Podcast 019 | Follow Your Gut with Wendy McWilliamsOn this episode, Jeanne chats with Wendy McWilliams, an abstract painter, teacher, and healthcoach whose work stops you in your tracks. 3:30 “I really was not artsy in any way I didn’t think, but I always had a creative energy aboutme…” 4:52 “I just picked up this little ‘Learn to Paint an Orchid’ book, and some cheap little brushes,and acrylic paint tubes, and a pad of white paper, and I started painting this orchid and it lookedso horrible.” 5:41 “I had a voice that came to me, and the voice said to me ‘Paint it again but relax.’” 6:45 “I basically became born again, I was reborn as a different creature, a different personthan I was before painting.” 8:22 “I didn’t grow up in a family that appreciated art…art was not something that washighlighted in my home at all. It was like a foreign country I was going to for the first time in mylife.” 9:35 “I’m one who listens to myself and my intuition very heavily, it’s gotten me everywhere Iam in life…” 15:56 “I’ve had 22 jobs. A lot of my jobs were crazy stuff that nobody should apply for withoutknowing anything about it. Like welding sheet metal at a factory.” 16:19 “I would just go for it, you know?” 19:59 “I heard somewhere that all entertainers and people that are artists in any way have adeep-seated need to be accepted, to be loved.” 21:00 “I realized that what matters is to keep going.” 26:55 “To be honest with you, I thought my whole art career was going to go down the tubesbecause of this quarantine. I thought, ‘who’s going to buy art?” 29:03 “I come from the place that creation is always wanting more. Whenever you create, Ifeel like it’s a channel from God, a channel through me.” 35:38 “Isn’t that an interesting thing when it comes to the creative endeavors that there wouldbe anyone that thinks there’s not the right to actually make a living from that.” 36:43 “Visual artists we have this starving artist stereotype that will not die. And it takes peoplelike me and you talking about this to let people know that Justin Timberlake doesn’t go doconcerts for free.” 37:49 “Don’t worry about what people think about you. You have to let go of trying to pleaseeverybody, you’re not going to please everybody.” 38:40 “You have to listen to yourself and trust yourself, and don’t be afraid of people’sjudgments.” Wendy McWilliams is a self taught artist.
