- Raquel Baldocchi is a mixed-media contemporary artist in the Bay Area. Raquel draws inspiration from her grandmother, who created textile art, made beautiful scrapbooks, and crafted ornaments every year for Christmas.
Raquel’s college boyfriend’s mother was a printmaker. She influenced Raquel so much that Raquel pursued a degree in printmaking. Now, every piece of art that Raquel creates is infused with a story.
In this episode, Raquel and I have a conversation in my studio while we’re creating. Join us by bringing along a sketchbook or something you are working on, and allow yourself to be inspired to create something new.

Nick, This is a wonderful format. Raquel is so inspiring for me, in this retirement phase of my life.
Wow what an awesome podcast .... so uplifting and inviting and such amazing stories (from both of you) as you play while making exciting art. Thank you both.
Thank you - this was so inspiring and stress relieving! 😊 just love your kindness and energy 🥰
I was selling my art one year in a local Sci-Fi convention. I had a variety of different kinds of art, some was just mine and some was collaborative work with my husband. This story is about the one of my pieces that sold that year. An older man came over to my booth looks at a painting I did of a young woman walking on a shining path toward a bright light in front of her. She had a dress/robe kind of garment on and long flowing hair. He stared at it for a while and then put it down and walked away. Later he came back and he'd made up his mind, he bought it and then told me why. The painting reminded him of his wife who had passed not long before this convention. For him it represented who she was and that she had "walked into the light". He was near crying and so was I, I said, "I'm so glad you found this painting, it must have been meant for you." The title of the piece was "Walk in the Light". You just never know what someone else will see in your work, and sometimes it's just amazing to me.
Such a touching story!
Wow Raquel inspired me so much - both with her art and with her attitude to life.💕 Thank you!
This is exactly what the art2life podcast is meant to be!!!! Doing art while chatting is FANTASTIC! A million thank you's Nick! And Racquel- I could listen to your story and watch you work for days!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Such a wealth of sketchbook-worthy ideas, plus image generaton examples. Wonderful conversation--Raquel is so inspiring for we 'third act' people. Thanks for the chat.❤
Love this pod/ visual cast..but my agony at the beginning..Rachel talking about lovely papers..and you Nick have the most scrumptious palette paper..which you then pour paint onto..I wanted to snatch it up!! So glad Gelli printed papers being recognised for how wonderful they are . 🙂
So inspiring. Every day happens something good ❤calling in the mentorship 🤩
thanks sooo much for this today, Raquel hit home for me today, last week of CVP and I was feeling a bit down about not really having the time for much art during the program and then I see her fabulous art with collaging her own papers, I already do that when I make birthday cards for people, cutting up discarded paintings!!! People always say I should sell them, but I don't want to, I just love painting so much! I can go into the studio and just make papers as PLAY and oh my....what I can create! I played in my journal while you were both working alongside, watched twice to keep going! Nick, awesome!!!!!
Absolutely love your new format! So inspirational…
Love this format of creating and conversation. Gelli printing is magical and so fun. I’ve been working with medical exam paper and when wet it is so transparent and more durable than the wet strength tissue. Thanks for sharing this amazing conversation. 😍
paper at 18:00 is probably west strength tissue paper. awesome interview, art, my all time favourite book, gelli-plate printing. wonderful. Nick thanks for introducing us to Raquel.
Wow what a cool podcast, thanks Nick and Raquel for sharing, you inspired my love of Magic Realism in my creativity. Gorgeous work. :)
This was so so good…I didn’t want it to end. Love the art both of you made. And the stories…incredible. Racquel is such an inspiration and I love her art. Thanks to you both. I’m really loving this new format for the podcast.
This was such an inspiring discussion! I love collage too, will definitely now try to work with the gelli plate, both of your sketchbooks gave me so much ideas on how to play with collage in mine! Thank you!!
OMG I really really enjoyed you two just talking ,sharing and creating ! Thank you both . Wonderful,marvelous. ❤
I have been using my endless supply of gel plate prints in my mixed-media paintings. I have gotten some of the best backgrounds that I could never reproduce using all sorts of papers…
I loved this. It was so soothing yet interesting to listen to you and Raquel as well as watch you both creating!
What an inspiration to watch the two of you make art. Thank you!
Thank you so much, a warm and lovely and inspiring conversation. 🙏😍 I will try this in my studio tomorrow💃🎨
Thank you for those closing thoughts about your husband. You were speaking to me 🙏🏼
Excellent podcast!!!!
Love watching this. Thanks for sharing so much
Loving this on newsprint!!
Love this interview - mixed media art is definitely so much fun to create! The options are endless and only limited by one’s imagination!!
Love that new format! Playing around with my gelliplate too 😊.
New to art. Love these pod casts.
Interested in adding fabric and threads in a mixed media piece. Even tho I’m not even an adequate drawer. Certainly not a person who sews.
Started art work attempt’s probably 4 years ago on a hit or miss basis. Graphite and watercolors. Mix it all over the place now but no oils yet.
Anyway - threads and fabric intrigues!
Thank you 🙏 I’ll be looking out for wet tissue paper !
So, so inspiring. Thank you
It’s interesting to know what kind of people buy your art.
So great! Thank you to you both. 🌿
The wet strength tissue used by Raquel is available from Amazon.
Gel printing is my favorite technique right now. I make papers every weekend.
Please get a new blade for your exacto! 🤣. Love the art and conversation! So fun!
Great interview! Just love hearing how Raquel is using gel printing in her work! Very inspiring. The link to her site is not working.
Thank you! The site is now back up
I really enjoyed this podcast! I do have a question. I have a lot of gel plates. Would it be ok for me to try this process? I don’t want to copy.
The process is available to everyone. Go for it!! 7:49
Beautiful. But, now I can't take your podcast on a walk anymore! Have to keep stopping to see what's happening on screen. This seems obvious, but does this sound right anyone? She collages, then draws/paints, then perhaps add'l collage?
