    Essential to my art journey!
    I’ve been listening to Art + Magic for several years and it’s been essential to my growth as an artist. Devon is generous and honest with the information she shares, and it’s helped me understand my own struggles with finding my style, mental health, and navigating capitalism. 🦄💞✨
  • Kelly Witmer
    Chock full of inspiration
    Love this podcast - I missed it and had forgotten about it until recently. Glad Devon is back at it and on fire!
  • Lesley Ramirez
    Favorite Podcast
    Devon’s episode never fails to inspire or motivate me. The first time I found her podcast i binged listened to so many episodes. I’m a mom of two and don’t have time to paint or even listen to podcasts as much anymore but today I had time and remembered why I love this podcast so much!! Thank you girl!
  • maxlamonte91
    Inspiring and Enjoyable
    So grateful for the incredible scope of perspective and information that Devon explores, especially the practical, experience based advice. I always feel inspried and invigorated to tend to my art practice after listening to this podcast.
  • brandireynolds_art
    Love this podcast
    I really appreciate how relatable Devon is and how honestly she and the artists she speaks with talk about all aspects of art and being an artist. I always come away with a little bit more knowledge snd insight than I had previously and am constantly inspired!
  • kriziaart
    My favorite podcast!
    As well as being a magical artist, Devon is so interesting to listen to. Her interviews are deep, engaging, and mind-expanding. Every episode shifts my perspective in a more creative way and leaves me inspired! Love this podcast!! The lastest episode about artist myths and the “shoulds” we tell ourselves may be the best talk and art advice I’ve ever heard. So incredibly important for any artist to listen to!
  • smoothenglish
    Perfect
    The October episode on developing your unique style was exactly what I needed to hear. I’d been doing so much introspection lately, going on my own spiritual and emotional journey here, and wasn’t sure how to make that jump to translating those changes within me into visual changes in my artwork. Devon provides PRACTICAL advice in this episode, as opposed to the “just keep swimming!” advice we typically hear. Loving this, and can’t wait to delve into past episodes to see what else I might uncover! Thank you, Devon!
  • maddie wehner
    My favorite podcast right now!!
    I’m truly so grateful for this podcast! The guests are always amazing and Devon is such a great communicator and is really good at asking in depth questions. I can always turn to this podcast for inspiration and a confidence boost. My art practice has been expanding rapidly since listening! :)
  • amy hazelwood

    Fascinating topics, thoughtful discussion, skilled questioning, helpful advice, and an all-around good time.
  • Dcm630
    Brilliantly done!
    One of my favorite resources for inspiration, confidence in creating, and a peek into how other artists minds work!
  • bavayoufilms
    Great insight
    This podcast is wonderful. As an artist, it’s great to hear from my fellow creators. There is great advice about navigating the art world, dealing with real artist issues, and it inspires me to keep creating
  • CDomingos92
    Exactly what I needed
    This podcast is so helpful and truthful about the things I will need to think about when transitioning to being a full time artist. It is inspiring and helpful and I feel like I will be able to really do this “full time thing” with resources like this!
  • Lou Stine
    A new fave!
    I love Devon’s insightful interviews and the way she explores the magic of creativity!
  • Dranalbbank
    Self Awakening and Self Grace
    I look at Devons conversations as open therapy... giving us a inside on the struggles and triumphs of different artists and what art means to them.. I LOVE IT
  • Jessica Matier
    Interesting and informative
    Devon shines a light in the obscure world of contemporary artists selling and succeeding online. I am so happy I found this podcast. It managed to hold my ever drifting attention which says a lot.
  • Amira Rahim
    Devon is brilliant.
    I had the pleasure of being a guest on Art + Magic and couldn’t have been more grateful for the questions she asked me. Devon is a brilliant interview and artist. Thank you! -Amira Rahim
  • Sara Schroeder (Artist)
    Absolutely loved this season!
    I absolutely loved this season of Art and Magic and was legit sad when I finished the last episode. I walked away from each one with new bits of wisdom. The interviews with Taylor Lee and Amira Rahim were my faves!
  • lilykelart
    Pure magic ;)
    Obsessed!!! Not only has she gotten an all star lineup of podcast guests, Devon asks all the right questions—literally she covers everything I want to ask these people myself—and she has a great presence and way of explaining her points. All artists/creative entrepreneurs should be listening to this!!!
  • Camille Gerrick
    I need this in my life!
    So far, I feel like Devon is speaking directly to me about what I need to do to grow my art business. Practical and actionable tips, and very inspiring! Love it!
  • KailyB
    A must listen for aspiring artists!
    I’ve followed Devon for years and I’m so thrilled she is finally doing a podcast. I love how she weaves together advice I can actually use with a more soulful perspective — we really need this in the artist community. Thanks Devon I can’t wait to hear more!
  • HaileyKristina77
