Is it too early to wrap up 2020? On the podcast Mom and I are discussing the lessons learned in 2020 and what we hope for 2021.
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.

I recently decluttered and rearranged my art room as well and now feel so much more inspired to go in there and spend time creating.

On the question of “authenticity” being valued in an artist: I would say YES! Not necessarily authentic to the moment of performance — you’re right that if you go to see a play or a concert, you want the performer to do just that, PERFORM. But I want the playwright or songwriter to have put something genuine and heartfelt into the creation. And in visual art, I’d so much rather see authentic Julie (or Dina or Seth) than Julie trying to mimic Dina or Seth.
