Hooked on Discovery with Justin Ogilvie

"When a painting speaks to me, asking me to change it up, I find one of the easiest ways to change it up is to just try new materials."

Justin Ogilvie

In this episode of Living A Creative Life, we speak with artist Justin Ogilvie.

Justin Ogilvie has actively taught and exhibited within numerous public and private institutions. His painting practice informs his teaching philosophy, which brings together traditional and contemporary approaches, focusing on technical skills in realism, creative experimentation, and conceptual development.

In today's episode, we'll dive into Justin's practice and perspectives on how to set goals for his art practice and achieve growth through the exploration of new art materials.

Creative Exploration

This video is part of our theme of Creative Exploration.

With the dawn of a new year, it’s a perfect time to take a moment in life to pause; to listen to what is happening both with the outside world, as well as our inner world, so that we can realign with ourselves and become more in rhythm in our world.

A moment to look at what our place is in our community. How can I create and have an impact on my life? The lives of others? How do we bring focus to what is important?
