Part 1 Being an artist is hard sometimes but there’s not much else that Pamela loves to do more than to create art, except for talking about art with other artists. Specifically talking about how to be more productive, more authentic, more free, and braver; She really loves that. Pamela is the creator and facilitator of Strong Artist Life and a professional abstract painter pursuing my career as a fine artist. She knew she wanted to be an artist when she was in kindergarten and studied Fine Art in college. Pamela has created art her whole life and spent too much of her adult life working in the corporate world at the peril of her artistic productivity. Pamela spent most of her life in Houston and then became a bit of a vagabond for a few years moving from Texas to Wisconsin, to Washington, to Florida, to Michigan, and back to Florida. Over a year ago, she heard the call to create a supportive and authentic group for artists that would help them become stronger artists and better people. Pamela states "It's been a fantastic experience watching these artists grow in their confidence, their output, their quality, and into new aspects of their careers. Their growth and success have continued to fuel my own art and confidence to continue to grow as an artist and as a facilitator to other artists."

Belgian art dealer Gregoire Vogelsang, owner of the eponymous Vogelsang Gallery - a contemporary art gallery that is a fixture in the international art fair circuit and represents emerging and established artists - is also the founder of Cube Art Fair, a contemporary art fair launched in 2016 with editions in Brussels and New York. Amid COVID-19, Gregoire pivoted from his in-person art fair to a public art platform dedicated to bringing the artwork to the streets of cities, through hundreds of billboards, kiosks and murals in New York, Miami and Brussels. Critically acclaimed as The World’s Largest Public Art Fair, Cube Art Fair launched its first-ever NFT Art Fair last June on a 30-story billboard in Times Square. https://www.vogelsanggallery.com/   Join our community Daily Creative Habit!

Jim Rennert was born in 1958, and grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Salt Lake City, Utah. After 10 years of working in business Jim started sculpting in 1990. He became an expert in the lost-wax casting method, a process that harkens back to Bronze Age, which produces a duplicate metal sculpture from the original sculpture. He began exhibiting in galleries in 1993 and has since gained significant recognition. He continues to exhibit at the major art fairs in Miami, Los Angeles, and New York City, and has been featured in publications such as Sculptural Review, American Art Collector, and The Inquirer and Mirror. His work is in numerous private and public collections, including the Utah Governor’s Mansion, Terra Industries, GSL Electric, The Church Museum of History and Art, and the Granite Education Foundation. Rennert comes from a business background, having made the decision to pursue his career in sculpture over 20 years ago. His works deal with the physical or psychological challenges of the competitive corporate world, often incorporating figures dressed in business attire and symbolic objects such as briefcases and ladders. The titles work with the pieces to solidify the concepts, and sometimes they reflect on the daily struggles and achievements with a sense of humor and irony. His work has become more serious lately, exploring more on our thoughts and beliefs as a society. Businessman or not, everyone can still relate to the themes in their own personal ways.

Laura Jane Petelko is a Canadian photographic artist, currently based in Toronto, Canada. Having studied in Vancouver, Laura Jane began her career in the arts there in the early 2000’s. Petelko studied and worked as a master printer for west coast based photographic artists such as Harmony Korine, Kelly Wood, Roy Arden, and Mark Gilbert. Laura Jane was represented by Vancouver’s Third Avenue Gallery for several years before she moved back to Toronto. Currently, Laura Jane is evolving two bodies of work.

It was featured by Scope Fair Miami and New York in 2019 and in Blank Spaces magazine following her solo exhibition in Toronto in late 2019. Her photographs are characterized by their personal and intimate subject matter, often dealing with the nature of one’s identity and themes of transformation.

98. Creative Chat with Photographic Artist, Laura Jane Petelko

Who are the people in your life who can speak into you and the things you create? We all need a community, especially as creative people. It's not enough to go off in our proverbial cave to create in solitude. We need to create in the context of community. To borrow other people's eyes and ears. And to have opportunity to speak into their lives and art as well.  On this episode of Creative Chats, I share some thoughts on the role of creative community.   Join our free Facebook community - Daily Creative Habit www.DailyCreativeHabit.com  

97. The role of Creative Community

Creativity can be a lonely path. If we want to reach our full potential (and have a good time doing it), we Creatives need cheerleading and insights from our creative colleagues. In the Creative Chats podcast, I speak to some of the best Creatives around, about creativity and their process, and I share stories of Artists, Makers, and Content Creators. In fact, anything that will help you do your best work yet!
