Very interesting and great to see Sophie's drawings which I hadn't seen before. Also, love Sarah's work too. Sounds as if they are both in a ery happy place there.

Fabulous. Thank you M x

Wow, just took my breath away

Magnifique 💓

I sure enjoyed this interview. Great questions & informative replies. Thanks

Two of my favourite people together! What a sweet and genuine video about studio practice , thank you Maria and Sandi

Absolutely loved watching this interview. Sandi just radiates joy and life and this is reflected in her Art. So inspiring!

Nobody cares

Thank you this and all the interviews. This is most inspiring and touches my sensibilities deeply. I am very appreciative.♡

I ❤ the paintings! ❤ Sabina

When I first found Sandi’s channel, I felt like I finally found someone who was similar to the way I like to create. Not, perfect and polished like so much of what I have seen online. I love to get messy and explore different mediums. I get bored easily and I have a husband who is a very big part of my art life. This interview has inspired me to create content that is authentic to who I am as a person. Somehow I missed that Sandi has health issues. So many creative people I know, do. I also have health issues that affect energy. It is inspiring to know she is not a superwoman. Although, she is still pretty super! This was an amazing interview!

One of the first exhibitions i saw at the start of my art school period was a show of his with Colin Lancely at Wollongong Art Gallery about 2002 ? I fell in love with his Port Kembla works.

What a great pleasure to have seen this interview. It is quite special. Also thank you for the extra care you have taken with the sound system. It is the clearest audio delivery I have ever heard on KZbin.

Wow! What a beautiful video! I absolutely loved it! Thank you Sandi for being so inspiring and such a joy to the world. And thank you Maria for facilitating such a wonderful interview.

I've only recently stumbled across this series of videos and am really enjoying them. I love Juliet's innovative & creative use of assorted materials in her home as well as her art.

Love her paintings.

I love Sandi! It’s because of her videos and insistence that play is necessary and ok, that I am so much more free when I create.

Sandi is very real and so is her art!

It’s so true!!!! Sandi really does inspire me tooooooo

I actually can’t wait for the Santa Fe trip video. I go there a few times every year. I’m so excited to see this. It will be so cool to say, oh I’ve been there, now I need to sit there and do it like Sandi. You are such a blessing and inspiration.

So happy to learn about this artist. 🎉

This guys real!

I used this video in a series of art lessons for grade 7 students. Students sketched birds and then created their own bird-instruments. What a wonderful inspiration. We had so much fun with this and it really was the jewel in the grade 7 art show. Thank you so much!

I loved learning a little more about @sandihester and her life, I've been a subscriber and have enjoyed her vlogs for years and she inspires me to keep going! I was really moved to hear her speak about possibly having a learning disorder and how she no longer views it has a hinderance but as just being gifted in another way. And as someone who was always viewed as the weirdo awkward kid myself, it took me a long time to 1. learn I had this thing called ADHD and 2. love and accept all my quirks and the different way my brain works. I'm not useless and flakey (ok, sometimes I AM, haha!) but it's just that my brain focuses so much more intensely on the things that others don't notice. And that is a gift :)

Loved your vision

Arists artist! 😍

One of the best artists!!!❤❤❤❤

this video feels like a idk like something was revealed to me like a relief and secret.. so inspiring

Hi Maria, I would like to thank you very much for beautiful inspiring interview. I love her Spirit. As new emerging artist I admire WENDY SHARP. It's open my eyes to the impossible into creativity. Tq

Thanks for posting this is such an informative video for inexperienced still life painters such as myself

This is epic! I love Talking With Painters and to see Sandi here is such a treat! She is so generous with all her knowledge and process. Super happy with this youtube find :)

Wow! Nicole's landscapes are so beautiful ❤ her choice of colour sublime 😍

I absolutely love Sandi's channel! She has inspired me so much and given me the push to paint again! 🎨 I love that Sandi is authentic and unafraid of showing her true self and her life ❤ so thank you Maria 😊 new subscriber to both channels! Greetings from the Emerald Isle 💚🇨🇮🍀☘

Stumbled on your channel today Maria when I saw your interview with Ann Thompson (not familiar with Ann's work, new to Australian artists). I love discovering artists from around the world. Then I find this one with Idris Murphy - whom Sandi (Hester) mentioned in one of her videos - fell in love with his paintings! So thank you 😊 you have a new subscriber to your channel ❤ I have learned a lot from this particular interview

I found this a wonderful articulation of an artistic process I identify with as an artist - for me he has just described the compulsion I feel to create the work I do. Thankyou .

Love his art. Wonderful piece.

Sandi I absolutely loved this interview! You are such a inspiration to me. As an artist I just get stuck. I'm a realist but want to play too. Can't seem to let go and just enjoy the process. Your such a joy to watch. 🙂❤️

What a fabulous interview! I am new to SANDY Hester’s channel and work, and absolutely love her. I’ve been so inspired.❤

This is therapy! She's amazing 😍

great insightful interview, I'll be definitely watching more of your work, thank you.

Mission accomplished Sandii paint with you and because of your inspiration prompts.. Real Deal artist's life

What I learned from Sandi Hester is to give myself permission to not be perfect because no one does perfect I love being free while I’m creating and that makes painting fun exciting that’s good.🥰

You’re great Sandi 🥰🥰🥰

Sandi is tops!!!

I love this Sandi :)

Sandi is my most favorite KZbinr…she has inspired me to take up art again…I’m having so much fun…thank you for this interview and special thanks to Sandi Hester..she is quite wonderful..such a spirit!!

Sandi Hester (& Grady) is a total gift to the universe. Thanks for taking her gifts so seriously- she’s the real deal and we are fortunate she shares her wonderful, inspiring and uplifting bits of an artist’s life with us.

Woowowowowoowow i loved this!
