Creating - Susan Melrath and Ferris Martinez - Ep 40

https://Art2Life.com - What does it mean to be an artist? Some say it’s one’s education or creative prowess. Others reserve that title for those who can make a living from their art. Yet, when we look at the nature of art and creativity, it feels so much bigger than the definition a single perspective can provide. Join us for a special conversation between Art2Life team members Susan Melrath and Ferris Martinez as they discuss Ferris’ art practice of both music and painting, how art movements throughout history have shaped our perception of creativity, and why artistry is more of a universal concept than we think. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… The multi-disciplinary art-making of Ferris Martinez, growing up with creativity, and the accessibility of music [4:02] The evolution of Western art throughout history and how art enriches our lives [10:33]  The influence of upbringing on art-making and the art in everything [21:32] NFTs, elitism, and the current direction of the art world [25:19]  Navigating a music career during the pandemic and how limitation inspires creativity [33:06] Bringing narrative into painted portraits [42:51] ================================ CONNECT WITH SUSAN MELRATH AND FERRIS MARTINEZ Susan Melrath’s website: http://www.susanmelrath.com/  Ferris Martinez’s website: https://www.ferrismartinez.com/  Follow Susan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanmelrath  Follow Ferris on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_ferrism_/  Check out Ferris Martinez on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dd9L4zlL62jTIjDS4NgOA  ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/art2lifeworld  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8dJWKgPKkW4W3fsb1vLeg
