Mia Bergeron's Bio Mia Bergeron is a classically trained oil painter that uses modern techniques and concepts to create layered imaginative works. Imagery in her work often oscillates between the fictitious and the observed in equal parts. Rooted in her upbringing in New York City with continuous exposure to modern art, her paintings also reveal her choice to study classical painting in Florence, Italy under Charles H. Cecil in her twenties. Heavily influenced by historical artists such as Diego Velázquez, Titian, Anthony van Dyck, and John Singer Sargent, her paintings are also shaped by contemporary artists such as Alex Kanevsky, Ann Gale, and Adrian Ghenie. For Mia, the process of making paintings is similar to meditation. Each painting is the listening and contemplating of the surrounding world. The minutes at the easel are similar to focusing on the breath- there are times when the scrutiny is welcomed and quiet, and other times when the mind is loud and unintelligible. It is this dynamic contrast that is at the center of Mia's paintings. This dualistic nature of life is what pushes and inspires her work.   Mia has been published numerous times in international magazines. Her painting “Tranquil Ghosts” was the cover image for the January 2022 Issue of American Art Collector Magazine.  She continues to teach throughout the United States and Europe. She and her husband, artist John McLeod, lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. John McLeod's Bio Living and working in Chattanooga, Tennessee, John McLeod graduated from Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi in 2001. His earliest influences come from studying ancient Mesoamerican and Egyptian sculpture and imagery.  John works with a wide range of materials and methods to explore emotional experiences, communicate beliefs in visual terms, create enigmatic situations, or simply to share beauty, pain, or both.  Featured in Beautiful Bizarre and American Art Collector magazines, his work is collected internationally.  John is currently represented at Abend Gallery. Topics Discussed In This Episode: How Mia and John originally met Their experiences living in Chattanooga, Tennessee Their newest duo show “Totems and Vessels” @ Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina Mia and John describing each of their processes Cultivating a solid relationship Creating a work/life balance in their lives How John sees the confluence between all of his vast interests and hobbies Finding a meditation practice through physical activities The joy that comes from having multiple creative outlets The anxiety of constant self-improvement Meditative qualities and subject matter within Mia's work Understanding the technical aspects of a painting in order to express more personal ideas Books Mentioned: “The Year of Magical Thinking” by Joan Didion artistdecoded.com miabergeron.com johnmcleodart.com robertlangestudios.com/shows/totems-and-vessels

Thanks for joining me for part 2 of my interview with Pam Ingalls, where we find out just how a painter who specializes in portraits is able to sell through galleries. Sounds like the "holy grail" to me! Pam's also got some fantastic product information to share. If you haven't yet listened to part 1, you may want to go back and listen to episode 31 first. And please drop me a line and let me know how you're enjoying the podcast so far. I would love to hear about what you struggle with that you'd like some guidance on so I can tailor my shows to your needs. Remember, I'm here for you, and I'm always listening.Here's Pam's bio:Pam Ingalls is thrilled by the transforming quality of light on ordinary objects, scenes and faces. Raised in Spokane, Washington, she was first inspired by her artist parents. She studied at the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy and earned an art degree from the art department that her father created at Gonzaga University in Spokane. After exploring a few side paths—among them, pursuing social justice aims and building a house—Pam returned to her true passion under the mentorship of Russian Impressionist Ron Lukas, a protege of Sergei Bongart. She has also studied with Richard Schmid and Burt Silverman. Her widely collected, award-winning work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa, and juried into more than 125 national and international shows. She is a Master Signature Member of American Women Artists, and signature member of Oil Painters or America & American Impressionists. Currently, Pam is represented at several galleries: Cole Gallery in Edmonds, WA; RS Hanna Gallery in Fredericksburg Texas; Edward Montgomery Fine Arts in Carmel, CA; Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado and Roby King Gallery on Bainbridge Island, WA.Her paintings have been featured in magazines such as American Art Collector and Southwest Art Magazine and published in several books. She lives and paints in a waterfront cabin on Vashon Island, Washington. Pam’s painting may be universal in scope, but each one is a personal statement from her heart. “I love to enter into the atmosphere of what I’m painting. When I meet a person, walk into a room, or even pick up an orange, I have a feeling about them. There’s an essence that belongs to just that."LINKSEmail: pam@pamingalls.comWebsite: pamingalls.comFacebook : Pam IngallsInstagram: pamingallsartSouthwest Art Article 2016: https://www.southwestart.com/featured/ingalls-p-feb2016Article about "Facing Edmonds": https://www.heraldnet.com/life/faces-of-edmonds-captured-on-canvas-by-artist-pam-ingalls/Studio Address:16706 86th Place SVashon, WA, 98070United StatesPam's YouTube demonstrationDavinci Paints: https://www.davincipaints.com/American Women Artists: americanwomenartists.orgREALISM LIVE Virtual Art Conference**This link is an affiliate link.

It's episode 40 so naturally we start the episode off by talking about 40’s. We then talk about our upcoming shows which leads to talk about strengthening our weak spots, before we get into talking about what everyone's talking about: Banksy’s latest stunt. We give our takes and our takes on other people's takes. We talk about the Conor/Kabib fight, what our art might sound like, recapping the Hiroshi Sato episode, our David Choe money answers, and we answer a buttload of listener questions! We talk about the two portraits that Josh did for the upcoming Abend Gallery show, then end with some random silly chit-chat at the end as we often do with the solo shows. Rate subscribe and review us!

Aaron Nagel tells about his musical beginnings and how he started painting in oils, how he works with models, his new series of paintings with cloth, fitness, long-ass audiobooks and his “love” of the fantasy genre. We talk about his “Signal To Noise” paintings and talk about narrative paintings, his fascination with form, and face tattoos. We talk about the EGO Act, get super depressed about the current administration, then talk about commissions. We talk some more about working with models and getting reference, then Josh goes off on a tangent but brings it back! We talk about supplemental income, teaching, painting on dibond and his FedEx debacle. We finish by answering listener questions, such as, what are galleries good for these days? Catch him at Abend Gallery in June!

James Adelman brings us an enlightening revelation of his process, life, the universe and everything.
