This one's a quickie 😊

Tiana Correa is with me again. We're going to talk about the three solo shows Mander has opening in 2025. We're talking about sexy titles, how art looks like pies, and divorce art. Each show this year is a completely different body of work. What was I think?! We'll dive into what the vibe is going to be like at each show. You don't want to miss them!

Mander's solo shows (with some date edits):

• March 31 - May 10: East Hartford Public Library ("What Echoes Within")
• May 3 - June 30: Amos Bull House ("Through the Layers")
• July 2 - August 26: Jewish Community Center ("Before and Beyond")

In this debut episode of In the Making with Mander, I sit down with my dear friend Tiana to explore the root of who I am as an artist. From childhood memories and early creative sparks to the work I create today, we trace the threads that have shaped who I am as an artist. We talk about my process of making and working with natural inks, the emotional and symbolic connections I build through natural materials, and how mixed media helps me tell deeper, more layered stories. This is the beginning of something meaningful—a look at the why behind my work.
