"To lose thee is to lose myself," John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost. But what happens when you lose both? Alma Thomas lost her teenage son to a sudden heart attack at the age of 18 and then a few years later lost herself to a stroke.Alma, an author, was given a 1 percent chance of survival by doctors. She survived and says she has thrived. Alma says in this interview that part of what drove her to write again and help people was to send the message that "cemeteries are filled with unfulfilled potential" and that she did not want to die with her "purpose inside" her.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.com.Join our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Check out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookVisit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-store/The Silver Linings Handbook is a production of BlueSky Studios LLC.See the Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and the California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Now this episode right here hits close to home. It is about two things that are near and dear to my heart: caregiving and stroke survivors. Watch and or listen to this amazing, heartfelt, inspiring conversation I had with Alma Thomas. Her testimony is so awesome! Here is a little bit about Alma Thomas in her own words: I am determined to inspire others through my journey. In 2009, I buried my only son. After that, I wrote two solo books, Dream Killers, and from The Waiting Room to the Recovery Room. A few years after the passing of my Son, the apartment complex that I lived in caught fire, Which made me homeless for a while. After that, I divorced my husband, who was a substance abuser who left me in financial ruin. And 2 1/2 years ago, I suffered a massive stroke that affected my right side. Despite all these obstacles, I have managed to rise above them all, and from my hospital bed, I encourage anyone who is going through to accept the things that they can do nothing about and be thankful for the things that you still can do. I am grateful because many people who suffered a severe stroke as I did lost their cognitive and communication skills, but I am thankful that I am still in my right mind. It's essential to motivate and inspire individuals to keep going, no matter what challenges they face. No one should ever give up on their dreams or purpose, even when faced with adversity. Remember, life may throw unexpected curveballs, but you cannot let that pause your progress toward achieving your goals and ambitions. Staying resilient and determined is the key to success, and with the right mindset, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way. Catch up with Alma Thomas at Alma Thomas on Facebook.

This site hosts audio only. To see the video of this special episode, please go to, https://youtu.be/8NdUlrhpjHkMarie is an internationally exhibited painter. Her oil paintings address the tension of urban landscape and the natural world. Inspired by frequent walks through various trails and open spaces in California, her work reveals her observations of the changes and dynamics of nature in the face of the ongoing climate crisis. Engaging notions of abstraction, her work references the surrounding landscape using atmospheric color shifts, fragmented imagery and multiple viewpoints to suggest the ideas of flux, change and instability in the environment. Marie taught painting and color theory at CSULB for 30 years, where she developed an Advanced Studies in Color class.June is a recipient of the COLA Fellowship, the Guggenheim and the California Community Foundation, Fellowship for Visual Artists.  June uses abstract painting to explore how color, repetition, movement, and balance can serve as conduits to spiritual contemplation and interpersonal connection to her African-American roots. Exploring the psychological construct of skin color or tone through pattern and abstract painting has proven to be a revealing gesture and these ideas are explored in her two ongoing series: the Energy Wheel Paintings inspired by her meditation practice and her Flag Paintings, which explore the alignment of multiple identities such as race, nationality, gender, or political leanings.  June's public art works include a Venetian glass mosaic at the Metro Pacific Station in Long Beach Influences: Marie has two main influences: first, the New York abstract school where her formalist abstract artist teachers were students of the pivotal figure in Abstract Expressionism, Hans Hoffman. That experience that has always remained with her. Second, were her teachers Elmer Bishoff and Joan Brown at Berkeley, members of the "second generation" of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Marie always loved the California painting of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud and the landscape expanse.June's influences include Varnette Honeywood, Romare Beardon, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, David Hockney and Alma Thomas. Another influence was the 1976 LACMA show ‘Two Centuries of Black American Art.' These works had a profound, formative impact upon June. Other inspiration/explorations have drawn from cultural and African American historical references, sacred geometry and very recently, the Benin emblem of the river leaf.Find more information at: www.mariethibeault.com  and www.luisdejesus.com/artists/june-edm

Episode No. 649 features artist Patrick Martinez and author Nell Irvin Painter. Dallas Contemporary is showing "Patrick Martinez: Histories" through September 1. The exhibition surveys work Martinez has made since 2016, including his Pee Chee folder-referencing paintings, cake paintings, neons, and his recent multi-media paintings which often feature stucco, paint, and neon. It was curated by Rafael Barrientos Martínez. Martinez is a Los Angeles-based painter whose work investigates socio-economic position, immigration, police violence, and civic and cultural loss. He's had solo shows at museums and kunsthalles such as the ICA San Francisco, the Tucson (Ariz.) Museum of Art, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Vincent Price Art Museums. He's been in recent group shows at the Riverside (Calif.) Art Museum, The Broad, Los Angeles, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Ark., and El Museo del Barrio, New York. Painter's new book is "I Just Keep Talking: A Life in Essays." The book features essays on Painter's experience of art school, the construction of whiteness, and a sub-collection of essays on visual culture that addresses topics such as Alma Thomas' life and career, and the exhibition "Soul of a Nation." "I Just Keep Talking" is available from Amazon and Bookshop for $30-35. Painter's previous books include "The History of White People," "Standing at Armageddon," "Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol," and "Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over." The “starting over” of the title refers to Painter's retirement after a career as a top Ivy League historian to return to college as a sixty-something student — first to take undergraduate studio art courses at Rutgers, then to pursue an MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design.

What if the art world was not just exclusive, but inclusive? What if representation and diversity were not just buzzwords but an actual reality? Today, we sit down with the remarkable Kilolo Luckett, an art historian, curator, and passionate storyteller, who takes us on an enthralling journey from her Mississippi roots to her stellar career in the art world. Kilolo opens up about her experiences in white-dominated spaces, highlighting the glaring lack of representation for black curators, collections managers, and educators. We grapple with the repercussions of this absence, emphasizing the importance of diverse leadership in cultural institutions.If you've ever wondered about the inspiring stories behind great artists, don't miss this vibrant discussion. We explore the works of artists such as Alma Thomas, the first African-American woman to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum, and Norman Lewis, who won the Carnegie International Award the same year Emmett Till was lynched. Luckett shares invaluable insights into her own journey as an artist, her artist residency, and the relationships she has cultivated with other artists. She discusses her tireless efforts in providing the resources necessary for artists to thrive and dream, reimagine, and conceptualize their work.And as if that wasn't enough, Kilolo shares her wisdom on keeping our feet firmly planted on the ground in this digital age. She challenges us to put away our digital devices and embrace traditional practices, offering advice to emerging artists that we could all learn from. We delve into her vision for the future of art, her hopes for change, and her personal definition of love as integrity and self-love. It's an inspiring conversation that celebrates art, diversity and the relentless pursuit of representation.

Alma Thomas was an amazing African American painter known for her abstract paintings with bold brush strokes that take on a mosaic quality.

The Postman is here! We got the esteemed collector Kerry Davis joining the Studio Noize fam. Kerry built his legendary collection while working 30 years as a postman at USPS. How impressive is his collection? Well, it's in the middle of a 5-year national museum tour, and he could have a whole other show from work currently up in his home. The collection includes the biggest names in Black art, from Charles White to Radcliff Bailey, Mo Brooker to Louis Delsarte. The collection alone is enough to discuss, but we go deeper than that. Kerry tells us about the relationships with those names on the wall. Mildred Thomas was his real friend; those personal stories are so great to hear. We talk about how he started touring his collection, got so much incredible work, and all the artists he met and got to know on his journey. Another great episode with that good art talk for you.

In her new poetry collection Suddenly We (Wesleyan UP, 2023), Evie Shockley mobilizes visual art, sound, and multilayered language to chart routes towards openings for the collective dreaming of a more capacious "we." How do we navigate between the urgency of our own becoming and the imperative insight that whoever we are, we are in relation to each other? Beginning with the visionary art of Black women like Alison Saar and Alma Thomas, Shockley's poems draw and forge a widening constellation of connections that help make visible the interdependence of everyone and everything on Earth.

In her new poetry collection Suddenly We (Wesleyan UP, 2023), Evie Shockley mobilizes visual art, sound, and multilayered language to chart routes towards openings for the collective dreaming of a more capacious "we." How do we navigate between the urgency of our own becoming and the imperative insight that whoever we are, we are in relation to each other? Beginning with the visionary art of Black women like Alison Saar and Alma Thomas, Shockley's poems draw and forge a widening constellation of connections that help make visible the interdependence of everyone and everything on Earth.

Ablaze with Color, a Story of Painter Alma Thomas by Jeanne Walker Harvey

Helloooooo DT fam. As the school year is wrapping up, so is Season One of the DrawTogether Podcast! (Can you believe it?? 26 episodes!) As our Season One finale, we do a big-hearted DrawTogether classic: the blind contour portrait. This is a partner exercise, so grab a family member, friend or stranger, hit play above, and get ready to learn to LOOK in under a few minutes. Because in addition to helping us imagine a world we want to see, drawing teaches us to LOOK at one another. To slow down and pay attention. I deeply believe drawing is one of the most accessible and immediate ways to create connection between people and open doors for deeper relationships. My TED talk features this drawing exercise, and goes deeper on how Drawing helps us slow down, look closely and connect with the world around us - and each other. That drawing is looking, and looking is loving. And that DrawTogether isn’t really about drawing. ;) I hope you enjoy this episode, and continue to do this exercise anytime, anywhere, with anyone. I’ve done it in classrooms, workplaces, in hospitals - I even got a bar full of strangers to draw each other all at once. It’s the ultimate humanity ice-breaker/connection maker. I can’t wait to hear what you think (and see what you see.) Do let me know how it goes. Looking back on the DT Pod for a minute: When we started this podcast 26 episodes ago, we never thought we would come so far. With the help of phenomenal editor Amy Standen, we learned about artists Alma Thomas, Agnes Martin and Ruth Asawa. We talked about the war in Ukraine and drew sunflowers to process our feelings and show our support. We drew the shape of sound with musician Colin Meloy, and visited with children’s book author/illustrator Carson Ellis. We moved our feelings through our bodies and onto the page with five finger drawings and silly emotional fruit, and made a bunch of fun imaginary animals - because why not. We drew SO. MUCH. All these DT podcasts and more are here on Substack and on Apple Podcasts. If you or your kids missed any, they are here for you over the summer. Speaking of Summer: next week I’ll share deets on what’s coming next, what subscribers will be receiving in their inboxes, all that fun stuff. Plus a recap on everything DrawTogether has done in our classrooms program (SO MUCH STUFF) and some pretty awesome partnerships we’ll finally be able to share. For now, a huge thank you so much for being part of DrawTogether. There is no DT without YOU. And as we say at the end of every class, show, podcast episode, and first podcast season (!): Drawing is Looking and Looking is Loving. Also, Everything is better when we DrawTogether. See you soon!xoxow Get full access to DrawTogether with WendyMac at club.drawtogether.studio/subscribe

While Alma Thomas worked for decades as a teacher, but she continued pursuing her art. She took classes at American University in Washington. She showed her work in group exhibitions with other African American artists. While she obviously experienced some setbacks as a black woman, her work was not taking on feminist or racial themes. Her early works in the 1950s were generally academic, realistic works and while they were fine, they didn't stand out too much. During this period though, as she was studying at American Universtiy she became more interested in color and abstraction.  In 1966 Howard University offered to put on a retrospective show of her work. She was actually considering giving up painting due to arthritis pain but with that tremendous opportunity, she wanted to produce something new. She looked out her window and was struck by the color. She watched the sunlight shift the colors on the trees and the flowers in her garden and she began working in a more expressionistic, abstract style. Ultimately, she is best known for her abstract works. Her style is characterized by mosaic like splashes of color somewhat like the impressionists, but also borrowing a bit from color field painters.  I think one of the most inspiring bits is she rose to prominence as an artist after three decades teaching (she taught junior high for 35 years). She continued pursuing her passion and demonstrated it is never too late to learn, grow and develop your talents.  In an interview in 1970, she said, “Creative art is for all time and is therefore independent of time. It is of all ages, of every land, and if by this we mean the creative spirit in man which produces a picture or a statue is common to the whole civilized world, independent of age, race and nationality; the statement may stand unchallenged.” Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

How do you go about your day? Where do work, art, rest, family, and other elements come into play? We do some relaxing breathwork, consider social media and its role in one's daily schedule, and get a glimpse of the work lives of artists Alma Thomas, Alice Neel, and Lorraine Hansberry. We conclude with a brief self-reflection exercise. Also, Sara sits on a bag of frozen cauliflower puree. Thanks to all the supporters at Patreon.com/SaraBenincasa.

Ep.107 features Marisol Teresa Martinez. Uncommon as her expression, her story begs telling. After cutting her media teeth on the moving picture, the former Vice President of Video at Atlantic Records is now finding her pulse as a visual artist whose use of color reflects a complicated, exuberant life. She is a painter who contrasts both thru color and subject matter, often spatial as well as prismatic. The unguided stillness of each shape is a meditative process individually created to compliment the other. The interconnection of shapes and colors offer insight into Martinez unique experience of the world creating a visually spiritual vocabulary. She confronts the curious, the heartbreaking and the maddening experiences of living life so close to death. Daughter of a funeral director, Martinez inherited her father's business after his passing in 2017. This familial legacy, combined with daily glimpses at the face of death, has allowed Martinez to tap into a spirituality that's become the mystical centerpiece of her work. Martinez has lived and studied in Paris, Miami and Los Angeles. Her works emerge from mornings spent at the funeral home, and afternoons and evenings spent in the studio—and their constant mingling of presences. Broader inspiration follows a family lineage of women whose creativity encouraged Martinez to express herself visually. Artist influences such as Carmen Herrera, Agnes Martin, Alma Thomas, Luchita Hurtado & Josef Albers are deeply faceted components in her process and work. In addition to painting, She earned her BBA in Design/Art Marketing from Parsons School of Design, having attended both New York and Paris campuses.

Four questions for Loveis Wise, illustrator of the gorgeous new kids book on the life of Alma Thomas

This week on the podcast,  Sadie is introducing us to a legendary and beloved artist, Alma Thomas. Although Thomas was truly an artist of every kind throughout the course of her life,  she didn't reach the art world acclaim she is now known for until after she retired. Along with her stunning work  sweeping across the world by storm at the end of her life, she also has reached major acclaim in death, her artwork being famously added to the White House collection during Obama's residence there. We discuss her early career and artistic exploration, her legacy at the end of her life, and much more!Want to check out some of our favorite books?

  We've reached the end of Season 5 and as this unbelievable year comes to a close, I'll be taking some time off to figure out what's next for the show. It's been a huge pleasure bringing you all the great stories I found and sharing the incredible variety of works in the Gallery. And talking to the occasional guest like Bruce Campbell and Sandy Bellamy was great! I think what made this season special, though, was learning with you about the incredible Black artists of the Evans-Tibbs Collection. I was familiar with Henry Ossawa Tanner and Alma Thomas but finding out about the work and life of Margaret Burroughs and Edward Loper was amazing. We really only scratched the surface, so if you want to find out more about these and other Black artists, here are a few resources: Evans-Tibbs Collection exhibition Digitized Evans-Tibbs archive items Archive of American Art Finally, I want to thank everyone at the Gallery who have provided so much help and encouragement. I'll continue to be on Instagram @alonglookslowart, so look for me there!

We'll find out how she found success at age when most people have long since retired and achieved national recognition most artists dream of. And what she had in common with Henri Matisse!

Recorded April 29, 2019 "Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power shines a bright light on the vital contribution Black artists made over two revolutionary decades in American history, beginning in 1963 at the height of the civil rights movement. The exhibition examines the influences, from the civil rights and Black Power movements to Minimalism and developments in abstraction, on artists such as Romare Bearden, Barkley Hendricks, Noah Purifoy, Martin Puryear, Faith Ringgold, Betye Saar, Alma Thomas, Charles White, and William T. Williams. Los Angeles-based artists appear throughout Soul of a Nation, and more deeply in three specific galleries, foregrounding the significant role of Los Angeles in the art and history of the civil rights movement and the subsequent activist era, and the critical influence and sustained originality of the city's artists, many of whom have lacked wider recognition. Featuring the work of more than 60 influential artists and including vibrant paintings, powerful sculptures, street photography, murals, and more, this landmark exhibition is a rare opportunity to see era-defining artworks that changed the face of art in America." - The Broad “So what's is the next step after Soul of a Nation? Is this the beginning of the retrospective for black art movements? Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963-1983 was a great insight into the artistic movements that existed during the Black Power era and serves as a visual history. Are era-based retrospectives the best way to understand the African-American contribution to the global art world? As I write this essay I think of what I've learned just by observation. The research of artworks allowed me to understand the artists' backgrounds, their materials, and how their use of them helped to change and develop the practice of artmaking. An excerpt from my research and review essay on Soul of A Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, 1963-1983 at The Broad Museum.
