In this unplanned episode, host Charuka Arora returns to the mic after a long break, sharing where she’s been, what she’s been holding, and where she wants the Arts to Hearts Podcast to go next. It’s not perfect — it’s better. It’s real, in the way that matters most.

In this episode of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, Charuka Arora speaks with Dawn Bouchard, KC Christmas, and Christina Cowan—three talented artists featured in our 101 Art Book: Floral Edition. They open up about their creative journeys, the love they share for floral art, and the real-life struggles artists face, from finding their style to managing the business side of things. It’s a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about growth, passion, and the beauty of staying true to your artistic voice.

In this episode of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, curator and art advisor Liza Zhurkovskaya sits down with Charuka to talk about building an art career, supporting artists in a fast-changing digital world, and the behind-the-scenes of curating for ATH Magazine Issue 6. From her early days discovering a passion for galleries after moving to Canada, to launching her own online gallery, Liza shares honest reflections on the joys and struggles of life in the art world — and offers thoughtful advice to emerging artists trying to carve out their own path.
