Building an art career with intention doesn't always start with a plan. Sometimes it starts with a gut feeling that something isn't working. That was true for Noelle Phares, who left behind a structured science career to follow her creative instincts—eventually leading to a solo museum exhibition and a thriving, self-directed art business. In this episode (part 1 of 2), host Alyson Stanfield talks to Noelle about how she transitioned from environmental data science into full-time painting, and how her rigorous research background continues to shape her studio practice. The conversation centers around 2024 solo show Tracking Time at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art—how it came together, what she learned from the proposal process, and why she approaches every exhibition as a fully developed project. She also shares her mindset around selling art, connecting with collectors, and painting for impact. This conversation is rich with insight about: Leaving a traditional career to follow a creative calling. The research process behind Tracking Time and why Noelle selected 7 distinct locations along the Colorado River. Working with museums and curators while maintaining your artistic voice. Designing exhibitions that tell cohesive, layered stories. Balancing environmental messaging with visual beauty to draw people in. Creating work that connects with buyers and retains meaning. Noelle's blend of structure, vision, and heart makes this an inspiring listen for any artist seeking to step into a more intentional, expansive chapter. Stay tuned for part 2, where we'll dive into how she structures her business, manages a team, markets her work, and approaches gallery relationships.

To the north, about 45 minutes away is Rocky Mountain National Park and to the south/southeast is Golden and Denver.Fantastic skiing exits 90 minutes away with half a dozen world class ski resorts nearby.Boulder is home to the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state's largest university. The city frequently receives high rankings in art, health, well-being, quality of life, and education.Boulder was a popular hippie town in the 1960s and re-invented itself as an affluent outdoorsy town, but it's still very rooted in its hippie traditions.” Travel Brats asked: “Who lives there? What’s the environment like?”Today, there’s lots of organic, natural items, as well as a number of breweries, and lots of great restaurants. “I like to say all the hippies had to grow up and wanted education and outdoor recreation for their children.Additionally, there are world class road cyclists, skiers, and climbers that call Boulder home. Both NOAA and NIST have sites in Boulder and most recently, many tech companies have moved to Boulder and even Google has a large campus in town.”Travel Brats asked: “What are the best things to do there?”Suzi said: Lots of road biking - anywhere on the Front Range as well as climbing into the mountains.Lots of mountain biking - generally one must go up and then come down. Single track and dirt roads.Lots of climbers - seek out Boulder to climb year roundLots of hiking - can be either flat or up the mountain. Lots of trails from Golden to Lyons. Climbing the Flatirons from Chautauqua http://www.protrails.com/trail/138/boulder-denver-golden-fort-collins-lyons-flatiron-1 is a favorite tourist To Do.Travel Brats asked “ What are more things to do along with the best hikes in Boulder?Suzi said: Tour of Celestial Seasonings http://www.celestialseasonings.com/visit-us/tea-tourEtown - NPR radio music show https://www.etown.org/Boulder Theater - (Art Deco theater from 1930’s) can be any show https://boulderdowntown.com/go/boulder-theater?gclid=CjwKCAjw5Kv7BRBSEiwAXGDElW339gTT1JaR8sxfRxdetjjm9klXVuN98R2PTL5iVDOE8mPRcpcfNxoCPn8QAvD_BwEFox Theater - music venue - divine https://www.foxtheatre.org/Chautauqua Auditorium - any music or show or reading venue https://www.chautauqua.com/happenings/venues/auditorium/Eldorado State Canyon Park - south Boulder https://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/Parks/eldoradocanyonFiske Planetarium - on CU campus https://www.colorado.edu/fiske/Favorite Bookstore - Boulder Bookstore on Pearl Street https://www.boulderbookstore.net/Rent a bike - great bike paths, road riding, and offload ridingDanshabe Tea House - good food & historic https://www.boulderteahouse.com/Farmer’s Market - Saturdays 8am-2pm and Wednesday evenings 4p-8pColorado Shakespeare Festival - June-August on CU campus - 2 venues https://cupresents.org/series/shakespeare-festival/Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art https://bmoca.org/Bolder Bolder - 2nd most populous 10K on Memorial Day https://bb10k.bolderboulder.com/Boulder Creek Festival - Memorial Day weekend https://bouldercreekfest.com/Open Space Trails https://www.summitcountyco.gov/105/Open-Space-TrailsSuzi continued on to say: “What you find in Boulder is that everybody does everything meaning most folks do hike, bike, ski, climb, and anything else outdoors.

Continuing our exploration into the umbrella of environmental art, in this episode Andrew speaks with artist, Aviva Rahmani, who creates public, site-specific art to fight off land developers. Focusing on her series, Blued Trees Symphony, Aviva explains how her approach incorporates community, creativity and legal theory to protect natural landscapes. She also touches upon her belief of our community being in a time of "eco-suicide," and where she identifies her art in the umbrella of "environmental art."-About Blued Trees Symphony- The Blued Trees Symphony is an ongoing, site-specific land art project wherein Aviva Rahmani and collaborators convert threatened lands into art pieces. The hope is that by having them protected by the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA), Aviva can the prevent the use of eminent domain to seize lands for pipeline construction where the artworks are situated.The first iteration of Blued Trees Symphony emerged on, June 21, 2015 in Peekskill, New York. It is now installed over many miles of proposed pipeline expansions, and each 1/3 measure of those miles has been copyrighted for protection.
