Drawing Inspiration Podcast
Last week I had the pleasure of joining artist Mike Hendley on his Drawing Inspiration Podcast. I shared my earliest memories of sketching, my journey as an expeditionary artist, and the story of creating Art Toolkit. You can listen to our conversation here.
Mike Hendley is a self-taught artist based in Ottawa who creates beautifully detailed work of the natural world. On his podcast, he thoughtfully shares creative inspiration through his experiences and conversations with guests. I love his work—check out this recent sketch inspired by his local woods! I also enjoy spotting how he uses a Folio Palette.
Reflecting on our conversation makes me so grateful for this community and the creativity we share.

Hi Maria,
I am reviewing a show with Lara Gastinger’s art in it and I was trying to find out more about the dry brush watercolor technique and happened on yourArt Toolkit video with her. You described your work in far northern areas and I immediately thought of the residency program aboard ship (I used to work at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and am very pro residency programs for creative professional artists.) In any event, I saw you have been to Singla in Norway. If you don’t know abut this one, here it is: https://thearcticcircle.org/ Always sounded incredibly romantic to me. Best regards, Sarah Sargent
