I'm an artist, muralist, author, podcaster, and educator, with a passion for making meaningful connections through art. I'm proud to be a collected Canadian Artist, with my work exhibited internationally and across North America. Recently, I had the privilege of showcasing my pieces in the vibrant art scene of NYC. A highlight of my career has been the completion of my largest project to date, a monumental 3082 sq/ft mural titled Choose Love and Join Hands in Truth and Reconciliation. Along with the installation of this massive project, we ran an Indigenous Mentorship Program. To celebrate the project we held an unveiling and Final Ceremony with elders blessing, dancing and drumming. This collaboration with my community holds great personal significance. In 2021, I took my commitment to creative education further by founding an Art Academy in partnership with my local public school district, with a focus on inclusivity, diversity, and self discovery. Additionally, I established the Colour Me Happy online Community, Book, and Podcast, aiming to spread creative joy far and wide. In the coming years, I'm excited to take my educational workshops to the next level by building an eco-friendly artist residency and arts centre right here in Canada. My artwork has been featured on national television and has graced the pages of international publications and the prestigious Saatchi Gallery. I'm grateful for the support of collectors like Jillian Harris, Sarah Baeumler, Jenna Kutcher, Andrew Salgado, Jann Arden, and Sarah Nicole Landry (thebbirdspapaya). My studio, where my children and I create, is nestled in the tranquil Canadian prairies. It's not just a space, but a sanctuary for artistic expression and shared moments of creativity.” ‍ Connect with this episode's featured artist Brandi Hofer here:  Website: https://www.brandihofer.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandihoferstudios/ Instagram/ Colour Me Happy Community: https://www.instagram.com/colourmehappycommunity/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrandiLHofer Check out Brandi's Online Portrait Class: https://brandihoferstudios.thrivecart.com/portrait-class/?_gl=1*1cjtoae*_ga*MTQ1NzU0MjQyNS4xNzIzNzY1OTcx*_ga_05JXSG6TKL*MTcyNDc1NjYwMi4zLjEuMTcyNDc1NjcyNS4wLjAuMA..   Listen to Brandi interview Sara on her podcast: Colour Me Happy: https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/giving-yourself-permission-to-create-overcoming-imposter/id1549968568?i=1000666358155   Things mentioned during the episode: Movie: Atomic Habits Music: Feist The Art Queens Society: https://www.artqueens.co/   Follow I Like Art Podcast on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ilikeart.podcast/ Watch the latest I Like Art Podcast Interviews on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ILikeArtPodcast    Find Sara Glupker- Podcast host here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraglupker Website: https://www.saraglupkerart.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraStrongGlupkerArtist

Welcome to episode 74 of I Like Art Podcast with a very special interview with Katie Lila of the newly-released show Follow the Blooms as aired on BloomTV. In this episode, hear host Sara Glupker and Katie Lila chat about how following her artist-heart lead her on the path to making interactive art displays out of fresh flowers and then making the show Follow the Blooms. Each episode features a special floral installation at a local event. Here, Katie features a local flower farmer and local artist and they collaborate to create stunning floral installations for these events. You will love this episode and feel energized and inspired by this electric conversation!  Thank you so much for tuning in to this week's episode and please check out all of the links below to get to know Katie Lila more, discover the show, and find ways to connect.  A note from today's featured artist: “I've been sharing flowers with people for the last 20 years. I'm committed to using locally grown blooms whenever possible and hope to be a bridge between the everyday flower lover and our local flower farmers here in Spokane Washington and wherever else the blooms take me.  During college I started taking classes, working in flower shops, and learning from a myriad of talented designers. Eventually, I had my own successful floral event company while raising babies and helping support my husband through medical school because even a full plate looks better with some flowers.  Over the years I became curious about what else I could make with flowers. This led me to designing large scale flower art. The process was so compelling that I decided to capture it on film and share it in the series Follow The Blooms now streaming on the Bloom TV Network.  Flowers are a funny thing, right? On one hand they grow right out of the dirt, even from cracks in the cement. On the other hand, they are a luxury item that many do not have access to or simply can't afford, especially curated large-scale flower design. I hope to change that and help more people experience the beauty and joy of flowers as art.  I love creating with flowers and am excited to see where the Flowers for People story goes next. I'd like to be a part of the ongoing flower conversation with those who craft and share it… one stem at a time.” - Katie Lila   Enjoy a free month's subscription to Bloom TV by clicking on this link: https://bloomtvnetwork.com/pages/follow-the-blooms-lp?via=katie-lila    Connect with this episode's featured artist Katie Lila here:  Website: https://www.flowersforpeople.co/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flowers.for.people/ You can watch this podcast interview here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zc2cpP8TKv8    Things mentioned during the episode: Denise Gasser, artist: https://www.instagram.com/denisegasserart/ Book: The Bible Book: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert   Follow I Like Art Podcast on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ilikeart.podcast/   Find Sara Glupker- Podcast host here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraglupker Website: https://www.saraglupkerart.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraStrongGlupkerArtist

  Welcome to episode 70 of I Like Art Podcast! Host Sara Glupker is honored and so excited to share this interview with her former college Professor Cat Crotchett of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Learn about how Cat Crotchett pursued her calling for art, how she balances her time in the studio, being a full-time professor, motherhood and life, and hear her advice for anyone who is considering a career in the arts. This conversation will not only help you learn more about this incredibly talented contemporary artist, but it will also inspire you to follow your creative pursuits and honor those creative nudges.  Thank you so much for tuning in to this week's episode and please check out all of the links below to get to know Cat more, see her amazing art, and find ways to connect.  About the artist: Cat Crotchett has been a professional artist for over 30 years. In her paintings, she uses patterns to vividly represent human emotions and experience, and to convey not just beauty but tension. Her current work represents an intersection of information, emotion and physical limitations. The patterns and colors inhabit spaces that are similar, but not the same- suggesting multiple realities in the same composition. Each composition is engaged in some form of conflict, suggesting our shared moment in American history, our creative resilience, and transformative struggles.  Cat has been a regular presenter and instructor at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and has taught painting workshops in the United States and in Indonesia.  Cat earned BFAs in Painting and Art History from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and an MFA in Art from Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio. She has an extensive exhibition record that includes solo exhibitions at Vanderbilt University, the University of Illinois Chicago, the Maryland Institute of Art and Barbaran Segaragunung Gallery in Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia. In addition, she has a considerable record of international and national group exhibitions, has been recognized through various grants and has been a fellow at several artist colonies- including a 2022 Golden Foundation for the Arts experimental residency. Her work is represented in numerous private and public collections. She was the 2021 Distinguished Faculty Scholar at Western Michigan University, and 2015 College of Fine Arts Roehrick Distinguished Professor also at WMU. She teaches painting in the Gwen Frostic School of Art. Cat lives and works in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is represented by Addington Gallery in Chicago, IL.    Connect with this episode's featured artist Cat Crotchett here:  Website: https://catcrotchett.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cat.crotchett Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catcrotchettart/   You can watch this podcast interview here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yoFxID_g20s    Things mentioned during the episode: Kalamazoo Art League: https://kalamazooartleague.org/   Follow I Like Art Podcast on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ilikeart.podcast/   Find Sara Glupker- Podcast host here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraglupker Website: https://www.saraglupkerart.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraStrongGlupkerArtist

Courage to Create. Interview with Artist Margot Dermody, Part 2 Tune in to this Part 2 episode of the I Like Art Podcast's special interview with artist Margot Dermody. In this episode, we learn about how Margot uses courage to be creative. She talks about her life before becoming an artist and how she has moved forward since her traumatic life event - being a survivor of a car kidnapping (as she talks about in the Part 1 Episode/Episode 39). Margot takes us along her life journey into becoming an artist and how she seeks happiness in her life every day. We hope you love hearing this part two episode as Margot talks about moving from the darkness and into the light and living life with courage every day. If you haven't tuned in to Margot's Part 1 Episode/Episode 39: “Creativity Saved My Life- A Survival Story” we hope you do so!! This episode is heavier in content but we hope that through sharing Margot's story, it could potentially save lives. Margot Dermody is an artist living in Pittsburgh, PA. Born in Maryland, she was exposed to art and science at a young age through her mother, an artist, and her father, a mathematician. She received a B.A. in Economics and an M.P.S. in Hotel Administration, both from Cornell University. Margot has lived and worked in San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Nashville. Growing up, she moved from Maryland to upstate New York, and lived in Rome when she was 12 years old, where she learned Italian. Margot has been exploring and making art for more than 30 years. As a child, she had a passion for ceramics, photography, cooking, sewing, and performance arts. Primarily self-taught, she works in acrylic on canvas, wood, and paper as well as in mixed-media with photography, collage, oil, found materials, and most recently glass. Margot's work includes elements of nature and emotion in a palette that varies from vibrant to monochromatic.

Interview with Canadian artist Aggie Armstrong  Follow your dreams and live your life! Tune in to this week's episode as we chat with Canadian artist Aggie Armstrong as she talks about her journey of leaving the corporate world and following her passion for art. Aggie talks about her work and her latest venture “Perennial Palettes”- where she creates an artistic experience for all by offering visits to her rural farm/gardens and teaches watercolor painting and showcases the benefits of creating. Aggie Armstrong is known for her multimedia work that explores various states of female consciousness. Through every piece, Aggie's work serves as a record of her feelings and memories of the intersectional female experience. By combining clever compositions, hand-stitched embroidery, and vivid colours, her audience is attracted to the punchy canvases immediately, and encouraged to think beyond their initial impressions to a deeper meaning of the work. Aggie's collaged references to various states of the human (female) psyche allow her viewers to share or relate to the familiarity of the narrative provided, and feel seen.
