In this episode of Exploring Art, we follow Isabella, Giulia, and Alessandra as they interview Miami-based Austrian artist Maria Theresa Barbist. From her beginnings as a psychologist in her home country to risking it all to study art in the United States, this segment provides a window into the world that is the overlap between psychology and art, in addition to the story of an immigrant woman who chose to pursue her passion against all odds. Barbist is currently active as a sculptor and mixed media, fiber arts, and video artist, as well as a singer/songwriter in her indie folk band My Auxiliary Ego. Join us as we explore the mind behind the art.
