Margo is joined by Amy Wilderson, Brenda Olson, and Katy St. John—three artists whose distinct creative practices come together in Objects Through Time: Connection, Story, and Legacy, an exhibition exploring memory, heritage, and the unexpected stories hidden within everyday objects.

Amy is a multi-media visual artist whose metalsmithing and wirework transform forgotten treasures into meaningful jewelry and sculpture. Brenda is an illustrator, mixed media artist, and founder of Blueberry Road Cards, whose work celebrates storytelling, community, and creative connection. Katy is a Minneapolis-based photographer whose imaginative images blend artistry and narrative to capture what lies beneath the surface.

Together, the three discuss how collaboration across disciplines has challenged, inspired, and transformed each of their creative practices. They share how family heirlooms, found objects, and personal histories became the foundation for this exhibition, why vulnerability is essential to meaningful collaboration, and how art can preserve stories that might otherwise be forgotten.

Margo and Amy, Brenda, and Katy discuss:

• How three artists from different creative backgrounds came together to build a shared exhibition.

• Why ordinary objects often hold extraordinary stories of family, identity, and legacy.

• The role of trust, vulnerability, and honest conversation in successful creative collaboration.

• How working across different artistic mediums expanded each artist's perspective.

• The balance between honoring the past while creating something entirely new.

• Why taking small creative risks often leads to the biggest breakthroughs.

• How they hope visitors will reflect on their own treasured objects and personal histories.

• The power of art to spark conversation, connection, and a deeper appreciation for the stories we all carry.
