AsphaltCanvasCustomsMindset & MotionI’ve been binge-listening to this podcast over the past couple of months, and it’s quickly become one of my studio staples. Nicholas’s voice has a calming, almost meditative quality that makes it easy to tune in while working. But it’s not just the sound—it’s the substance. His storytelling is rich and deeply relatable, especially to someone like me with a similar upbringing and creative career path. What’s really stood out are his insights around money and self-worth. As an artist who’s struggled with pricing in the past, some of his perspectives have been truly life-changing. This show isn’t fluffy. It’s honest. It’s real. And I’m incredibly grateful to Nicholas and the team behind it for producing something that consistently delivers both mindset shifts and actionable takeaways.

hotchameleonInspirationalI always enjoy Nicholas. He is dialed in to what artists and creators need to hear to be more authentic. Sometimes, coming from a Christian perspective, these presence podcasts don’t always land with me. But Nicholas makes it so accessible without any elements that are a turn off. He has such great insight! Highly recommended!!

LnottypineFulfilling my soul, each day can be a nugget of joy!Listening to Nicholas makes me feel so positive and inspired about carrying on with art and my future. Digging into my authentic self and his reference to our soul is not something to ignore or to take lightly. Living a life that reflects arts itself is what I long for and is what is on my plate at present, to create……Feeling, seeing something each day to express pure joy….. to carry me through the next day and the next. Let me make a clearing, a path, leading into a more joyful and fulfilling lifestyle.🦋

becky0237Inspiring and clarifyingThe Art2Life podcast is something I turn to when I need some inspiration or support to get myself into a better headspace. Nick brings a lot of clarity to the emotional landscape that artists navigate. It's a great balance between both soulful and practical advice.

caprockcokeLate startMy creative juices kicked in to high gear after retirement (raised 4 kids first!) At 74, I stumbled on your podcast. And I love every episode. My grandson is a senior at the university and trying to decide his path after graduation. Graphic art is his major. I often send your podcasts to him. Your words are so stimulating…makes me want to create even more.
-
ARHartistSo enlightening!No other podcast like it! It’s so much more than art, a new way of being, seeing, doing…with the soul of a creative in mind.

FabWileyEdification by Jerry SaltzThere is a reason this podcast is so requested. It really was edifying and gratifying to hear all of these nuggets - most of all we artists must keep on!! I will re listen and remember his words of encouragement and his humor!

Fryemama2Exactly what I need.This this exactly what I was looking for to support my art making journey. Nicholas’s voice is so soothing and warm. The message is always inclusive and supportive. Thank you for sharing this pod with artists everywhere!

dreamalittledreamwithmeRefreshingThank you for your authentic living, authentic life podcast. As I journaled this morning about my lack of time to create I was reminded Nicholas of this podcast. You can call it whatever you want, I call it a big beautiful God wink! I also signed up for your workshop beginning March 4th. My juices are stirring. Thank you, Thank you.

Mags T.Perfect TimingToday’s episode about balancing your art and life couldn’t have come at a more synchronistic moment. It was as though Nick had a pipeline to my exact thoughts. I listened as I painted and his words helped me come to a realization on how to proceed with upcoming events. Very helpful. Thanks, Nick, for your insightful words. Each episode seems to have a helpful tidbit but this one was gold for me.
-
petriebunchVery EncouragingNicholas has a very peaceful approach to art making and his information and the people he interviews are interesting. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and encouraging . I love listening to his podcast while I’m painting!
-
WBird11:28Most uplifting art podcastI’ve been listening to Art to Life now for about a year. I always feel energized and encouraged after I listen, which is what artists need because we know this path can be hard. Thank you Nicholas for your genuine, thoughtful words and for your years of insight into creating and the art world.
-
lolacan!Best podcast on art AND life!I love this podcast so so much! Nicholas is extremely generous in offering his wisdom and sharing inspiration. I learn from every single episode. Thank you thank you!!
-
FamfarmI love love this podcast!I literally get aha moments just about every episode! I am a multi medium artist working currently in clay/sculpture and love to listen to this podcast while sculpting for ideas on how to move myself out into the world in my most authentic way.❤️
-
It’sSueAlways uplifting, engaging and helpfulOne of my favorite podcasts - for the art-making tips and the dose of confidence Nicholas offers in each episode. Art-making pulls from so many different parts of our lives: our psyche, our lived experience and our soul. Nick generously pours wisdom and encouragement into each of these areas, along with healthy amounts of technical tips and advice. He’s like a life coach for artists! I learn something new with every episode. I bet you will, too!

GoodGood SoulNot thrilled that he is becoming a guruHe's interesting and smart and creative but I am starting to get turned off by his "teachings." I liked him better when he was more vulnerable and humble. It almost feels like he is turning in to a preacher. I can't put my finger on it but he just feels "off." I enjoyed his interviews with other artists and their journeys. Would enjoy more than that.

MuseHawaiiArt Is LifeEp54 Rocked my world! I’ve never written a review on a podcast, or maybe anything for that matter. Having lived in New York on the lower Eastside and upper Eastside, my days off spent at museums and nights in village clubs taking in the magic of NY nights…listening to Jerry Saltz talk about the art world and his passion for art and life, truly lit a spark for which I have no words. He is truly iconic. Thank you Nicolas for this amazing podcast.
-
crap what everLife changingYour wonderful podcast is informative on so many different levels. Your wisdom alone is inspiring. Thank you for bringing so many talented artists to this podcast, they all have a piece of the puzzle that I’ve been looking for. I listen to most of them twice, because they are loaded with so much knowledge. Thank you! Lori Arnold

PaulphotographerSelling your art episodeThis is the best podcast episode I’ve listened to about selling art. Really nice job Nick, glad I found this podcast.

shipwreckbluesAbsolutely essential for all creativesThis podcast has single-handedly gotten me out of a prolonged artist block, shut down toxic inner talk and helped me start building a consistent, sustainable art practice for the first time in my life (thank you!) In a perfect world there would be a new episode every day hahaha But in all seriousness, if you’re a creative (of any type) you should tune in, there is perspective-altering wisdom in every epi. Can not wait to sign up for next year’s Creative Visionary Program and spread my wings even more. A heartfelt thank you to Nicholas Wilton and the entire team for all that you do - not to be dramatic, but you are changing lives for the better. Thank you, more please!! 🙌

Improving statement.Also an artistI enjoyed your podcast on overcoming self doubt. I have done this also where life happens and I haven’t been in my studio fo days. I have also just cleaned my studio and found items that I had set aside to work on and never got to it, but upon revisiting these items I have been encouraged and energized to continue with the idea that began the work in the first place.
-
LaFintaLOVE the longer format!!!Hi Nick, I’ve listened to every single episode. I loved them all. They’ve totally changed my life. My only complaint is they are never long enough lol! Keep up the good work. 🎨

DawneTappNicholas Wilton: Mindless ObjectivityEpisode 99: Nick, your willingness/ability to share your vulnerability is truly inspiring. Thank you.
-
Mb4art#99What I love about Nick is that he walks the walk. Talking about being vulnerable and leaving it all on the table. His philosophy of play in art frees me up to by a fearless goofball. To mess up sometimes. To actually enjoy the messes. I can’t wait for #100!
-
BytccmWhere have you been all my life???Honestly, this is the first time listening to the podcast, and I’m so excited about it! Have been painting for 20 years, and Nick’s philosophy about being unique, grateful for the whole process and the gift of self exploration that art gives us is truly soul lifting. I can’t wait to go back to past shows to learn, get inspired and encouraged! And will not miss future shows to come. Thank you!!!
-
AmberUptiInspiringThis is my new favorite podcasts. It’s so refreshing to hear about other artist’s struggles and how they work through them. Im inspired to start working after I listen. I perceive art making in a whole new way now.
-
gingergvtStrengtheningI especially love how Nick answers the questions of folks who write in. He takes everyone seriously no matter the level of the art making. Despite having a discouraging day today, I’m ready to paint tomorrow and reinvigorated after listening to the last episode.
-
Happy pirate fires cannonSo inspiring!I can’t tell you how many days I come out to my barn/studio feeling uninspired but then I listen Art to Life and to Nick and his no nonsense approach and it relaxes me and gives me the motivation to just play with the paint. No masterpieces as yet but I’m having fun so it’s all good. Thank you Nick!!
-
TayvallichLove the July 19 episode“Can you trust what is emerging” is a fabulous episode! Have listened to it twice - so many great nuggets of wisdom from Nick. If you are an artist, and know the ups and downs of the art making process, this episode is for you!!

showmeparisThis podcast is my studio buddyLove listening to Nick and his guests as I work! Also on hour-long car trips. There are some episodes I listen to multiple times—the brain learns through repetition, and that helps me to really integrate new ideas. Really grateful to this podcast as a companion in my artmaking journey.

Ardie#Thankful for the Many Blessings of Art2LifeI am loving Nic’s Art2Life podcasts! Each episode blesses me in several ways: - They keep me exercising as I listen, keeping me moving for longer periods. - Nic introduces me to new, to me, artists. And I click on the links in the program notes to see their work as I listen. I love this expansion of my horizons! - I am inspired by these artists and their stories. - It also feels good to have many of my attitudes and thoughts about creativity expressed by others. - I love the enthusiasm and love of life and artmaking of Nic and the artists he interviews. Thank you Nicolas Wilton!
