I hope you remember S3 E6 with Elizabeth Rohrbaugh. Among other things, she was talking about her work with OMA program (Opening Minds Through Art) at Miami University, OH. OMA enables people with dementia to assume new roles as artists and teachers and leave a legacy of beautiful artwork.

I knew that this alone is worth a whole episode! So here we are with Elizabeth Rohrbaugh and a founder of the OMA program Elizabeth "Like" Lokon.

Key Dyer is part of the sticker art community that creates art on standard 228 USPS shipping labels. The movement is so widespread and collaborative that it's not uncommon to see one artist's work stuck to a STOP sign somewhere across the globe. What does USPS think about this art movement? Listen to the whole episode to find out!

When I first heard Adelina Gonzales's story I immediately knew I gotta get her on the podcast! An artist and a concert industry insider, she figured out how to turn wasted drumheads and trashed vinyl records into artworks. And she didn't stop there.

Eugenia Brodsky is a photographer. She and her husband Samson, the video producer, are a part of the bright and dynamic Ukrainian creative scene. Moved by the united Ukrainian spirit, Eugenia followed and collected artworks created by Ukrainian artists from the first days of the war. Often disturbing and undoubtedly powerful, these images helped her cope with the horrible reality her fellow Ukrainians are facing.

In this episode, I'm talking to Kristin Peterson, a multimedia artist and co-founder of the Ugly Art Club. Why ugly art you ask? Well, let's find out!

I have known Judy Salinksy since 2018 when we both were members of the San Dieguito Art Guild. I admired her work as a painter and I watched her explore the world of bronze sculpture for the first time. But little did I know about her personal story, the challenging upbringing as an artist, and victorious battles with lung cancer... Whatever life has thrown her way, she has never given up on herself and her art.

Season 3 Wrap up. Will there be a Season 4?

ArtReach San Diego is one of my favorite organizations that I like to support. This is why they are making recurring appearances on ITAS :) And that's for a good reason! ArtReach is helping bring art and art education to schools and community centers that otherwise would have been left out due to lack of budget or other circumstances.

In this episode, I'm happy to introduce you to ArtReach SD mural program and its manager Isabel (Izzy) Halpern. Izzy and I are talking about the ways ArtReach is able to make every mural project a meaningful communal event and the effects this program makes on everyone involved.

I'm very excited to have Nellie Scott, Director of Corita Art Center in LA as my guest for this episode!

My very first introduction to Corita's art was in December 2019 when I was working on a project based on my series of influential women for a local charity auction. Corita's story, dedication to art and art education, and freedom of her spirit blew my mind! She spent most of her creative years as a Catholic religious sister of the order of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, CA. A woman artist (in the 1960s mind you!), an educator, an activist, and a leader - she embodied everything we praise today but unfortunately was almost forgotten by the art community in the last 3 decades. This is why Nellie Scott, an art historian, and Director of Corita Art Center is so passionate about saving Corita's legacy and introducing it to as many people out there as possible!

Some of you may know that I work part-time at a local fine art printing company here in San Diego. In one and a half years, I have learned so much about giclee and other creative ways of reproducing art! And that is thanks to my boss and mentor Mark O'Donnell - an artist, and a fine art printing industry veteran.

In this episode, Mark shares his personal story that led him from the art school to the fine art printing business when it was at the very beginning of its development. What I love about Mark is his openness and desire to educate and help every artist on what they can do take their art to a broader audience with prints.
