Susan Taylor Brown is a fiber artist who creates highly textural art to be experienced not just with the eyes, but with the hands. Nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains of California, she draws deep inspiration from the natural world, translating the untamed beauty of her surroundings into her signature Wildscapesāminiature, tactile landscapes that make you want to shrink down and walk barefoot across the fields and hills.
Susanās work is all about texture. She begins each Wildscape with hundreds of French knots, using hand-dyed wool yarn and other fibers to create pieces you canāt help but want to touch. For her, it's not just about how the art looks but how it feels. Each piece offers a moment of calm, inviting people to pause and reconnect with nature in a way that feels grounding and peaceful, reflecting Susan's belief in the healing power of the natural world.
As a self-taught artist, Susan is driven by intuition, experimentation, and play, letting each piece evolve naturally, much like the landscapes she seeks to honor. She hopes to inspire others to embrace their creativity and find peace in the interconnectedness of nature. For Susan, creativity is all about following your instincts and finding joy in the process.

In this episode of the Paint Talks Podcast, Dionne Woods and Christy Skinner chat about trusting your creative nudge.
Christy has grown through Intentional Creativity painting processes which have allowed her to deeply see herself in a different light and to grow a better sense of self-acceptance which strengthens many personal aspects.

With just a little work we can gain much insight, clarity, and confidence that we can take into all aspects of our lives. Creating our lives as we choose.

Fun Facts: I have a terrible singing voice, but I never hesitate to belt out a song on a Karaoke machine. My Great Grandmother called me "Good Time Charlie" (someone who is the life of the party). I have never met a stranger; honestly, I am a party of one. Life is one big adventure for me, and I am here to enjoy it all.
If music plays with a good beat, my body takes over and starts to dance, even in public at the grocery store (but I try to keep it under control).
I met and got engaged to my husband of 31 years after only spending about five days together. It was love at first sight.
I can eat an Ice Cream Sundae 12" tall and finish my husband's. And walk away feeling fine. My body can absorb ridiculous amounts of Ice Cream (I only do this about twice a year).
I love to go dumpster diving, like some people love thrifting. I am never tired of hunting down free stuff that people throw out. I am not above ripping open garbage bags if I think there is something worth getting out of it. And yes, that's gross. LOL.

Lisa Worley was born in upstate New York. Growing up, her mother was an interior designer and Faux finisher and Lisa would go to job sites with her and help her while getting hands-on experience. Thatās where her passion for art and interior design began.
Lisa has been a Master Faux Finisher for over 25 years. She studied abroad throughout Italy to learn the old master's techniques of a decorative faux finish. Lisa also studied the art of finishing with several well-respected artists in the industry from Gary Lord to Martin Allen Hirsch.
In the late 90s, Lisa became a distributor and instructor for Faux Effects international and taught classes at her studio. A couple of years later, she went to a local college and studied interior design. One of her favorite things she learned in interior design was the theory of color. That made all the difference in the world for her. It opened her eyes to the endless possibilities of color combinations.
Lisaās business is very labor intensive. At 53, climbing on scaffolding and ladders over the years is starting to take a toll on certain parts of her body, but has inspired her to reinvent herself and her business.

Dionne Woods talks with Sarah Berry on the Paint Talks Podcast. Sarah is an entrepreneur, CEO, volunteer, and a support staff to her husbandās small business. But those are her official titles. The most important names she goes by are āmom, wife, daughter, sister," and "friend.ā
The most challenging, yet rewarding, capacity she has worked in, (just behind motherhood!), has been that of self-employment. Although she has had an entrepreneurial āsparkā most of her life, she officially started her small business journey in January 2014, with absolutely no clue what she was doing! Practically by accident, she turned a recipe of elbow grease, blind faith, and a lot of late-night coffee-infused work sessions, into a thriving creative business.
Though the roots of her business began with creating handmade goods, encouraging people to finally take action on the little voice that has been nudging them to ādo something more,ā is what really gets her going! There is a need for what we ALL have to offer, and in helping people bring a little beauty and creativity back into their lives, she hopes to inspire others to finally take the leap on their own dreams! Life it too short and too amazing to let it pass without taking a chance on yourself, and Sarah is like the best biz buddy you never knew you needed....until now!!
Upcoming Events: Sarah is getting ready to launch a mini course about starting a business from your own kitchen table like she did 10 years ago! You can visit www.SarahBerryandCo.com for more information about how to get signed up. She has also just celebrated recently being published in Better Home and Gardens "Holiday Crafts" magazine for two years running, not to mention her most recent feature in "The Turquois Iris Journal!" So many reasons to celebrate!
