The Create! Podcast

Join Kat and Roxy on an inspiring episode about the artist's path, her work exploring contemporary realism, and her upcoming show during Art Week in Miami.

Roxanne Sauriol Hauenherm is a self-taught painter based in Montreal, Canada whose paintings are collected and exhibited internationally. Hauenherm is best known for her vivid contemporary interpretations of classic paintings which she describes to be "witnesses to how times change but people stay the same". While it is undeniable that technique is at the core of her work, it nonetheless succeeds to bring levity to a practice she considers to be arcane and pedestalized.

In this episode, Alicia hosts an inspiring interview with painter Brittany Atkinson. Brittany is an Austin-based artist known for her abstract female portraits and figures. After a childhood spent in Houston, Brittany now calls Austin home. When asked what inspires her as an artist, Brittany often says, "Over the years, I have been influenced by several incredible women. Their stories and their bravery have shaped me. Their daring spirits and whispers of wisdom guide me through my creative process. I am never surprised when bright and colorful work appears on my canvas, as it reflects how those women's stories of strength, confidence, and vulnerability light up my soul. I feel blessed to share my art and hope it empowers and inspires other women to listen to their hearts' desire to chase their dreams."

In this episode, Alicia Puig hosts an interview with Cindy Shaoul. Inspired by the whimsy and purity of the feminine form, Shaoul is known for her impressionistic and abstract style. She is best recognized for her series 'Brides', 'Dripping Dots' and 'Hearts', as well as her Plein-air street scenes of quintessential New York locations. Cities suffered during the global pandemic but painter Cindy Shaoul reminds us of their romantic and elegant spirit through her cityscape paintings. Shaoul is the perfect fusion of old and new (through her unique combination of impressionist and abstract painting methods) with a bit of haute couture and street art on the side. As cities slowly come back to life, Shaoul reminds us of their beauty that inspires.

In this episode, Alicia interviews Andy Firth, a self-taught Australian artist known for his signature canvas: the human skull. Since 2013, he has remained widely anonymous under the title 'Jack of The Dust'. Until now. With international demand at an all-time high and a combined following of 2.5 million, his clientele includes Joe Rogan, Slash, Jason Momoa, Chris Brown and Nikki Tutorials. Each piece is hand-made in Australia by manipulating acrylic, clay and cinema-grade urethane resin imported from the U.S. to resemble skin, steel, stone and bone. Exclusively attainable through 4-6 public releases each year, Firth's works of art crack through the limits of imagination on adventure. Firth has grown a full-time crew of 15 and operates from two Burleigh Heads warehouses on Australia's Gold Coast.
