In this episode, Nancy Macdonald joins me to talk about art, and the connection and impact between the art we make and our learning experiences.
“When one teaches, two learn”. This quote by Robert Heinlein so beautifully highlights a key takeaway from my conversation with Nancy. Being open to learning and remaining curious, as a teacher and as a learner, can lead to so many beautiful experiences and opportunities to grow. I love how Nancy describes her art studio as a lab for life and how she shares her story of evolving and pivoting her business – which started over 20 years ago around her kitchen table.

Do you remember being a child and wishing that you had had the chance to take a specific class or learn a new skill but time just ran out and that opportunity never seemed to surface? Today we were talking with Nancy MacDonald, who is the owner of the “Art Studio For Children” and we talk about how the classes she runs are really for people of all ages. Her focus is to help her students develop skills that they didn’t even know that they had, and take pride in the work that they create.
