🌎💻🎯⚡️Art n' Talk
Hi! Leslie Sue here, founder & host of Art n' Talk! I began this online promotional interviewing platform for professional artists and those that represent professional artists to provide a missing element that I perceived. This missing element is "knowledge." Knowledge of the artist. Through our art conversations, artists communicate their artistic vision, processes, and approaches that serve to educate. This knowledge and education provides the general public, viewers, potential clients, and the like to a greater nexus point connected to a given artist, their creative endeavors, and serves to provide a deeper knowledge base of what art is and what art can be. This art knowledge is of great benefit to any professional practicing artist hoping to make a living from their creative work, and or continue to make a living for established artists particularly when new exciting changes and developments are taking place in their art journey, as well as those who represent artists and aim to educate and celebrate a given artist (s) work in a collection or gallery space.
Art n' Talk video archives include art business owners, visual artists, musicians, writers, authors, poets, novelists, dance studio owners, photographers, sculptors, 2d & 3d artwork, textiles, and more! What a great honor it has been and continues to be for me to connect with, interview, and share conversation with such amazing artists! My gratitude extends to the many artists I have had the privilege to interview and those that I will! Thank you for this opportunity!
Although initially a communications major, my undergraduate studies lead me to receive a BS in psychology. The human mind with all its functions, attributes, and networks are and have been of great interest. Consciousness and unconscious processes, mental faculties, and manifestations of the mind are gratifying subjects for me to dive deeper into.
Graduate studies moved me in a visual art direction and to receive a master's degree in fine art. A lifelong love of all the arts has always been present in my life and continues. Along with the visual arts, I enjoy blogging my original poetry, devotionals, alongside my digital art. I spent many years photographing weddings, pets, family, and children combined with designing albums and professional fully edited images. My background also includes teaching art in both the public and private school system.
Volunteer work has included involvement in children's ministry and devoting time to photograph pet events for adoption purposes combined with digital artwork of pets ready for a forever home.
Leading groups at my local church in Spartanburg, SC in the visual arts and in poetry techniques and styles has been a great honor and learning experience.
With a fervent devotion to my spiritual growth, inclusive of 30 plus years of meditation practice, I found myself with a desire to help individuals and groups learn how to quiet the mind, access inner stillness, cultivate mindfulness, and to focus on self knowledge as part of a health & wellness initiative. Through my Impact Meditation classes, in~person and online, I have found another purposeful road to connect with and guide those interested in aligning with their highest potential through mantra based ~ sound vibration ~ techniques that I offer in my meditation classes. Intentions and direct experience include the mind at a state of peace, emptying out, while allowing silence to dominant through my meditation classes. This gateway provides access to inner wisdom, joy, self discovery, and healing. Classes run 75 minutes and are $50.00 per class. Scheduling and questions can be directed via email at impactmeditation@gmail.com
I truly hope that you find meaningful connection, knowledge, tools to innovate, fruits that inspire, troubleshooting potentials to life's complexities into manageable solutions, and more by learning about artists and their artwork!
