We are back after a short break with the final episode of Season 2!

And we are excited to end this season with an information-packed interview with Tami Hasapopoulos, a nature enthusiast who finds joy in the natural beauty of the world around her, a wellness practitioner who guides women creatives towards leading a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle, and a magical human being striving to support her clients on their path to healing.

Tami's  journey towards holistic wellness took a transformative turn when she found a book that provided crucial information about the root cause of her symptoms. It brought tears to her eyes as she finally found what she had been looking for all her life – her missing link and a path to true healing. After a while, the symptoms began to disappear, and she could apply various strategies and remedies to address her symptoms. Excited by the positive outcome of her health improving, Tami continues to learn more about the strategies she took, studied and took courses, and earned her certification, providing courses and one-on-one guidance to creative minds.

New episode is out! Tune in as Mona interviews Kim Hopson, a multidisciplinary artist from Brooklyn, NY, who explores themes of physical limitation, otherness, and
ableist bias in society through her work.

Experiencing life with a disability has given Kim a unique viewpoint that is reflected in her paintings, drawings and collages. She focuses on the body’s relationship to the
world, both physically and emotionally. Motherhood has made that difference a more central part of her art, and her work has expanded to examine those experiences in the context of parenthood. Her intention is to create dialogue around these topics in order to spark a larger conversation.

Welcome to another episode of Women United ART PODCAST!

Today, Mona interviews Molly F. McCraken, a Virginia-based artist and the 1st place winner of Women United ART PRIZE 2022, who works in mixed media collage, assemblage and acrylic painting. Often the sentiments expressed in her work refer to current events (especially racial justice, colonialism and women’s issues),  the natural world (especially the climate crisis, geology and botany) or feelings (especially deep inner reflections on her place in this world, her personal history or her day-to-day emotions). In her process-oriented art, Molly’s intention is to bring these issues to light in a way that is sensitive, visually appealing, potentially humorous, and always thought provoking. Her inspiration springs from bold color, shape, joy, frustration, beauty and wonder.

Join the ladies as they discuss Molly's art practice and thought process behind her art making.
