Instagram: @theaartpodcast Email: <a href="https://gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hollowellstudios@gmail.com</a> Testimonials: “Thank you to host Chris Stafford for making me feel relaxed and bringing out all of my thoughts and feelings about life/art! After our interview I felt euphoric and accomplished and so appreciative for that. She is a wonderful interviewer.” Michele Byrne "Chris is a natural host and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. She’s authentic, personable, and has a clear passion for supporting women. Her conversations with female artists about their artistic journeys are in depth and thoughtful. She’s getting into territory others often ignore and uncovering some gems in the process.” Julie Davis “Chris is a highly skilled interviewer who puts her guests at ease. She draws out the juicy bits of lived experience and contextualizes this against the grander arc of history.” Kathryn Andrews “I was honored to be interviewed by Chris. She has a unique perspective in the art world, and it's refreshing to see a podcast with such a wide variety of artists from all different backgrounds and disciplines.” Erin Spencer “Art making can be a solitary pursuit, the AART podcast gives a window into the life and vocation of the artist that informs and inspires while it entertains.” Suzie Baker “ The interview was a very enjoyable experience. Chris is a generous interviewer who draws out her subjects and is completely engaged in the conversation. She's a good listener and asks thoughtful questions.” Ingrid Christensen “As a female artist, being featured on the AART podcast has been a truly transformative experience. It's incredibly empowering to see a podcast dedicated to representing women artists and giving us a platform to share our stories and art with the world.” Lindsay Mullen “AART is an important and unique platform for the stories of women artists and their work. From the art making processes to the personal materials that makes the creative process. The podcast’s greatest asset is Chris’ ability to getting the artists to “open up’, by her preparation process, and the questions she asks.” Maria Martinez-Cañas A Hollowell Studios Production © Copyright: Chris Stafford | Hollowell Studios All Rights Reserved Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aart--5814675/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aart--5814675/support</a>.
