!

Really loved this interview of you, Julie! You continue to be one of my inspirational all-stars! I really value your teachings and your teaching style. I would love to hear more, from you and from your other guests, about finding authenticity. Are there exercises you can suggest or a class I could take that could offer a guided exploration? I know it when I feel it, but often I find it difficult to tap into.

First of all, your mom is a hoot! Loved her comment about you, the fetus. LOL. I really know you are a good teacher, even tho I don’t live remotely close enough to ever take a live class, because of your comment about having to be a student to be a good teacher. So true! I related to my students all the time when they were having difficulties because I had just been through the same thing a few years earlier. You are very introspective and self-analytic and it shows in so many of the things you are growing toward and excelling at. I love listening to you and hope so many others are benefiting as much as I am.

I often listen to your podcasts while I am doing dinner prep as it makes it more interesting for me to hang in my kitchen ;=) I just love all that you share on your podcasts. YOu bring the intellectual side to making, viewing, studying art. I just love how evolved your mom! She has wonderfully emotionally mature responses to your comments that can often make a parent or person feel defensive. There are so many things I love about you both. One of the things I love about your mom is her ability to support you emotionally while tickling out your authentic self to dream, to explore possibilities. I just love your podcasts. I look forward to them so much and am always left wanting more. Thank you for all that you do and all that you share on so many levels. I find your podcasts so helpful. I have decided to look into bullet journals as a way to better organize my life. Thank you!!
