Since 2014, he has directed the Magrath Sculpture Atelier, where he also serves as Faculty Chair.

Magrath brings a craftsman's approach to sculpture, having come into art via the trades, working as a finisher, fabricator and foundryman. He also worked in college art programs for many decades, and so approaches teaching and artmaking from conceptual and maker-based perspectives. As such he seeks a marriage between elegance of concept and excellence in craftsmanship. As a teacher he seeks to demystify and make accessible to all the art making process. Magrath does both private and public commissions and has exhibited internationally.

We mark Native American Heritage Month with artist Rose B. Simpson (Santa Clara Pueblo) who discusses her work in large-scale public art, and her journey as a creative rooted in Santa Clara Pueblo heritage. Simpson reflects on her process, exploring themes of protection, generational healing, and the deep connection between her art, identity, and community.  Simpson explains how her background in Santa Clara Pueblo pottery and her experiences studying in Japan and at the Rhode Island School of Design ( RISD) have shaped her unique approach, blending cultural reverence with innovative techniques.  We talk in-depth about her recent installation Seed, commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy to mark its 20th anniversary  and funded in part by the NEA, a work inspired by both the Lenape land and Simpson's own explorations of safety and lineage, and her monumental exhibit Strata currently showing at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Simpson also discusses her automotive training and its impact on her art particularly her work  Maria--the black-on-black El Camino, symbolizing the Pueblo tradition of pottery within lowrider culture.  Simpson shares the challenges of creating art that respects cultural boundaries while pushing expressive boundaries, capturing the spirit of resilience and interconnectedness that defines her work.

Welcome to Hearts of Oak.  Our interview today features sculptor Sabin Howard discussing his monumental piece, "A Soldier's Journey," set to unveil at the National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C.  Sabin reflects on his late start in art at age 19, influenced by his European heritage, and details the nearly decade-long creation process of the 60-foot sculpture depicting a soldier's transformative experience in war.  He emphasizes the importance of traditional techniques, public connection, and the role of art in addressing collective trauma.  Sabin also notes the challenges faced during production, including logistics impacted by COVID-19, and is working on a documentary and a book titled "Born Cancelled."  His work aims to create accessible art that resonates with universal themes and honours veterans while reflecting on the human condition. Sabin Howard is the sculptor of A Soldier's Journey, the sculptural heart of the National WWI Memorial to be installed in Washington DC in September, 2024. Sabin grew up in New York City and in Torino, Italy. He studied art at the Philadelphia College of Art and then earned his MFA from the New York Academy of Art. For twenty years, he taught at the graduate and undergraduate levels. He has been elected to the board of the National Sculpture Society. He has received numerous commissions and has showed his work at more than fifty solo and group shows. After 72,000 hours of working from life models in the studio, Sabin designed and created the hero's journey that memorializes the courage and sacrifice of our veterans in WWI, and in all wars, in A Soldier's Journey. He has created an illustrious body of work, including three heroic scale pieces, HERMES, APHRODITE, and APOLLO, as well as many smaller pieces. His works are owned by museums and private collectors all over the world, and they have been favorably reviewed by USA Today, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Epoch Times, American Artist, Fine Arts Connoisseur, American Arts Collector, and The New Criterion, as well as many other journals internationally. He is an accomplished public speaker and is the subject of several television profiles.

Jessica Russo Scherr is an artist known for her large-scale paintings and social media videos that demystify art making. Her paintings intertwine her love of art history, travel, memory, and motherhood in a manner that often blends represented reality to such a degree that the visuals combine into plays of abstraction. Jessica is an International Baccalaureate Art Educator who challenges her students to create large-scale paintings and to understand their work in the context of art history. As a dedicated creator and as a teaching tool, she can't help but create her paintings in the same space as her students. Her media presence is full of honest experiences of succeeding and failing using materials like Gelli printmaking sheets or more traditional art-making methods. The Fulbright Grant she received earlier in her career set her on a track of international art education and art creation ventures that continue into her life now.  Jessica lives with her two kids and her husband in Germany where she teaches at the Frankfurt International School and continues to influence and share her passion for art with others. Jessica's creative life can be followed at @bluelavaart. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestolenhourspodcast/message

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists. And we're back with Part 2 of my three-part conversation with Wisconsin-based artist, TL Solien. Today we conclude the exploration of his early (or phase 1) art practice, including a fun description of the origins of his pictographic works. We talk about his early career experiences in visiting and exhibiting in New York City and living for a time in Paris. We discuss family, and home-life, agreements, and finances, the difficulties following the art market crash, and TL's  experience entering the culture of academia. Then we come back around to the concept or self-respect, the second phase of TL's studio practice, collage, Moby Dick, building paintings towards vibration , space, implied linearity and more. As I mentioned last week, I am extremely proud of this interview, and very thankful to my guest for his patience and his willingness to share so much of life with me and the ARTMATTERS listeners. About:T.L Solien, born in Fargo North Dakota in 1949, received a BA degree in Art from Moorhead State University, Moorhead MN in 1973, and an MFA in Painting and Sculpture from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1977.TL Solien has been  invited to  participate in numerous exhibitions  of National and International magnitude including, the 1983 Whitney Biennial, the 39th  Biennial of American Painting at the Corcoran Museum, Washington, D.C.; Avant-Grade in the 80”s, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The American Artist as Printmaker,   Brooklyn Museum NY; Images and Impressions, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; and Contemporary Drawings, High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The podcast for artists. I'm particularly excited about today's episode with the artist TL Solien. Prepare yourself for an epic conversation, recorded over two separate studio visits, and subsequently over four hours of material. In light of this, I've edited this conversation down into three episodes, which will come out weekly until complete, unlike the usual bi-weekly format of the show. ● In episode 1, we get into TL's painting process and his background and education.● In episode 2, we talk about his family, his explosive early career success, and the challenges that followed the art market crash, when he was forced to seek out adjunct teaching opportunities wherever he could, move frequently, and often on his own.● And in episode 3 where i pepper him with whatever i else i forgot, including his current painting ideology and focus. Also collaging and Moby Dick. I am extremely proud of this interview, and very thankful to my guest for his patience and his willingness to share so much of life with me and the ARTMATTERS listeners. About:T.L Solien, born in Fargo North Dakota in 1949, received a BA degree in Art from Moorhead State University, Moorhead MN in 1973, and an MFA in Painting and Sculpture from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1977.Solien has been  invited to  participate in numerous exhibitions  of National and International magnitude including, the 1983 Whitney Biennial, the 39th  Biennial of American Painting at the Corcoran Museum, Washington, D.C.; Avant-Grade in the 80”s, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The American Artist as Printmaker,   Brooklyn Museum NY; Images and Impressions, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; and Contemporary Drawings, High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA.

Larry Li was inspired to create “Ask Your Ma About ‘89” after learning a harrowing story about how the Tiananmen Square protests affected his family. Free drinks, female attention, and fabulous parties are some of the upsides for super good-looking men in LA. But that's not the whole story. Germans founded Anaheim in 1857. Chinese immigrants then built much of the city and developed a bustling Chinatown district. Today, few remnants of Anaheim's historic Chinatown remain.

Robert Keating reminds us that life is long and retirement is an opportunity to become a whole new version of yourself. Robert was the long term CEO, now chairman of Topographic Inc. His company specialized in aero photography surveying oil and gas land. After running his company, Robert leaned into his creative side and became an author of his first book titled "Poteet Victory." His recent published work explores the tremendously colorful life of Poteet Victory, an American Indian who is now one of the most collected artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Keating spent an entire year studying Poteet to tell his story -- you can learn about the making of this book and the artist who is known for the highly controversial mural "Trail of Tears" on the campus of Oklahoma University. It still stands unfinished due to disagreements and discomfort about the depiction of Native American violence. The mural depicts the abuse of Native Americans during forced migration to Oklahoma. 

For almost sixty years, longtime Chinatown resident Arlan Huang has operated as an artist and collector, and amassed a large collection of work from Asian American artists while he operated his framing shop, Squid Frames.

A new exhibition at Pearl River Mart displays pieces from the collection, and Arlan Huang alongside curator Danielle Wu join to talk about the show. Just Between Us: From the Archives of Arlan Huang is on view through August 27.

On today's episode of Exploring Art Podcast myself, Yvette, and Markus discussed the life and legacy of the great American Artist, Jackson Pollock. The creator of the Drip Technique in art, a role model to many, one who struggled with many hardships throughout his life.

Australian-born multimedia artist Cybele Rowe lives on two and a half acres in Joshua Tree where she feels unconstrained to oursue whatever art ideas she wants. In her words, it's better to invest 100% of your time to strive to make good art than be spending 50% of your time making money for someone else. Her abstract work includes scuplture, painting, tufting and many other mediums. She is inspired by the scientific discoveries, litrature on psycology and phisics. https://www.instagram.com/cybeleroweart/ https://cybelerowe.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/in-the-art-scene/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/in-the-art-scene/support

What if it were possible to dream up entirely new things? Join host Charlotte Burns as she interviews one of the most interesting artists working today. American Artist — who changed their name in 2013 — produces deeply thoughtful work that is as enmeshed in digitization and technology as it is history and alternate realities. American talks about how their art tackles police violence in the US. They also discuss a newer body of work centering on the life and writings of sci-fi novelist, Octavia E. Butler. American says their work is ultimately hopeful: “If I didn't feel strongly that things could change I wouldn't even bother. But I want everyone else to try as hard as I do.”

This exhibition can be viewed on weekdays in TU's Hogue Gallery through March 9, 2023.

https://www.dunawayfineart.com   Michelle Dunaway is an American artist whose paintings are revered for their bold brushwork yet sensitive portrayal of emotions that capture the human experience. Dunaway exhibited a strong penchant for drawing the human form from a young age and that fascination has continued throughout her life and career. Her artwork has been featured in international exhibitions and publications including Fine Art Connoisseur, Art of the West, International Artist, American Art Collector, Southwest Art, and American Artist.    Dunaway's work has received numerous awards and honors including Finalist and Award of Exceptional Merit at the 2010 Portrait Society of America's International Portrait Competition for her painting Katie and Jenni -The Daughters of Jane Seymour;  a Certificate of Excellence from the Portrait Society of America in 2014 and 2017; Finalist and Award of Exceptional Merit at the 2016 and 2108 Portrait Society of America's International Portrait Competition; and Finalist in the Art Renewal Center's ARC Salon Competition 2019 winning the American Legacy of Fine Art Award.    Although Dunaway paints and exhibits a variety of subject matter, her first love has always been portraiture. After studying anatomy and drawing at Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA), Dunaway continued her painting education by attending workshops with two prominent artists with whom she has become good friends over the years: Jeremy Lipking and Morgan Weistling. Both Lipking and Weistling encouraged Dunaway to pursue a career as a fine artist when they saw her work. Upon attending one of Lipking's very first workshops, Dunaway brought a painting in for the artist to critique. Lipking and his wife Danielle decided to purchase the painting for their collection. Lipking told Dunaway she was ready to be in galleries and showed the painting to the gallery where he exhibited in Beverly Hills and they subsequently invited Michelle to exhibit.   Dunaway spent time in California painting from life extensively while showing at galleries in Los Angeles and Laguna Beach and doing private portrait commissions for local patrons. In 2009 she moved back to New Mexico, where she settled in a beautiful studio overlooking the Sandia Mountains, and was invited to show at a well-established gallery in Santa Fe. While working on paintings for gallery shows, Dunaway entered several  competitions. She won the Best of Show in an online competition for her still life Mucha and Peonies and was  juried into the prestigious Portrait Society of America's International Portrait Competition where her portrait painting of two sisters was chosen as one of 16 top finalists out of 1,300 worldwide entries. The painting was exhibited in Washington, DC at the Art of the Portrait Conference. Dunaway won an award for that painting and shortly thereafter received a phone call from renown artist Richard Schmid. Schmid expressed how impressed he was by her painting ability after seeing this portrait online and invited Dunaway to paint with him and his wife, artist Nancy Guzik, at his studio in Vermont. Through their close friendship over recent years, Schmid has advised and encouraged Dunaway in her work. "Michelle is very much a force in this movement toward excellence in painting," Schmid stated recently in his instructional video wherein he painted Dunaway's portrait.    Dunaway receives invitations to give painting demonstrations, lecture, and teach internationally and these events attract artists who travel from around the world to study with her. Believing strongly in "passing on the torch" of  knowledge in painting, she takes time from her busy schedule of shows and exhibitions to accept these invitations when possible. "It is extremely important to me that the legacy of strong painting continues for future generations," Dunaway states. "I have always been passionate about pursing excellence in my own work and constantly growing as an artist, and I feel a strong calling to help others reach their full potential as well. For me, creating great art is about putting light into the world. It is of course capturing the light that falls on a subject and translating that luminosity into the painting, but it's also about shining light whenever possible through teaching and passing on wisdom." After one such painting demonstration at the Portrait Society conference in 2015, Dunaway met and had a conversation with Richard Ormond,  John Singer Sargent's grand-nephew. He told her something that touched her heart deeply, considering she reveres Sargent as her favorite painter. Ormond mentioned he had been in the audience and watched her main-stage painting demonstration. "I have spent most of my life concerned about preserving the legacy of  Sargent's painting," he said, "but after watching  you paint I am no longer worried." That was a profoundly meaningful moment for Dunaway and a great confirmation that she was spending her time wisely in teaching, volunteering, and mentoring in the arts while constantly pursuing higher levels of skill in her own painting.   Dunaway exhibits in galleries throughout the United States, and her paintings are highly sought after by sophisticated collectors. Those collectors say that Dunaway's paintings capture much more than a likeness, that her work embodies a timeless quality and illuminates the essence of the individual. Dunaway's paintings hang in private collections throughout North America and Europe.  She is currently represented by these fine art galleries. InSight Gallery (Fredericksburg TX) , Legacy Gallery  (Scottsdale, Az and Bozeman, MT), VRFA Gallery (Laguna Beach CA) and Sage Creek Gallery (Santa Fe  NM)

https://www.marioarobinson.com Mario Andres Robinson was born in Altus, Oklahoma, where he resided with his family before relocating to New Jersey at the age of twelve. Robinson studied at the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. In 2014, Robinson was chosen to be a Brand Ambassador for Winsor and Newton art materials. He is the author of "Lessons in Realistic Watercolor," a comprehensive guide of the artist's watercolor techniques (Monacelli Press).    The work of Mario Andres Robinson fits squarely within the tradition of American painting. Robinson's finished works bear a close affinity to the masters of the realist tradition, Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Eakins. Containing few references to modern life, Robinson's work has a timeless and universal quality, and exhibits a distinct turn-of-the-century stylistic aesthetic. The images he chooses, which refer to a bygone era where solitude and reflection were abundant, also provoke frequent allusions to the paintings of Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper. Mario Andres Robinson is an Exhibiting Artist Member (EAM) of The National Arts Club, an Artist Member of The Salmagundi Club and a Signature Member of The Pastel Society of America. His work has been featured several times in The Artist's Magazine, The Pastel Journal, Watercolor Magic, American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur and on the cover of American Artist magazine. In the February, 2006 issue of The Artist's Magazine, Mario was selected as one of the top 20 realist artists under the age of 40.

April Gornik is an American Artist  known for her dynamic and powerful landscape paintings.  Gornik's large scale luminous paintings evoke moments of transience and calm, as well as volatility and eruption.  Yet, her vivid canvases are never literal, but rather imagined and emotional spaces.  While Gornik focuses on the light and colors of the landscape, her evocative use of contrasts brings a sense of aliveness and psychological drama to her work.  Gornik's fascination with light distinguishes her art, and she describes light as “the beating heart of your eyes''.April Gornik's work is included in major museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. We spoke in depth with April about her unique creative process and artistic journey -- with her professional career beginning in New York City during the dizzying, male-dominated heights of the 1980's art boom.  A longtime resident of Sag Harbor, Long Island, we also learned about April's recent efforts to revive the local Cinema, as well as co-found The Church, a non-profit artist residency,  creative center, and exhibition space.
