How Breakthroughs Occur - Marjorie Thompson - Ep 13
Art2Life - A podcast by Nicholas Wilton - Wednesdays
https://Art2Life.com - What does it look like to have a creative breakthrough? How do we get to the next level in our art-making? The artist's journey can be a long one. It can feel uneven and effortful, especially in the beginning. After coaching thousands of artists I’ve noticed that breakthroughs tend to happen when someone’s art starts to look like them and becomes truly connected to their inspiration. I met Marjorie Thompson as a part of the Creative Visionary Program I ran in 2020. Her art improved considerably but recently I noticed something else. It took an even bigger dramatic shift into breakthrough territory. I had to chat with her about it. Has she noticed the change? How did she achieve this? My hope is that as you listen to our conversation, you might begin to understand a little more about breakthroughs and how they occur. They are waiting in the wings for all of us. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Diving into Marjorie’s background and the impact of growing up in her father’s art studio [3:35] How Marjorie captures the feeling of nature in her artwork [8:30] Breaking out of “creative famines” and Marjorie's journey through the art world [13:58] Exploring Marjorie’s creative process and how she creates balance in her paintings [18:22] Identifying the creative struggle and how to maintain momentum [26:12] How Marjorie keeps her creative fire stoked and the logistics of her art-making [31:44] ================================= CONNECT WITH MARJORIE THOMPSON Website: https://www.marjoriethompsonart.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marjoriethompsonart/?hl=en ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON: Facebook: https://facebook.com/art2lifeworld/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/art2life_world/ Join the Art2Life Artists' List and get the Sunday vlog here: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/
