I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!
If you do not see the podcast player above, please click on this link. 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.
We have a guest on today's podcast! Our guest is Suzanne Sicuranza.
Suzanne was born and raised in Massachusetts.
She has worked in scientific fields for almost 20 years. She also worked at Michaels for 2 years — as a custom framer and go-to art expert — and for Balzer Designs for almost 1 whole year.
Suzanne is a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher)…
…as well as a self-described: Curator of Arty Knowledge, Online Class Junkie, Blog Reader Aficionado, and Supply Collector (okay….maybe hoarder).
She says, "What I love, seems to defines me. Purple, owls…
…hoodies, doodling, laughing, quotes/lyrics…
…circles, Instagram, Patriots, nail polish, YouTube, music (mostly less-known), calendars (I already have 5 for 2017), Pinterest, storage stuff (The Container Store is just as fun as going to Blick), and T-shirts that represent any of all of the above."

Oh my goodness, this podcast is so wonderful. It covered so many thoughts I have been having lately about art. For example…there is nothing new. I watched a video this week where an artist thought they discovered using alcohol ink on glossy photo paper. I tried this technique years ago and forgot about it. You are so real and so hones. Julie, I just love you and the work you share and foster..

Hope my first comment did not sound snooty, that was not my intent. Rather I meant that sometimes I am so intimidated worried about copying someone’s work and I realized that in today’s art environment, there really isn’t anything new, just varied interpretations and a tweak here and a tweak there. Made me feel much better and I am going to work more with the attitude that I am on an adventure.

Just had a chance to listen to your podcast and I loved getting to meet Suzanne – looks like it is a perfect match. And just caught up and subscribed to YouTube Vlog – sorry about the loss of your grandmother. Love everything you do – you are an inspiration!! Watched your periscope this morning – I have a junque journal (made it from your on-line class) and I have plenty of pieces of painted deli paper – I have work to do!!!

I enjoyed listening to the three of you, and the good-natured conversation! Suzanne, not only am I crazy about owls, but *love* birds in general, welcoming them to our backyard year round. Interesting perspective Julie about making art, selecting and purchasing supplies, and organizing the space, yielding creative success. It all does make me happy!
Thank you Suzanne for being a member of this podcast, we are now able to know you a little bit better.
