<p><a href="https://art2life.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://Art2Life.com</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- I'm always trying to take time in my practice to experiment. It's always about figuring out what it is, or where I might go next. When I do, it's so satisfying. It reinvigorates my art-making. I love the idea of letting curiosity lead the way. What if your art was entirely experimenting? What if learning and curiosity were the primary informers of your art? How cool would that be? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meet Jaq Chartier. She is a Seattle-based artist fascinated by experimenting with pigments, dyes, and color. She explores how paint and stains behave in the moment and over time. Her art, consisting of catalog formal-like presentations of color tests, is beautifully offset by her saturated, soft, and hard-edged color stains. Her art is non-objective, but one can't help feeling the universality, the grand scale of the force of Nature in her gorgeous art. Join me now for this fascinating conversation with Jaq. I think it will make you rethink your relationship with experimentation and curiosity.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">================================</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN…</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Jaq Chartier found her art and the power of curiosity [2:18]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Removing our hands from the canvas and diving into discomfort [14:04]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bigness of Jaq's work and deciding which pieces make the cut  [20:06] </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mysterious force that is color and the role it plays in Jaq’s art practice [30:01]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating an art installation for Microsoft and working on a massive scale [38:20]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using curiosity and surprise as a roadmap for art-making and the ex
