In this heartfelt and soul-deep episode, I open up about my evolving relationship with movement and exercise after years of body shame, self-hate, and disordered eating. I share a tender personal story involving a powerful angelic encounter and a song that arrived like a divine signpost on my path. Through the lens of healing, I explore how the term Light Warrior is helping me reconnect with my body—not as something to control or fix, but as a sacred vessel of light, strength, and love. I also read a passage from a book on Lightworkers called, Lightworker by Sahvanna Arienta that beautifully affirms this journey for me. This episode is an offering of vulnerability, spirit, and playfulness—a reminder that healing our relationship with our bodies is possible, and it all begins with love.I'm Emma Freeman, a Mixed Media Artist, Reiki Master, Psychic Medium and Teacher in Wisconsin.

In today's episode, I share a profound personal experience of connecting with a young boy in spirit named "Owl-Led" while setting up to teach a Reiki class in my healing space which is in an old historic building. I feel called to share this experience and the emotional journey of understanding Owl-Led's story, reuniting him with his mom in Spirit, and learning to trust my body to tell me this was, in fact, a real experience. I reflect on the significance of these spiritual experiences in my life and encourage others to embrace their own encounters with the unseen aspects of life. I also share a poem I wrote called, "Bodies Full of Birdcages" that speaks to my need to share these kinds of stories from deep within me. Highlights:I set a serene scene before sharing my story, inviting you to sit with me at my art table with the windows open and beagles snoring behind me. I encountered a young spirit named Owl-Led during a Reiki class I taught. Owl-Led expressed his desire to stay and connect with me.I learned Owl-Led's name through a unique telepathic experience.The connection with Owl-Led deepened as I engaged with him through kindness, curiosity, compassion and gentleness. Owl-Led revealed he was alive during the 1800s and has a very playful spirit.I introduced Owl-Led to my Reiki students, one of who could also sense him.Clementine, another young spirit, is called in to keep Owl-Led company.I facilitated a reunion between Owl-Led and his mom, leading to a very emotional goodbye.I encourage others to share their spiritual experiences with me or someone they trust which can help us feel seen, understood and known on a deeper level.

Harlem Globetrotter and award-winning mixed media artist Maxwell "Hops" Pearce joins SportsJam with Doug Doyle to talk about his amazing talent on and off the court
The conversation presented in this podcast episode with Vanessa LeVesque unveils the profound transformation of her artistic journey and the pivotal moments that shaped her into the artist she is today. Central to our discussion is the notion that the pursuit of art can be both an organic and liberating process, as Vanessa reflects on her initial hesitations about a career in the arts, stemming from societal expectations and a desire for stability. As she recounts her transition from traditional employment to the vibrant world of art, it becomes evident that her unique perspective and creative expression are deeply intertwined with her personal experiences and the challenges she has faced. Throughout the episode, we explore the significance of embracing one's individuality and the importance of finding a niche in the ever-evolving landscape of the art world. I invite you to delve into Vanessa's narrative, which serves as an inspiring testament to the power of creativity and self-discovery.In this episode, listeners are treated to the insightful and inspiring story of Vanessa LeVesque, an artist whose evolution from a conventional upbringing in Connecticut to a vibrant artistic career is both compelling and relatable. Bill Risser engages Vanessa in a thoughtful dialogue about the complexities of her early life, exposing the pressures of societal expectations and the challenges she faced in carving out her identity as an artist. Vanessa's reflections on her childhood reveal a deep-seated passion for creativity, yet an initial belief that a career in art was unattainable. As the conversation unfolds, Vanessa's journey takes several unexpected turns, including a series of uninspired jobs that left her yearning for something more fulfilling. The pivotal moment in her career trajectory is brought to light through her personal experiences, such as the debilitating car accident that forced her to reconsider her professional life and ultimately led her to the arts. This transformation is further highlighted by her creative breakthrough during the pandemic, where she produced a piece that cleverly satirized contemporary culture. The episode intricately weaves together themes of self-discovery, the significance of resilience, and the power of art to reflect societal narratives, leaving listeners with a profound appreciation for the journeys that shape us.Takeaways: Vanessa LeVesque's journey to becoming an artist was deeply influenced by her upbringing in Connecticut, where she initially felt a disconnect between her artistic aspirations and the societal expectations surrounding career choices. The conversation highlights the misconception that individuals from Connecticut are uniformly affluent, as Vanessa shares her perspective on the economic diversity within the state. Vanessa's transition into the art world was catalyzed by both her dissatisfaction with corporate jobs and a significant life event that allowed her to explore creative avenues more freely. The podcast underscores the importance of pursuing one's niche in the art field, emphasizing that artists should focus on developing their unique voice rather than conforming to trends. Vanessa's artwork often serves as social commentary, reflecting her desire to challenge perceptions and provoke thought through creativity, rather than simply aiming to please others. The discussion concludes with valuable advice for aspiring artists, suggesting that business and marketing skills are increasingly essential in today's art landscape to complement creative talent.

I had Maeve Eichelberger on today and I really like to call her just "Maeve." I think that's a good way to just brand her name, but maybe you'll hear that on the podcast. I don't remember if I talked about it in the podcast or if it was just in private, but that's the fun thing about podcast is you never know what's going to come out. Maeve and I talked about the new show she's having with Jordan K. Walker, Josh Gibson, and Whitney Gardner which is the New Young Gun show. It was fun to just kind of catch up with her on what she's doing. We talked about her new studio and some of her relationships with individuals like Barbara Van Cleve and it's always unique to discuss art with individuals that see the world differently. Maeve really does see the world in her own way on so many levels, not only the way she makes her art, but the types of media that she uses as well.She uses acrylic for her saddles and now she's making clothing based sculptures which are really interesting and something I think will be sought after when people find out what she's doing. I always have a great time talking to Maeve and I'm so happy she was able to take the time to come and do this podcast for our group exhibition, New Young Guns.

Podcast Host CJMiller sits down with mixed-media artist and empath Kimberly Morrow. The teacher and multi-media artist shares her story and explains that being an empath isn't always easy. Only through life experience has she learned to navigate her ability to sense the emotions, feelings, and energy of those around her. Sometimes, an empath takes on a person's feelings nearby, and she has to move away from them and disconnect herself from the situation. She shares the concept of energy vampires and how she distances herself from these sorts of people. As a child, she would hide from others and avoid group environments. Kim believes all living creatures have an energy field extending beyond their body. As an artist, she often monitors the proximity of those around her when she paints. If they have negative energy, she finds herself moving away from them. Kim has learned to step back from her emotions and reexamine them from a distance. CJ and Kim share the challenges of doing all-day art shows and how they can deplete empaths of their energy. When we are empaths or highly sensitive people, we must nurture ourselves. How do you take care of an empath? Kim and CJ feel that a hot bath is one of the best remedies to calm your energy down. Kim believes there is a difference depending on the salinity of the water; submersion in a lake, river, and ocean is slightly different. As Kim has aged, she's learned to appreciate and value her enhanced abilities, but most importantly, to trust them. Her highly sensitive skills are a tool for navigating life.

Podcast Host CJMiller sits down with SUNY Old Westbury Assistant Professor and Mixed Media Artist Fred Fleisher to discuss symbolism in art. Fred talks about creating art that deals with duality issues and the perceived separateness of each other. The imaginative artist shares his process and expanding practice in maintaining presence and flow when creating his 2-dimensional paintings and sculptural installations. Fred incorporates humor, cynicism, and satire into his work by combining symbolistic elements from our everyday social fabric. In essence, the artist uses humor in art to "get through the day" and deal with society's current challenges. His process includes surrounding himself with a studio full of iconic "parts," entering a flow state and combining different elements to express himself. He discovers an idea for something, works it out, and then allows some freewheeling while sketching the image. Fred uses his phone and iPad to set up his rough composition. From there, he goes to his canvas, where the idea progresses and emerges. "I allow energy to unfold and see what happens when I put disparate things together," he said. His creations include assemblage art as well as 2-dimensional surfaces. Fred sources " Spiritual Moderns: Twentieth-Century American Artists and Religion" by Erica Doss and "The Spiritual Artist" by Christopher J. Miller as inspired sources. In conversation, Fred ponders whether symbolism can stop us from spiritually communicating something more significant, while CJ ponders the opposite. As CJ prepares for an upcoming show, he struggles with not adding symbolic elements. CJ shares how many of us try to qualify our spiritual worth by whether our art is successful. We are not trying to validate our worth when we create art. Both agree that we shouldn't let our perceived identities stop us from connecting to Spirit. CJ and Fred also discussed the writing process. CJ encourages writers to get their thoughts down quickly and edit later. Fred references "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. According to Fred, creating art is a way to stop the mind chatter, the thoughts of duality, and practice presence. The podcast concludes with Fred sharing how communication, both verbally and through art, is the key to personal growth. For more information and samples of Fred's work, visit https://www.fredfleisher.net. Fred Fleisher is originally from Pennsylvania and has lived in the New York metropolitan area for over twenty-five years. After enlisting in the Army, he earned an MFA from Queens College, CUNY, a BFA in Painting & Drawing, and a BS in Art Education from Penn State University. Both nationally and internationally, Galleries have represented his work, and he has had recent solo exhibitions in Brooklyn and New York City. He has been included in several exhibitions and numerous group exhibitions while working with curators in the art world. He also organizes and curates exhibitions and is an Assistant Professor at SUNY Old Westbury. For more information on CJ and his art retreats, visit www.spiritualartisttoday.com.

This week the portraiture, mixed-media artist Diana Bittar whose large canvases convey bold, uninhibited figures reflecting the artist's new found confidence and expression. ‘I am constantly fascinated by faces, and how the personalities and thoughts of each individual inspire me to form delicate relationships with each canvas', she explains. Diana was born in London in 1974, the middle of three children—she has an older sister and younger brother. Her father Doraid is Syrian and her mother Helen, a Czech, who met while studying mechanical engineering in Prague. Diana was born during her parents' visit to London for her father who needed medical attention following the loss of a leg when the oil refinery at which he was working in Syria was targeted during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The family returned to Prague until 1980 when they moved to Syria. From the age of two, when her mother first gave her crayons, Diana has shown a natural talent for the fine details of her art. By the age of 17, despite being an introvert, she was receiving her first commissions. Meanwhile, following a chance encounter in the pool, Diana proved to be a natural swimmer and would go on to win national championships. But it was her passion for art that would eventually decide her career path. She chose to major in Visual Communications and Graphic Design at the Fine Art University in Damascus, graduating in 1995. Shortly after, she met her Syrian husband, Tarek, an orthopedic surgeon, and followed him back to California. Diana took a break from her art to raise her three sons. When she returned to her easel she changed her focus from landscapes to what she describes as Abstract Realism in Portraiture. She lives in Granada Hills, Los Angeles where she has held a number of shows in the area.

In this episode, sculptress and mixed-media artist Molly Sanger Carpenter shares her process of listening. She starts with a sketch but listens to her inner self throughout the process and lets the image unwind. The sculptress uses oil-based modeling clay to create a latex rubber mold for her delightful frames. She often reuses her molds with different subject matter and has made over 30 unique molds. She completes each frame with unique mosaic and painted features. CJ and Molly discuss how every artist has strengths in certain senses, whether audial, visual, or kinesthetic. While each of us is unique in this aspect, learning to trust the process and believe in the magic by listening to what's happening inside you as you create is essential. As a Quaker, Molly has learned to “listen to the inner light" in the art studio. Another pillar of her faith is seeing God in others. She believes God is within everyone, no matter who they are. CJ "sees God in everyone" or sees love in everyone instead. He shares his recent experience at JFK Airport, where he projected love onto every passing person. He encourages his listeners to try this practice the next time they are in public. CJ and Molly refer to Elizabeth Gilbert's "Big Magic" and the concept of a creative muse. When we follow the guidance of this inner Muse, we receive endless amounts of creative inspiration. We learn to listen to the creative impulse and get our ego out of the way. Molly recognizes that many artists are connected to where they are when they paint. She calls this a "sense of place." Is it necessary for your work to communicate that place when appealing to your client base? According to Molly, there is nothing inherently wrong with your work, whether it conveys a sense of place or not, but exhibiting it in the right place is vital. CJ classifies Molly's work as "Whimsical Romanticism," noting that it does reflect her place in Southern New Jersey: immense skies, sunsets, and wide-open spaces. The podcast concludes when CJ and Molly agree that artists reach people and can choose to "Be Love" for others. Molly Sanger Carpenter works from her Salem, NJ, farmhouse studio. Trained in classical sculpture techniques and materials, she now often incorporates elements of mixed media to create her artworks. Her current focus is creating "fine and unusual" art icons, combining sculpture, glass, paint, and 24k gold elements. Molly has her work in many galleries on the East Coast. Molly has been featured in exhibitions throughout the Mid-Atlantic and beyond over a decorated 40-year career, including many galleries and venues in Delaware, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and NYC. She has an upcoming show in Traverse City, Michigan, in the Higher Art Gallery. For more information on Molly, visit https://mollycarpenter.com.

This week we have a live recording of the panel that accompanied the textile exhibition, Belonging. Belonging is a contemporary visual art exhibition highlighting three Brooklyn artists — Kimberly Bush, Traci Johnson, and myself. Each of us creates work with fiber, cloth, thread, and other textiles.The intent of the exhibition was to bring awareness to the connection between the past and the present, as well as, revolutionary and indigenous history, and current-day issues in our community. Textiles are soft and inviting and can be used to represent a safe space for people to process their grief and their healing. During this panel, Kimberly, Tracy, and I discuss our motivations for our work and how we hope our art benefits the communities around us. I really enjoyed our discussion around craft and fine art, how we can support living artists, and how our work exists in a post-capitalist world. I also really like how you can hear children playing outside at J.J. Byrne Playground in the background.This artist panel took place at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn, NYC on February 12th, 2023, and was recorded on-site with my iPhone. Please forgive the audio discrepancies. Panelist | Kimberly Bush, Mixed Media Artist and TherapistKimberly Bush is based in Brooklyn, New York, and has over 30 years of experience.
