About Me...
Debbie Chatfield is a contemporary artist who lives in rural Staffordshire. She is inspired by nature and likes to paint the environment that surrounds her whether that be flora, fauna or landscapes.
She aims to portray the way we connect to nature, including the elemental forces, seasonal changes and via abstraction to portray the deep emotion felt within nature on the canvas. In her latest collection Spring Awakes Debbie explores the joy we feel as the seasons change, when the warmer days arrive and the natural world fills with colour.
Recently Debbie has been working with another artist Ruth Egon both on a regular Podcast Art Alchemy and within a new online art community Art Hub.
Both Ruth and Debbie believe strongly that Creativity in whatever form is important in life and helps us to process our own emotions and is good for you regardless of ability. They believe everyone can be an artist and that community helps us all to progress.
They are about to launch the Artist Roadmap an online coaching programme that takes artists forward in a unique way to find their personal artistic voice and to create their own body of work.
Her passion for creativity is not limited to visual art. She graduated in 2015 with a BA (Hons) Humanities which encompassed music and creative writing. She loves to write poetry and her current art incorporates the written word and poetry as you can see in the artwork.
She aims to share her passion for creativity in her Art Alchemy Podcasts, the Art Hub Community, Art Workshops and within the Art itself. For more information please contact Debbie using the details below.
We believe there are 4 elements of creativity you need in order to transform your art, we use these in Art Hub and Artist Roadmap:
Intuition - Challenges, 1-2-1 coaching on mindset, Mindset Magic exercises
Inspiration - Art Inspiration, Live Workshop, Challenges
Fundamentals - Art in Practice, Live Workshops
Reflection - Mindset Magic, Challenges, Mentorship on your creative practice
You will have a bespoke roadmap and 1-2-1 coaching and mentoring to transform your art and you into a confident artist
How it All Began...
I have been teaching in person for many years now. From village halls, my home studio and other venues.
Having run countless Workshops, Painting Holidays and Classes I realised I wanted more.
In classes my teaching style had changed in line with my art and I wanted to reach people on an authentic level.
I had been on an art business course (it's where I met Ruth) which meant I had met a lot of other artists and I wanted what many of them had a really deep understanding and connection with their art.
The realisation led me to my more abstract work, I no longer wanted to portray a moment in time, I now wanted to portray how my connection to the world and nature 'felt' so I could pass that feeling onto others.
Ruth and I had kept in touch, we wanted to reach more people like ourselves and the Art Alchemy Podcast and Art Hub was born... we both love to chat and explore the deeper of our art, meaning the authentic connection we have with it. We want that for ourselves.
The Artist Roadmap is about sharing that ability to connect with our art with others.
We both decided that the only way to do this was to individually provide a roadmap as every person is unique. We decided it would need a coaching element and we would help people build a body of artwork.
This means that the programme is over a year, it gives you the time to produce art and work through your interests and blocks with our support.
We now want you to have that authentic connection too.
