Episode 001 Introducing us

Debbie and I decided to create a podcast 'Art Alchemy' where we openly discuss the ups and downs of following a creative path. We hope to inspire you, our listeners, to embrace your own creativity, seek authentic expression and have fun with the creative process. We both have a shared interest in the creative mindset and the creative process in art as well as life, and believe this is available to everyone.
This episode introduces us, exploring the artistic journeys we both experienced. We share our paths into the art world, the challenges we face, and insights on creativity. We believe creativity has health benefits and in this episode we share how it’s helped us with personal growth.
This podcast is intended for everyone who wants to enjoy art in their lives, whether it's a hobby or full time profession.
Art, in whatever form, should be something that is within reach of all of us and we think embracing creativity and cultivating a creative mind is the first step to transforming your life through art.
Let us know what you think and please leave your suggestions on what you'd like us to chat about?
