On today's podcast we're talking to Carolyn Dube about Art Sparks, the fact that there's no one right answer, her former life experimenting with pizza dough, being the ugly butterfly, and so much more!
If you do not see the podcast player above, please click on this link. On the off chance that you've never listened to a podcast or don't get why anybody would want to, here are some facts: (1) Podcasts are convenient. It's a recording that is available to you whenever and wherever you'd like to listen. You can pause, stop, start, fast forward, and rewind. Stream it through Apple Music or any podcast service. (2) Podcasts are great for listening to while making art. They provide intellectual stimulation and create a bit of company (like hanging out with friends) without the visual distraction of the TV. (3) Podcasts can inspire and educate you. I often find myself jotting down notes when I listen to a podcast. There's so much I want to remember.

This was great to listen to! I have been one of the beneficiaries of Carolyn’s Rediscovering Your Creativity Facebook Group. It has helped me be more confident in my art-making and pushed me to try new things. And Julie, you have also influenced me to put another layer on it! Thank you!!

I’ve loved every minute of this podcast. You and Carolyn are both at the top of my list of favorite teachers. I learn about art and life from both of you. You both are engaging, supportive, encouraging teachers. I enjoy your classes, your emails and your YouTube (and other) demonstrations.
What a treat to hear you together. And Carolyn, I had no idea about your experiments with pizza dough! Not surprising to hear of your “scientific exploration” process with the dough — similar to your exploration and experimenting with colors, layers and shapes. (It’s because you already understand the science of color that your explorations go so ell and that your OOPSes lead you to new discoveries.
I enjoying knowing your families, as well. Thank you both for generously sharing your love of art with me.
