Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists. William Kidd taught high school ceramics for 30 years while simultaneously pursuing his career as a professional artist. Bill credits his stable income with allowing him to create the work he wanted to make without the pressure of having to sell. He describes how his nature-based work has evolved to the point that the inspiration for his new work emanates from his own finished pieces. Describing himself as a humble potter, Bill Kidd says he "no longer has anything to prove to himself," and limits the proximity of his show travels to his home state of Florida.

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists. Since childhood, Lisa Kattenbraker has been on "A Mission for Magic" in her artwork and life. Her narrative batiks are expressions of her own experiences, often tinged with nostalgia as she explores her past, her ancestors, her role as a mother and grandmother, and literally sews stories together with ancestral threads. In this conversation, she shares the mystery behind the desire to create personal stories that also resonate with collectors. Often, the viewer brings their unique connection to the work, in which Lisa finds inspiration from meeting the collector whom the artwork was meant for. http://www.lisauntitled.com/ @lisauntitled #batik #artinhomes #legacypieces #lisauntitled #fiberart #artistmother #hippydippy #woowoo #art #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #contemporarycraft #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists. When Christopher Jefferies caught the glassblowing bug in high school, he charted a course that would ultimately result in building his own glass shop by "paying his dues." From working on Dale Chihuly's team to sleeping on the floor of a Czech hot shop, Christopher immersed himself in the fast-paced environment of production glass studios that created hundreds of pieces daily. Once he launched his own studio, his work evolved into multiple-element wall installations on a large scale. Christopher talks about going after those "big fish" on the art festival scene and how he navigates his unique career. https://jeffriesglass.com/ #blownglassart #residentialwallart #lagunabeachglassartist #modernwallart #customglassartdecor #art #corporateart #homedecor #chihuly #glassinstallation #wallglass #studioglassmovement #glassartist #interiorstylehunter #designerwallart #homestaging #crystalglass #sculpture #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #contemporarycraft #artisticvision #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists. Step into the mind of Matthew Naftzger! "Stubborn!" he says, "I don't want to work in a shitty job just to pay for an expensive house. I don't even want to make artwork I don't want to make." Living and working out of a box truck or buying abandoned houses to renovate are ways he feels free. In his pursuit of "choosing a life," Matthew describes how he has adapted his behavior to how his brain works. Discovering as an adult that he experiences ADHD brought into focus the "self-taught mechanisms" he's used to convert "circular thinking to linear thinking." Matthew is an artist who works in various mediums, such as metal sculpture, jewelry, and painting. This conversation shares his experiences with mental health while listening to the universe along the way. https://matthew.works/ #stubbornartist #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #matthewnaftzger #metalsmithing #contemporaryjewelry #getfunky #workworkwork #contemporarycraft #adhdartist #customring #smallsculpture #scifi #dystopiantableware #process #oddities #futureartifact #futurepast #rocket #dystopian #pghartist #morequestions #listentotheuniverse #choosingalife #artistinspiration #starvingartist #artisticvision #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

The Whitcomb's are both artists working on their own bodies of work in different mediums. Each captures elements of the past presented with a contemporary eye. Mick Whitcomb https://www.artifactsbynomad.com/ is fixated on the American Machine Age and the advent of electric lighting. He transforms 19th-century machines and scientific instruments into utilitarian sculptures. Paige Whitcomb https://www.paigewhitcomb.com/ creates photos using the traditional method of wet collodion photography with an authentic 19th-century studio camera. She creates tintypes to capture a staged fictional world. Her images are the opposite of modern photography; in a society where anyone can take a picture anywhere, her meticulously staged scenes allow the viewer to see the world through the artist’s perspective, which is often an allegorical view of modern culture.

When Marlene Rose https://marlenerose.com/ discovered molten glass, she was energized by the adrenaline rush of the material. While pursuing her BFA, she learned that glass could be used for more than just craft, but as a means to convey an idea of what she wanted to say. Although glassblowing was more common at the time, she was drawn to an ancient technique of sand casting, typically used for metal. Sculpting molten glass in a mold of sand sent her in a direction where everything was new and exciting with no limitations.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It's difficult to say regarding this father/ son pair of kinetic sculptors. Jeffrey Zachmann http://www.zachmann.com/brought his son Carl Zachmann https://carlzachmann.com/ on the road with him throughout his career as an independent artist. It is no wonder that Carl eventually followed step with his dad after exploring his interest in engineering and archeology. What seemed like a random collection of interests coalesced around his body of work involving gears and artifacts, encouraging the viewer to go internal. Conversely, Jeffrey's work is a lively experience that allows his collectors to actively engage in the movement within his pieces which disarms them and allows their natural and unfiltered reactions to emerge. These men are extremely creative, and their stories about their experiences on the road are truly entertaining. In the preamble conversation, Douglas and Will discuss hiding from tornadoes, canceling a show, and mistaken identities.
