ArtLife Conversations with a kick…

Provocative. Irreverent. With love.

Whether it’s a highball cocktail or lowball mocktail, Curiosity Cocktails dives into the ArtLife with juicy podcast conversations of unflinching curiosity!

With your host…

I LOVE exploring how artists find their creative aliveness as they talk to me about owing their value and trusting their path…
minus the pressure of performance or perfection.

From my ArtLife interviews, I’ll share stories, insights and pathways for staying connected, on your creative journey, to the visionary fire of your CreativeSelf.

As your guest, I’ll cut through surface-level advice to share psychological insights about artists and the ArtLife with unflinching depth.

Whether you’re hosting a podcast, planning a workshop, or organizing an event, I refuse to oversimplify the creative life while reveling in irreverent wisdom, deep pattern recognition, and practical pathways for artists ready to own their value and trust their path.

What makes me different… besides speaking my mind?

  • 24 years coaching artists – I understand where they get stuck and why.
  • I wrote THE book on Artist Statements – Writing the Artist Statement: Revealing the True Spirit of Your Work, trailblazing the definition of an artist statement, and its potential, powerful impact on viewers who read, then look again at artwork.
  • I pioneered the smARTist Telesummit, the first professional-development conference for artists (60+ speakers, 6 years), challenging artists to step into the dismissed art-career arena–now a mainstream reality.
  • Cutting through the myths around artists – I relish debunking the romantic nonsense about “tortured” or “starving artists.”
  • My Visionary Fire Mandate – I work with artists to turn uncertainty, doubts, and confusion into their fiery, creative gold.
  • Unflinching curiosity about one’s ArtLife – If there’s an ArtLife dynamic in need of scrutiny, I’m leaning in…
