Boris Prigmore of Rebcat Creations has been speaking with Kyrianna (Kiri) Bolles is a surrealist watercolor artist currently working in Tacoma, WA. She is an alumna of  the University of Puget Sound, and works as a Museum Educator and Teaching Artist at Tacoma Art Museum.

Kiri was raised on a small sheep farm in the foothills of the Siskiyou mountains in southern Oregon. At a very young age she began creating art, which led to her being placed in a Waldorf school where she began her foundational training in watercolour at 8 years old. She excelled at art throughout elementary and middle school and found it an enjoyable pass-time.

At the age of 12 Kiri remembers bending over while jumping rope and  feeling  immediately feel that something had happened in her back,  “ I was in so much pain I could barely move."

It changed her life. She has a constant, chronic pain that at times is debilitating and leaves her unable to walk or stand. Thus, began years of medical appointments, dozens of doctors, hours of physical therapy, MRIs, bone scans, x-rays, etc and no answers. Art became something different for her then – an outlet and an escape from this confusing, terrible thing that was happening.

In high school Kiri stumbled upon self-portraiture by chance, and not fully realizing what she was doing at first, began to make watercolor self-portraits about her chronic pain. Farm life instilled a great fascination with the natural world in her and she saw parallels between certain natural elements and her chronic pain, (the way fungus grows on rotting wood, or a plant rooting into soil). These visual metaphors in her self-portraits allowed her to have the first glimpse of agency over her condition. "Suddenly I could see the pain and even draw myself pulling it out of my body if I wanted to."

She received awards for her art in high school and even had exhibitions at several local and regional galleries.

College brought new challenges. Kiri tried to get accommodations for absences, and maybe even for a support group to be set up for students like herself. As a senior she was able to start the support group and at long last started meeting other students struggling with chronic conditions. During undergrad Kiri was awarded merit scholarships for her work. Her art appeared in over a dozen university publications, and won several awards including the Senior Art Award in her graduating class for her thesis project creating portraits of students with chronic pain and illness.

​Since graduating Kiri has continued her work making portraits of people with chronic conditions. Having been raised by two psychotherapist parents - Sharon Bolles and Nando Raynolds - Kiri has a strong interest in psychology and the intersection between it and chronic pain. Her parents and older brother Jasper Raynolds have always been very supportive of her work and helped to encourage her art making and dedication to helping people.

While Kiri still struggles with chronic pain, she is grateful for the purpose it has created in her life. "I battled for so long with the grief of living every day with chronic pain. I feel so blessed to have found this path with my art and for all the incredible, strong people I have met along the way. I can't wait to continue to grow my practice."

Rebecca Dixon of Rebcat Creations, has been speaking with Ricardo Ales, artist and illustrator. The paragraph below describes Ricardo in his own words. 

"I am an artist, Southern California born and raised. Birds for some reason have become a magnetic presence in my life. I suppose the intricacy and intimacy of drawing their forms attracts me. I began my art career in school at the University of California, San Diego where I got my bachelor's degree in drawing. After that the rest has been a rollercoaster ride; an endless ebb and flow of high regard and self-loathing, leading me to where I am now, drawing funny looking birds".

In this podcast Rebecca Dixon is talking with Maggie Rose about her debut mystery thriller novel Dark Dante.

Dark Dante is set in the enchanting city of Florence and sweet surroundings of Tuscany. The fluid narrative, apart from being beautifully detailed in its delivery, takes the reader on an exquisite journey through this ancient city steeped in cultural heritage and marvellous cuisine. Maria Farrell comes to Italy to claim a most unexpected inheritance of valuable paintings and property from an uncle whom she has never met.  She arrives in Italy to learn that her uncle was murdered, and a series of mystery murders start to follow. Maria meets some very unusual characters, who the writer has skillfully developed and depicted.  As Maria assists the investigations of these very brutal murders, she also learns a lot about Dante Alighieri and his history in Italy and why he plays such a big role in Italian literature. It seems that the murderer is obsessed with Dante…...Dark Dante is a book that you will not want to put down once you have started it, there is so much to learn and enjoy. A truly satisfying read. Maggie Rose uses modern language and a modern story to help give insight, awareness and understanding into what some may have thought as just stuffy out of date literature.

Maggie Rose taught at Milan University, where she held the chair of British Theatre Studies and Performance and still teaches the MA theatre studies programme. She has published in the areas of British contemporary drama and theatre, Shakespeare in performance and women’s studies.

Since the mid 1990s she has worked in Scotland and in Italy, as a writer, dramaturg and workshop leader, with well-known practitioners. She is a member of the Scottish Society of Playwrights and Scotland’s Playwrights Studio. Several of her stage and radio plays, focusing on Italian migration to Scotland, such as the co-written Walking Through Stones and Six Month Here Six Months There, have been performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, The Gateway (Edinburgh) and Soho Theatre (London). She is President of English Theatre Milan.
