117 - back again!

Oh heck we’re a bit rusty. Where’s Gaynor’s microphone? Has Karen got her podcast cough back? We’re having a bit of a jiggle up, here; diving deeper into things… slightly more structured schedule, making time for little breaks throughout the year. So do hit the subscribe button on whichever platform you listen to Artchatter on, it’s easier than marking your calendar! January for Karen and Gaynor has been about gently unfolding a little, doing some clearing, editing, considering. We’re not rushing into decisions, doing or making. However, we’ve both chosen a word for the year and are stepping gently into our hopes and dreams, beginning by letting go of the stuff we no longer need. Oh and did we mention… second place in pod of the year? *still giddy*Now, as always, we invite you to tell us how your January has been, there’s lots more to chat about. Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last four and a half years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen’s Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor’s emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo by Jo Hounsome PhotographyJo McCarthy https://jomccarthy.comJen MickDay Count AppWomen’s Business Club https://womensbusiness.club/awards@karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcastArtchatter: Podcast of the Year Award Runner UpWomen’s Business Awards 2025 https://womensbusiness.club/awards⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing lessons and experiences of the ups and downs of living their best artist lives.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree
