See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comOriginally from Zurich, Maja was always keen to leave Switzerland and with an Italian grandmother perhaps Italy was always going to be her destination. She moved to Italy in 1991.She speaks to us about how her approach to work has changed. When she was young she liked seeing the impression her hands made on the work, while now she seeks smoothness and perfection.We meet Maja at her home - Artists Hill - an old farmhouse, surrounded by olive groves and a huge vegetable garden, which she has renovated into a home, studios, and a part that she rents out.First Maja shows us the room where she draws, and then we move over to her new modelling studio, opposite the house.In the middle of this room, towering above her, is a spiral column. It's a plastercast - soon to be realised in acrylic resin and earth.Maja tells us about a bas relief project in 16 panels called dressing. The question she originally posed was, “Can we change religion like clothes or is religion something inherent to us, you know, is it like part of us?"One of Maja's first pieces was Extension of Ego and now it takes pride of place in her studio. Maja still loves it and it represents the theme she still develops of externalising human traits in her work.Labrynth is another of Maja's pieces that follows the theme of a body's outside reflecting what is inside.majathommen.chinstagram.com/thommenmaja

courtesy of Ruiz-Healy Art, New York / San Antonio Nicolás Leiva is renowned for his exuberant sculptures and paintings that capture various expressive personal visions. Vessels, boats, abstract forms, flying carriages are transformed into ceramics in an explosion of lush primary colors embossed with metals like silver and gold. Animals and vegetables commingle in a garden of flowers amidst otherworldly places of shelter, are replicated as box-like reliquaries, and plate-like medallions in miniature close-up show territories transitioned from his works on paper. His imaginative world unfolds in infinite realms like a Möbius strip. Highly gestural, organic, or geometric, Leiva presents a host of archetypes in his emblems of flight, safety, and delight. Born in 1958 in Tucumán, Argentina, Leiva graduated from the Fine Arts School of the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. He continued his studies in Buenos Aires and moved to Miami in 1990. In 1996, he extended his practice to sculpture and ceramics. He lives part-time in Faenza, Italy, where he works with a variety of materials at the workshops of Ceramica Gatti. His work is the subject of the 2005 monograph Nicolas Leiva: The Fire of Self and Multiplication with scholarly text by Ricardo Pau-Llosa and Mariza Vescovo published by Bandecchi & Vivaldi in Italy. He has had many important solo and group exhibitions in the US and internationally, notably his 2023 solo exhibition, Historia de un día, Museo de Bellas Artes Laureano Brizuela, Catamarca, Argentina. Leiva was recently selected for the 2023 Miami Individual Artist (MIA) Grant, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs in Miami, FL. His works are in the permanent collections of the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA); The Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana; the Berardo Collection in Lisbon, Portugal; the Gollinelli Collection in Bologna, Italy; and the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale in Florida.

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Anna Villa-Bager. The two talk about the origins of Marble Jam's distinctive name, the strategic steps Anna took to build a robust nonprofit, and the comprehensive programs that Marble Jam offers, including various creative arts therapies and digital arts. In this episode, we discuss: How the idea began with the creation of a children's television show named "Marble Jam," which was creatively inspired by character initials and led to a broader mission after personal experiences. Marble Jam's development and expansion from one signature program to a large facility with numerous creative arts programs and therapies. The power of building relationships played a crucial role in starting and growing the nonprofit organization. Stories of growth and development in participants through Marble Jam's programs, focusing on children and adults with special needs. Resilience, flexibility, and the importance of surrounding oneself with knowledgeable individuals to make a difference in the community. The importance of purpose in nonprofit work and how it sustains and motivates staff and leadership within Marble Jam. Anna Villa-Bager, Founder /President of Marble Jam Anna's experience in the entertainment industry spans over twenty years in all aspects of entertainment, including corporate show production, from initial concept to completion, music and book development, costuming, casting, and choreography.
