Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B
Join Carolyn Botelho as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Second Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season has been launched, take a peak!
If you know of anyone who would like to have an interview on their creative practice send me an email at: creativelythinking.blog@gmail.com. This is the best compliment you can give us, and keeps the creative discussion moving and growing. Changing and influencing others to share and propel inspiration forward.

Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B +
Listen to our full podcastAs a Korean Canadian Artist Christine Kim lives and works as an Artist and Arts Educator North of Toronto. Drawing her entire life, she crystalizes her digital and analogue modes of operation into intricate gestures. Understanding the stars as narratives, weaved on threads by storytellers throughout the years. Christine traces the lines from these structures, collects these stars; while inventing her own imaginary constellations and narratives in paper portraiture.
Examining the surface, shape and volume of concealing and revealing the figure; Kim incorporates the interplay of layers and shadows. While the viewer is shown glimpses of calmness, fragility and quiet. Working with watercolour washes, thick paper cutouts, both loose, loud, and meticulous. Kim creates exciting challenging puzzles that need to be solved in her large scale installations.
Join Carolyn Botelho as we discuss Christine's fluid practice, how it blurs the lines of professionalism, and what her paper orbs emerged as one sleepless October evening. What does her teaching art brings to her creativity? How she plays off extremes, what participating in Nuit Blanche is really like? And everything in between her multi-layered unfolding journey of method, relation, and tradition, that is veiled in paper thin constellations.
