 Creative Living with Jamie (episode 266): Interview with Jeanne Oliver What if good enough was perfect? What if you let yourself learn along the way? That's what artist and designer Jeanne Oliver did as she rediscovered her creative self and built an authentic creative business. Jeanne is married to her dream maker, Kelly, and the mother to three funny and creative kiddos. She home schools her children even though she has tried to get out of it a few times. You can often find her hiking in her state of Colorado, making creative messes in her studio and finding an excuse to have another cup of coffee. She speaks and teaches all around the country and sometimes she even gets to cross the pond. She was told that she needed to find that one thing but she doesn’t like listening to directions so she embraces many loves and that has given her a sweet mash up of family, art, teaching and design. Connecting with women and sharing that each of us has been creatively made is one of her passions.

 Creative Living with Jamie (episode 264): Interview with Mario Andres Robinson How do you pour love into a  painting? That's the impossible question I asked artist Mario A. Robinson after his portraits made me cry. I'm delighted he was willing to answer this question and many more on Creative Living with Jamie. Mario studied at the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Early in his development, he began looking to the great masters for inspiration and technical insight. An avid student of realism, he studied the elemental principles of painting by exploring the work and technique of Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Degas. However, it was the work of 19th and 20th century American artists that provided Robinson with the strongest stylistic foundation, helping him forge and define his own artistic sensibility.
