Art Alchemy : Authentic Conversations on Art and Cultivating a Creative Mind

Welcome to Art Alchemy, authentic conversations on art and cultivating a creative mind. We, Ruth Egon and Debbie Chatfield, are both UK based nature inspired contemporary artists. Why is it that one piece of art is loved by one person but another simply doesn't understand it. We connect to art in a similar way to how we connect to people, some we understand, others not so much. Art is an expression of who we are so maybe that is why? Examples of topics include... 'Is Talent a Myth?', 'Why use a Sketchbook?', 'Carving Out Time', 'The Artistic Process' and 'Is Art Good for Your Health?'
