Wisdom, Art, and Longing - Judy Tuwaletstiwa - Ep 151

- Judy Tuwaletstiwa, a multidisciplinary visual artist, writer, and teacher, had no idea she was an artist for many many years. After being told she was 'no artist' by her 7th-grade teacher, she didn't create art until later. Judy shares her insights on aging as a liberating gift, allowing her to focus on what truly matters. We explore her vision of art as a mysterious, transformative force and she tells me more about an ongoing project, which aims to help people understand how to integrate art into every life stage. I know you'll love the inspiring stories based on Judy's teaching experiences, including a viral TikTok that demonstrates the power of art in self-exploration. She shares influences that shaped her artistic path, including lessons from a tumultuous childhood, transformative travels, and meaningful collaborations. Join us to reflect on creativity, intuition, and the enriching exchange of insights between generations, offering valuable takeaways for artists and educators alike in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [6:38] Her grandmother's positivity and magic helped overcome generational wounds [12:35] How Van Gogh brought Judy back to cresting art [17:01] Providing art-based workshops to help young boys experience healing [23:23] What brought Judy back to sharing her art 15 years later [28:21] A soul-searching camping trip in the Southwest at age 41 [34:24] How Judy created her "Songs of the Earth from Space" series [37:38] Art has no mistakes; it's a doorway that leads you somewhere [42:32] Intergenerational exchange enriches learning [46:14] Growing old is a gift because it brings freedom and clarity on what truly matters ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.
