klbergSo many inspiring storiesOne of my favorite podcast. Dionne has a gift of sharing other artists’s creative stories and journeys. Each episode leaves me feeling motivated and empowered to push my creativity to bigger places and helps me feel like a part of a much larger and beautiful community

The Flowering FarmhouseTruly An Inspiring PodcastI love listening to Paint Talks. Dionne is a fabulous host and she invites such interesting and inspiring guests to join her on each episode. I learn so much from each episode and always look forward to the next. Thank you Dionne for bringing out the creative side in each of us!

LuanneHaakFantastic!This podcast is not only genuine and Informative - but Incredibly inspiring! Many of us don’t think we have a story to share - but in listening to the creatives speak on this show just screams YES - we do! There is something relatable in every story. Dionne has a great ability to listen, ask and make the listener feel like we’re right there in the room with them! Fantastic!

BLmorselbutt, MA, PHDDionne is a GemIt was such a pleasure to be on the show. Dionne has such a flow and ease about herself, even from a distance you feel connected to her and the conversation. If you enjoy listening to a podcast that is both relatable and informal this is a great one to add to the cue!

FOUND & REFINEDAbsolutely listen!It is so great to have a podcast out there for creatives! And not just any podcast, one backed by someone (Dionne) with professional perspective, techniques, and inspiration. She has such a kind heart and fun personality! I would recommend this to anyone who loves to create. You’ll definitively get something out of each episode!! 💕🫶

Aunt Becks BakeryGreat Stories Behind The ArtI love to hear about the backstories and journeys these artists have been through. Dion is a great, authentic interviewer. The stories are fun, surprising and relatable. It’s my go-to creativity podcast. I haven’t missed an episode. Rebecca- Aunt Beck’s Bakery

TondaMullinsPaint talk podcast The Turquoise IrisI just love to listen to Dionne interview other creatives!! It’s like sitting with a friend at a coffee shop kind of conversation. Her guests are from many backgrounds, with different outlooks on life, but they seem like the best of friends when they are together!! If you have a half hour, and want to get to know other creatives make sure to tune in soon… you will be happy if you do!
-
The Color Bee & HeDionne of Turquoise IrisI just started listening to Dionne’s podcasts recently and let me just say I am blown away with the honest & beautiful stories! I am laughing as well as teary-eyed at different parts. To hear Dionne’s serious as well as fun & sometimes silly questions to her quests is both heartwarming and real. I am learning so much from Dionne as well as all the other amazing artists on here and look forward to listening to more and maybe, just maybe being a guest someday! Buy the way, have you tried Flan yet Dionne? You will love it! (From Nancy L. guesting). Thank you & best in paint, Lori of The Color Bee & He

AaaaaeeeeeeeDionne is AMAZINGIf Dionne gives you advice, you DO IT! This woman has created an amazing brand and is so generous with her knowledge. I highly recommend this podcast to any creative. ❤️

(((Syl)))This is the only podcast I listen toI’m not one to listen to podcasts but this one I listen to I have my days that I listen to them all day long over and over they inspire me and I feel like I’m right there in the room with them I get to know the artist and there struggles pushes me forward.
-
LNKolor ArtBeyond WordsI listen to Paint Talks either when I’m gardening, or when I’m painting base layers on new art pieces. For those of us that follow Dionne and have seen her grow from teacher, to mentor, to business coach, it’s only natural to see her grow into what is now this podcast. Dionne eases one into a natural, relaxed conversation, and not as an interview for a podcast. To me the interviews are not just interviews for a podcast but connections that go beyond words. Dionne’s voice is soothing and relaxed and that makes guests feel like they are just chatting with an old friend whom they haven’t seen in a long time. Download and listen to it. You won’t regret it!
-
CRUZENCARRIEReal honest talks!I love listening to Dionne’s heart to heart talks with all the incredible artist she has on!! So many artists that experience the same ups and downs of the biz! She gives straight forward advice with truth and honesty that we all need to hear from time to time! ❤️
-
Ksred D.In depth inspiration!Every story inspires and makes me work just a little bit harder and believe a little bit stronger in myself.
-
Cmj7423Always learning!I listen to these while driving, working and cleaning in my house! I just love learning what Dionne and guests teach and the views of other fellow artists ❤️

Donna Presley KaplanYou and MattI just listened to the podcast of you and Matt. Absolutely inspiring! I wish I had listened before the courage on canvas retreat but so glad to get to know Matt! Sweetheart! He’s easy to love 😍

VenicegirlsouthofdixieInspiring StoriesI love Dionne’s kind voice and inquisitive nature. She has an amazing way of finding the stories with stories and allowing us to learn, grow and see what’s possible!
-
Karen in South TexasMichelle Love Sells and DionneI was widowed after 41 years and discovered Dionne through Debbie Beard after my husband’s death. My story is different than yours and it does take time. It’s two years later and still the vale’s of grief still lift and my brain seems to be clearer. I’m like you in that I carry on no matter what. Your right life is short and you continue. I’ve just began letting people back into my life more openly closer to the person I use to be. I know I will never be that same person and that’s find. Life is short. Be the person you want to be and have a passion for life and a purpose in your life. Mine is art and some times telling other women they can do life in their own terms. Appreciate you both🌻

augar1765All the things and more.Since discovering Dionne awhile back and the passion she has for helping others find their heart in the creative world and beyond. She has helped change my business and my personal life in so many ways. Each episode is incredibly inspiring, you will finish the podcast ready to conquer those goals and just know your not alone. I’m a podcast junkie and I love she has one now. I can listen to in my car or anywhere I’m at. Can’t wait for the next podcast

Molly FormanAlways shining!It is always a bright if not brilliantly bright spot in my day when my notification pops on telling me that ANYTHING *Dionne* is happening! I LOVE everything about her! She inspires me, cheers me up and makes me want to be creative! My 2020 has been better with Dionne in it!
-
Roux6362626BlessingA beautiful inspiring podcast! Dionne has a way of giving courage to those of us that seem to always second guess ourselves, even if your not a creative. Her sweet soul and bright light are always a blessing 🥰
-
LaLa ReadsDionne Woods changed my life!Dionne Woods has changed my life and she will change yours if you let her. I have always thought that I wasn't creative, I wasn't artistic. I would see people paint and create beautiful art and I would say "I could never do that, I didn't get that gene." Then I found Dionne and she helped me see that I can do that, I do have that gene! About a year ago, because of her inspiration and encouragement I picked up a paint brush for the first time in my life and I haven't put it down since. I truly have a different life now and It's hard to remember those days when I would say "I can't do that." Dionne is so much more than a talented artist, she is also an amazing mentor and through her Facebook groups she has built a community around her that supports not just Dionne, but each other. Now she is pushing herself once again by starting an online magazine, The Turquoise Iris Journal, and this Podcast. She is always reaching for the stars and encourages all of us to do the same.
-
Karen Anna BrownTruly Inspirational.Dionne Woods, The Turquoise Iris, is truly an inspirational woman. Once I began following Dionne 4+ years ago, I was in awe by her unique creations of furniture art and canvas art. She pushes her limits everyday and inspires and encourages others to do the same. Dionne is a mentor to others in her membership groups, and she has a heart larger than anything she’s ever painted. Dionne is beyond talented. She sets goals and achieves them ~ the Iris Journal, and now her new Podcast. Dionne blooms with everything she sets her mind to. Truly an Inspiration!
-
Heather Lane WatsonMentor, Coach, Student, InspirationDionne can truly be defined as “All the things”. She is a creative mentor, business coach, a Student of the paint world (always learning herself), and an inspiration to anyone who happens to run across her on social media. Venturing into a digital magazine and podcast were both just the obvious steps in this amazing journey she and Matt have created for themselves. It’s an honor to be allowed to follow along with The Turquoise Iris! 💙
