Hi and welcome to Art Juice this is honest, generous and humorous

conversations to feed your creative soul and get you thinking with me

Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan and I'm on my third attempt to

start in this podcast so I'm not gonna ramble I'll introduce what the main topic is

when we get to it first of all what have you been up to this week Alice?

It's been another nice gentle week like I said previously I've got various admin

things going on working behind the scenes which I'm actually enjoying a very different pace of and I think that's going to

Come into our discussion with what we're going to be talking about further on this week this kind of how you work with different things going on in your life.

And in the past, I have often been in a state where I have been, if I've been doing one thing thing I've been feeling guilty about not doing

something else which is something that I think I should be doing so right now I'm in a

space where I am not working creatively I do want to get back to it next week, but for the last few weeks I haven't been and previously I would have felt guilty there would be a whole load of shoulds who am I if I'm not even doing it on a regular basis and I'm not feeling any of that at the moment.

I'm just enjoying what I've been working on and letting it take the time it's going to take.

So I've been doing things that I don't need to share with you. I have been also looking

after parents and yesterday I went to an all day business event run by somebody totally unconnected and it was close by to me and I like doing those kind of things because they stimulate me in different ways.

So that is what I have been doing this week.

Oh, busy busy busy busy. Well, although it doesn't feel busy, it's felt very gentle and I've enjoyed that, that's kind of what I'm saying. Yeah, it's nice.

Have you been to your exhibition? Have you been looked at the exhibition in person yet?

No, because it opened when I was away on holiday and so I haven't been yet and I was discussing with the gallery owner and she said if we do, she was a bit concerned about doing an artist talk that it would be too condensed.

So what we've agreed on is a day next weekend, so that's Saturday the 19th of October from 11 to 3 p.m I will be there all that day for people to drop in

See have conversations I've had some lovely feedbacks and comments from people who've been in and seen the work in person.

But if you want to be there at a time, I'm there and you can get to Newnem on 7, which is a lovely, I've not been yet, but it sounds a lovely village in kind of Gloucestershire, Cotswolds area.

Then you can come and meet me there and if you live up north in London you can come and see me at Manchester
