Listen to my chat with Charlotte artist, Vivian Coleman

Episode 604: Listen as I chat with Charlotte abstract watercolor artist, Vivian Coleman. I met her at The King’s Drive Art Walk last year. I was blown away by her bright colorful art that shows her love for the outdoors and her penchant for adventure. She’s a city planner & a sled dog musher. I knew i had to have her on the pod.

Listen to my chat with Ami Bouhassane, Granddaughter of Artist, Model & WW2 Correspondent, Lee Miller

Episode 604: I was so excited to find my new favorite historical artist…Lee Miller! She was a photographer and a war correspondent for Vogue in WW2. She hung out with Picasso and Man Ray…& she took a picture of herself in Hitler’s bathtub on the day he happened to commit suicide. Listen as I chat with author and co-director of Farleys House and Gallery, [Lee’s old house, which has been converted to a museum and archive of Lee’s work in Sussex, England] and Lee’s Granddaughter, Ami Bouhassane.

Cover Photo: Scherman’s iconic photograph of Miller sitting in the bathtub in Adolf Hitler’s private apartment in Munich, with the dried mud of that morning’s visit to Dachau on her boots deliberately dirtying Hitler’s bathroom, was taken in the evening on 30 April 1945, coincidentally the same day that Hitler committed suicide.

Check out my chat with Asheville Artist, Mark Flowers: Finding Old Muses

Episode 603: Check out my latest chat with Asheville artist, Mark Flowers. Mark was the subject of my very first podcast ever with owner and curator, Wim Roefs in 2006. I finally circled back to Mark this year & he is more fabulous than ever! He does these mixed media paintings that look like collages. We talk about the career vs. art, teaching, storytelling with paintings, finding old muses, and much more.
