In this interview with Danielle, she shares how she attended the Oregon College of Art and Craft, in Portland Oregon, before it suddenly closed during her junior year as a fine art major. And how she found her way back to artmaking in that interim time between art school and now. Working in stained glass proved to be more possible than other forms of jewelry and metal smithing and she is now dedicated to it; selling her work at many local markets and even creating a teaching studio here in Portland at Milieu,  where you’ll be able to take classes and make your own stained glass art.

Thank you for coming on the Art Friend Show, Danielle! It was a delight to talk with you!

In this solo episode, I’m addressing a topic that many artists have. I tackle this topic first with examples of the idea of “multiple discovery” as it relates to the realm of ideas, and creativity itself. I then talk about it from the angle of modern day copyright, and why the concept of copyright exists - if you want to learn more about this, definitely check out the blog of Betsy Cordes at February 13 Creative https://february13creative.com/learn which has a great primer on copyright for visual artists. Finally, I talk about originality from the perspective of all of us at a party - it’s just a lot more fun when you bring your whole self and your own fresh work to the party - we want to see and celebrate you, and every potluck is yummier with a variety of different dishes!

This solo episode features a bit of fun, as we play in the space of “Art Friend” and “Art Frenemy”. While creating “The Art Friend Show” and “The Art Friend School” I’ve been playing with the concept of Art Friend as a person who is the embodiment of creativity itself. And just recently, the idea of “Art Frenemy” came to me and I laughed out loud so I just have to bring these characters to life.

Today’s live show is these two having a conversation - we shall see where this all takes us!

Monica is also a documentary filmmaker and created a film called “I Am Your Hairdresser” in which we get to know several powerful characters who have made a creative lifestyle in integrity with themselves while providing this powerful service to their clients and communities.

Artists come in all mediums - Monica thank you for letting me share a glimpse of yours!

In this interview with Jackie, she shares the unique way that she unifies her collections of new paintings - by giving them a name, usually a woman’s name, and a distinctive energy for the whole series. Currently she has the “Paige” collection and we see several paintings from this series in her interview. Jackie builds up layers of rich color within each piece, using palette knives to apply mineral paints and pan pastels on wood panel and clayboard, to create gorgeous and subtle texture within each composition. She is also involved in her local community, and shares about an upcoming art project with children, and a new teaching offering in her space, where one or two people can join her in her studio to make a painting start to finish.

Jackie, thank you for being a guest on the Art Friend Show! It was awesome to talk with you and I’m excited to see all of your progress and artwork!

In this interview with my good friend and fellow artist Alicia Schultz, we peek inside her workspace as we walk through her garage studio talking about plants, light, shadows, murals, and meditation. It was so much fun to see how she turns all these practice pieces into fun personal projects that over time turn into murals, illustrations, stationary, and pieces of art! 

Alicia, thanks for granting us this insider's look at your special place. It’s gorgeous, wild, and wonderful!
