Exactly the talk I needed! I was also thinking about throwing it all away. Maybe I'll do a deep clean and inventory first! 😆 Love your videos, and your beautiful art. Happy 2025!

The mug is so pretty❤ and the artwork😍

🎨🖌👋😃

Oh wow! Congrats on getting that gig! You deserve it!

SHUT UP!!! It’s huge and gorgeous! Congratulations!

Wow I LOVE THIS!!!!!! How bright and cheerful and wonderful and awesome!?! Excellent installation Fiona x

I love this presentation, the focus is on your lovely art.

Woow...looks amazing!! Congratulations❤️people are so lucky there to see it🎉

You're killing it with the inspo this new year & its so appreciated! You're a great cheerleader to all of us creatives. I've found the first book you talked about on thriftbooks & plan on ordering a copy. Also, I spy "Trespass" on your shelf..always inspo for this gal.

Man love your designs. What black underglaze do you use and do you do multiple coats? It’s so lovely and solid.

For anyone else in the UK, I love to buy art books from the wonderfully-named Books About Art. They often have copies with a mark on the cover or some other imperfection, for much cheaper. Plus they're just a nice small business. :) Thank you for this tour, lots of great inspiration!

The vessels you made are so beautiful. It’s nice that you can collaborate with your mom ❤

I love documentaries. Recently, I have been watching some videos about John Singer Sargent and that has inspired me to take a new direction with my work. Thank you for inspiring us, Fiona. If people only created for money, much of that work would not be in museums.

Looking for the speaker at the Morris Museum and I don’t see it on the website. What am I missing?

What a great collection! I love using art books as inspiration for my own work. Taking an artist’s piece or collection and really zooming in on their techniques or marks, trying them in my own sketchbook. Klimt is one of my favourites to study. I feel very lucky that my collection of art books are courtesy of my job at a publishing company who has many long and storied relationships with galleries around Canada. We publish at least 4 art catalogues a year in a variety of art styles. I have quite a collection. ☺️

Hi Fiona, Dream in Color is my favorite! I am going to get it! Happy you are sharing your knowledge and books with us! Have a beautiful day!

I love the inspiration.

I love art books and enjoyed seeing yours. You are right that art books are crazy expensive. I’ve been enjoying buying them from Thrift books or Abe books at a huge discount. I’ve also found that as our libraries transfer over to more digital media and less physical books the often put their art books in the friends of the library sales. There are so many ways to pick them up at bargain prices I’m afraid they may outgrow my studio soon 😊

Exactly!!! Thank you for communicating this!

Love your collection!!!! Sooo inspired to get some of these books! #hooked😍😍😍😍😍😍

Im sure zelda was a husky in a former life, love that girl & i bet shes been a ray of light with all that you have going through over these past few months .

That blue handle vase had a hint of Georgia O'Keeffe to it ( reminded me of ovaries & uterus for some reason). Saying goodbye to your spaces must of been really emotional for you.. ive got to say im surprised at how young most of the crowds are at renegade. Great to have youthful people interested in art & craft markets.

Great job on Christmas chalet, but I could tell it was starting to take it's toll on you or was that just the celebrations lol . Excellent news on the signing of the house sale to fiona , now the new chapter really begins so get out there & embrace every good thing that comes your way! Love from Australia xo

Hola Fiona, love your work 💕 I wanted to share a simple treatment for migraine, these are ice water compresses, you put them on the forehead, eyes, temples and on the nack neck, alternately and continuously until the pain decreases, I hope it is useful ❤

Happy new year Fiona, sorry I'm playing catch up a little late, hope you & zelda had a wonderful Christmas

i got out of drawing for so long, that now i am no longer as good as i was. so its harder to see my vision. i consider myself to be an artist. but pretty much all the art comes out opposite from what is in my head. i never really learned fundamentals. i just always had a certain way of drawing and was good. Now none of that is true really. Things just dont magically flow and somehow be correct. So i am stuck at the beginning i think. and also questioning if i am an artist because my vision won't come out.

Love this video! Can't wait for Donna Payton's exhibit that opens at the Monmouth Museum this weekend! 😊

Great tips! I hope I can find a new friend like you as I've moved to a new town recently. Thinking of starting a meet up for casual art making at my house so I can meet other artists. New subscriber!

Great message thank you!!!

Fiona, hi. Please, tell me what kind of paint u use in your outdoor projects? Latex or acrylic?

Im a creative artist with design tendencies haha and I need to express my creativity

This was really interesting, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea that I needed to hear this❤

What is THE largest art supply shop in the world I wonder?

26:05 drawing pen pals

13:30 Aww, Zelda is so cute. 🥰

11:30 I had no idea that corgis love snow. 😍👍

2:20 Yes! The same is true for writers of all skill levels: If you write, you are a writer. If you write a novel, you are a novelist, even if you never share or publish it! Write poems? You're a poet! Publishing and selling your work is something completely different. You can be an artist AND a business owner, but you don't have to be one to be the other. ❤😍

At the moment, my two favorites are pilot pens for fine lines, along with Sharpie no bleed pens in black for capital letters, and the Sharpie "creative marker" that are "paint like" brush pens. I love Golden acrylic paint, but I'm more likely to pick up my box of brush pens than fiddle with setting up and cleaning up a painting project. I bought two sets of COPIC alcohol markers a couple years ago, and did some great doodles with them that first month, but rarely use them. I'm a writer who likes to art a little, but I love watching full time artists talk about their craft and supplies! ❤👍

Thank you ! 🩷💕🥰

What a beautiful story about collaborating with your mother <3

I was on Myspace to meet women. LOL Good insights! Thanks for sharing. SUB'd.

Fiona, your video make me happy, thank u, and wish u good luck and be strong in any situation. From Russia with love!

You are so on point💖

You just made me clean my house. 😂😂😂😂 seriously though. Thank you for the pep talk we all didn’t know (or maybe we did?) we needed! I love you girl! ❤❤❤

The pep talk i didn't i think need, very essential. Thank you 🙏

This one is definitely a winner. Thank you! I'm off to clean up my studio as we are resetting the house for a more calm & easy to maneuver 2025 (where we can help it atleast!).

Is an Artist and a Creative the same thing? I make art everyday as a practice of being creative. I have no desire to sell. I only make it for creating and getting others involved in the process of reconnecting with themselves and creating too. For me an Artist is a person who is dedicated to their craft, getting better at that medium every single day. Honing it to that 10K hours in Mastery. Often on just one thing or one simple idea done over and over and over again. For me a Creative, is a person who looks for multiple vehicles to express themselves. Maybe it's art, and in that medium it's many things. Or maybe cooking, gardening, problem solving in their business or even organizing may be the creative process. All these are creative acts, that have some artistic flair about them and that person may even be an ARTIST. Though for me at the core, an Artist is that person who has 10K hours in mastery. It can be in any field and that person I consider an Artist/Master in their craft. I would love to hear your feedback and what your thoughts are. I always appreciate expansive conversations. Great video BTW, going to share this with some folks who I know are Artist's. I know that because their whole livelihood is based on what they create. That too for me is a solid artist. Thanks for a brilliant intelligent and very cogent delivery. I always appreciate great insight and perspective.🧡✨🧡

Thank you for your pep talk today. I live in a small town and I have sold several pcs of art but I feel like I can't keep creating if I'm not selling. I need to refocus and decide what's next for me.
