Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
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 will be released soon!
Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
****New Memorial Intro**** Rerelease Gwen Tooth: Walk Them Around In My Head
Speaking with Toronto based Abstract Expressionist Artist Gwen Tooth we take a deep dive into her practice on how she assimilates her travels into techniques in her toolbox; how staying with teachers too long can change your creativity in ways you didn't expect, and how she never thought art school was for her - when ultimately she went later on to three different institutions.
Join Carolyn Botelho as she discusses with Gwen where her influences in Art really came from, how textiles, printmaking, and even playing a variety of instruments played a part. When does she decide the painting is complete? How do memory and visualization work together? And what gave her the initial inspiration to take her down this artistic path?
Working backwards Tooth describes her early years with her mother and all that she learned from her, how sewing, and even copying calendar pictures, were part of the fabric that made her creativity what it has become today. Reflecting on all the tools she has gathered over the years from her Mother's hands, workshops, galleries, and classes, to fellow students, and friends.
Gwen's wealth of knowledge she unfolds for us methodically in this discussion on her practice, her process, and what few rules she sticks to as she breaks the rest; while she holds thousands of landscape snapshots in her psyche nearly ready to be revealed to the world in her next exhibition.
