In this short update, I wanted to explain my decision to rebrand the ITAS podcast and make it a part of the San Diego Art Directory. What does that mean for the future of the podcast? Take a few minutes to hear me out.

My guest on this episode takes a strong stance on the role of AI in the arts. For some artists, his point of view may seem controversial and it already got him into trouble. Listen to my interview with photographer and digital artist Larry Vogel and let me know in the comments where you stand on this topic!

By 2020, Alessandra Moctezuma had dedicated 10 years working as a professor and gallery director at San Diego Mesa College. She primarily teaches Chicano art and Museum Studies and Gallery Exhibition Skills courses. She is a public art enthusiast and activist to create spaces for artists of color speaking on social justice issues and to shift focus to include San Diego community arts organizations.

I am a huge fan of Erik Abel's art! His style is absolutely unique and his whirlwind of career is a dream for any visual artist out there. I asked Erik to tell his story and was surprised to hear his thoughts on what it means to be a "successful artist" and why he is not sharing his new art project with the public.

Bea Gold, a 97-year-old working artist, writer, and a great friend of mine, invited me to be a part of the exciting project. She wrote and illustrated her second memoir and asked me to help her with designing, publishing, and promoting it. How could I say no?

In this episode, Bea and I share our experience as amateurs in the book publishing world and talk about her inspiration and the process of creating this book.
