New artwork is cropping up all over the office at BUTTHED, And Carly and Lewis become fascinated by one painting in particular. Why does this famous piece of art feature a guy giving a pineapple to a King? Carly explores the mystery by going back in time to England to find out why a pineapple would be a piece of art... and if pineapple is really a suitable pizza topping.

Cathy and Todd discuss Billy Elliot (2000), the British film set during the 1984–85 miners' strike about a working-class boy who secretly pursues ballet while his community expects him to box and follow the rigid rules of masculinity. Using the film as a lens, they also discuss the documentaryLouis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere, exploring how ideas about what boys “should” be, tough, unemotional, traditionally masculine, continue to shape conversations about gender today. They discuss the cultural impact of Billy Elliot, from its eventual transformation into the hit Elton John stage musical to the way the story challenges assumptions about masculinity through Billy's passion for dance and his friendship with Michael. They also reflect on the powerful Swan Lake finale, where Billy's final leap onstage becomes a symbol of freedom, an image of a boy stepping beyond the expectations of his community to become fully himself.

Quick corrosion, long-lasting engines, and mobility mods are on tap for this episode. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full episode notes below: Patrick is looking for the right fit on a potential aircraft purchase. He had a shoulder replacement and lost some mobility in his right shoulder. He's wondering if he could get an accommodation on things like flap controls. Paul suggests he look for an older Cessna with the progressive flap switch, not the one with pre-selected detents. The hosts thing that up/down progressive switch would be a minor alteration and just a few wires. The pre-select flap lever is probably a major alteration and a lot of work because there's a lot going on behind the panel. Jeff has a Maule M7 on floats and is battling corrosion. Recently he did a salt water landing, sat for about 3 hours in the water, flew home, and his left main gear didn't rotate as he landed. He saw that the main forks had a bloom of corrosion that froze the wheel. He washed everything in fresh water, and then next day saw a bloom on the other gear as well. He is wondering if he had a stray current given how quickly it developed. Mike thinks it's unlikely because if the battery if off it's completely isolated from the rest of the system, meaning their shouldn't be a way for the battery to provide electrical current anywhere on the airframe. Lindsay recently purchased a Piper Lance and wants to make sure she keeps the engine going as long as she can. They go over the basics and make sure she is boroscoping the cylinders, fly it regularly, etc. Mark is wondering how soon is too soon to put in cowl plugs after flying. He has a Cessna 206 and he's wondering if he can put in the cowl plugs right away. The concern is about the plugs, not the engine, Paul said. The hosts all agree that he's fine to seal the cowl off as soon as he likes.

When most think painting its likely fresh walls, new colors, and that satisfying “out with the old, in with the new” feeling. But Mike Stutte of Smith Painting & Services will tell you there's more going on. Informing the homeowner what they might not know and what to expect. That understanding often starts on the outside with exterior painting.

Hiring a sales rep can help you grow faster.It can also create a mess if you do it too early or without the right systems in place.In this episode, we break down what painting business owners need to get right before bringing on a sales rep: when the timing makes sense, what responsibilities the role should actually own, how to structure compensation, and why your first rep should be more than just an order taker.We also get into one of the biggest mistakes owners make: hiring before they've documented the process, built a real onboarding system, or defined what success looks like.If you're trying to decide whether it's time to hire, or you want to avoid an expensive mistake, this episode is worth the listen.
In this new Book Talks episode, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen is back to help me review a new art book: Jack Whitten: Notes From the Woodshed, Edited by Katy Siegel for Hauser & Wirth. Equal parts profound, strident and hilarious, Jack Whitten's (1939-2018) 50 year studio log packs a wallop. And it's meaty at 581 pages, so we had lots to discuss! Stick around to hear some sage advice, inspiring tales of studio experimentation and even some positive affirmations from this incredible painter and sculptor.Links to shows, videos, articles mentioned:"Jack Whitten: The Messenger" Exhibition at MOMA 2025"Jack Whitten: Ready-nows" Two Coats of Paint BlogXerox PARC Artist-in-Residence (PAIR) programJack Whitten – ‘The Political is in the Work' by TateShotsJack Whitten: An Artist's Life | Art21 "Extended Play"Uncovering Jack Whitten's mysterious abstractions | HOW TO SEE (MOMA)Artists mentioned: Willlem DeKooning, Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Barnett Newman, Franz Kline, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Ron Gorchov, Sol Lewitt, Frank Stella, Caravaggio, Berrisford Boothe, Kerry Downey, Amy Sillman, Jake BerthotWhitten works mentioned: "The Messenger: For Art Blakey," "Homecoming: For Miles," "Black Monolith 2: Homage to Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man," "Head IV Lynching," Homage to Malcolm," "King's Wish (Martin Luther's Dream)," "King's Garden," The Slab Paintings, "Asa's Palace," Gray Paintings, Greek Alphabet Paintings, "Dead Reckoning I," "9-11-01," "Apps for Obama," "Nine Fire CDS: For the Fire Spitter (Jane Cortez)," "Zeitgeist Traps (For Michael Goldberg)," "Quantum Wall VIII for Arshile Gorky (My First Love in Painting)," "Crystal Palace: For Jeanne Siegel"Philosophers Jack loved: Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Taha Hussein (Egyptian, Arab Renaissance), Friedrich Nietzsche, Slavoj ŽižekOther artist logs: Day Book by Anne TruittThe Andy Warhol Diaries Edited by Pat HackettPhilip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures and Conversations Edited by Clark Coolidge Agnes Martin: Painting, Writings, Remembrances Edited by Arne GlimcherWhere to get the book:Hauser & Wirth , Abe Books, Thrift Books, Ebay, AmazonPlease find Mandolyn Wilson Rosen online here: mandolynwilsonrosen.com and IG @mandolyn_rosenThank you, Mandy!

Welcome back, loves!The male gaze didn't begin with film, it was already centuries old by the time cameras appeared. In this episode, I trace how powerful patrons, religious institutions and elite collectors shaped beauty standards through the paintings they commissioned. From reclining Venuses to carefully staged portraits, these images didn't just depict women, they trained viewers how to look at them. But when women finally entered the art world and began painting themselves and each other, the visual language started to shift.By the end of the episode, you may never look at a painting, a movie scene, or even your own camera roll quite the same way again.Are.

Cash flow is the number one reason businesses fail—even profitable ones. Luis Serrano, Founder of Serrano Bookkeeping, joins the show to discuss why trades businesses struggle with cash flow and how to fix it. From understanding the stress in-house bookkeepers face to implementing practical strategies for maintaining 2-3 months of operational capital, Luis shares insights on breaking the cycle of being "profitable but broke." Plus, NCG Business Coach Kathryn Freeman weighs in on real-world cash flow challenges, including the dangers of making financial decisions based solely on tax benefits without considering cash flow implications.Today's Podcast is brought to you by PaintScout
A great story is truly timeless. However, since “A Question of Price” is pretty mid at best, we're giving it a little less than 90 minutes. In our newest side quest, we're returning to the world of Witcher comics to discuss Dark Horse's adaptation of the Andrzej Sapkowski short story, determining if this recent graphic novel has anything new to offer besides some pretty art. (In fairness, it's VERY pretty art.) Does the story that introduced The Witcher's Law of Surprise still hold some surprises of its own? Does the return of “Headband Geralt” hit differently after Crossroads of Ravens? And does Calanthe bring that milf energy and thirst for Geralt that she has in other versions of this story? Sharpen your swords and don your doublets, we're returning to Cintra!
Send a textLeadership speaks long before you say a word.Every day in your school, you're painting a picture of what leadership looks like. Your staff may not remember every meeting or every message, but they will remember how you showed up when things were difficult.Scripture often teaches through imagery. In Psalm 1:3, we see the picture of a leader who is “like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.” A leader who is steady, rooted, and fruitful.Your calm in chaos, your patience with struggling teachers, and your faith during hard seasons all paint a picture others begin to follow.Colossians 3:23 reminds you to work with all your heart, as working for the Lord.So here's the reflection for today:What picture is your leadership painting right now?

In this episode of Zen Pop Parenting, Cathy and Todd dive into the iconic 1983 film Flashdance and explore why its story still resonates decades later. Beyond the unforgettable soundtrack and legendary dance scenes, Flashdance captures something deeper about ambition, identity, and the courage it takes to pursue a dream. Cathy and Todd reflect on how Alex Owens' journey speaks to the universal desire to express ourselves, challenge expectations, and believe in our own potential—even when the path forward feels uncertain.

Finished your painting and wondering, "now what?" These next steps protect it, professionalize it, and help you actually sell it. So many artists stop at the last brushstroke and miss the steps that turn a finished painting into a sellable asset. In this episode, I break down the exact workflow I use after the painting is dry. We cover the studio basics, and then move into the part most artists forget about: letting people know the painting exists! Because collectors do not buy from "here's a pretty picture." They buy from a connection. They buy a story. And if you hide your prices or make it confusing to purchase, people will assume they can't afford it and keep scrolling. Your painting is finished, but your process isn't. Let's do the next right steps so your art can live in the world, not die in a studio corner.

Mike and Trey Farley host the Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast and interview Scott Beverly of Signature Illumination Designs, a Dallas-based exterior lighting contractor providing turnkey design, installation, and lifetime servicing for bold residential lighting. Scott explains how professional lighting differs from DIY kits by using symmetry, layered uplighting and downlighting (“moonlighting”), and depth beyond pools to reveal property boundaries.

They've attended EVERY IFA Convention Since 1993 — Here's Everything They Know About Franchise PR
The Whitney Biennial is here. That would be the Whitney Museum's big curated show which every two years brings together dozens of artists, always closely watched by critics and public as a statement about what is important now in art. Hot on its heels, next month, MoMA PS1 is staging "Greater New York." That event happens every five years, bringing together dozens more artists to take the temperature of art in New York. Taína H. Cruz, my guest today, is featured in both these shows at once. For the Whitney, she is even, in a way, the face of the show: a work by Cruz, a green-tinged close-up painting of a grinning child, called I Saw the Future and It Smiled Back, is blown up on a billboard outside the museum in the Meatpacking District. This is a lot of attention for an artist who is relatively young, born in 1998, and just getting her MFA from the famed Yale School of Painting last year. She's worked in a variety of media, but is known now for paintings, often featuring images of Black female figures with a moody, woozy, sometimes unsettled or unsettling atmosphere. Sometimes Cruz works in suggestions of African American and Caribbean folklore, or intimations of horror and fantasy. Sometimes, she's played on the images of celebrities like Halle Berry or Tyra Banks. Sometimes she reworks her own personal photos of neighbors from New York. Since Cruz is an artist that the curators of these big shows are looking to, art critic, Ben Davis, wanted to get a sense of the influences—from art and otherwise— that are shaping her approach to art, and what she makes of all the attention.

This week, we're stealing a couple hours of your time to discuss The Rats: A Witcher Tale, the prequel movie that dropped at the same time as Season 4 and is designed to be watched after it…despite taking place well before. (The Witcher's up to its timeline shenanigans again, it seems.) Paired with the perfectly-themed Master of the Thieves Guild Blended Bourbon by Quest's End Whiskey, we keep things loose, lively and liquidated as we unpack the plots—meaning both the film's narrative and the Rats' plot to steal loads of cash—and try to figure out just what happened to this thing behind the scenes. Also, we come out in favor of bathing with a drunken Dolph Lundgren, debate the role of cephalopods in sex dens and reveal why when it comes to spider women, most movies just like to tease.
In celebration of Women's History Month, this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and MassPotential's Mary Tamer speak with Roxana Robinson to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of Georgia O'Keeffe, the pioneering artist often called the “Mother of American Modernism.” Drawing from Robinson's 1989 biography Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life, she traces O'Keeffe's life from the farmlands of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin to the bustling cultural landscape of early 20th-century New York City and to North Central New Mexico. The artist's reverence for natural landscapes, color, and light was shaped by her rural Midwestern upbringing and formal artistic training in Virginia. Robinson explains how O'Keeffe's stark transition to city life is reflected in her artwork, which often explores the line between modernism and traditional landscape painting. O'Keeffe's personal and professional relationship with celebrated photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz marked another major turning point in her life and career. While Stieglitz championed her artistic talent, O'Keeffe also became the subject of more than 350 of his photographic portraits—some sparking public acclaim and controversy, while also helping shape her carefully constructed public image. Ms. Robinson further explores O'Keeffe's most famous works including Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue and Ram's Head, White Hollyhock – Hills, as well as her large-scale, magnified floral paintings, Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 and Red Canna. From O'Keeffe's early abstract experiments to her late-life desert visions, Robinson shares how the artist's expansive body of work reshaped American art and left a legacy that continues to inspire artists, scholars, and students in the 21st century. She closes with a reading from her book Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life.

This week on Talking Apes, we record on site in the rainforests of Cameroon at Ape Action Africa's Mefou Sanctuary, where art and primate conservation intersect. Our guest is primate portrait artist Robin Huffman, who left a career in New York City interior design to become a full-time sanctuary volunteer and internationally recognized wildlife artist.Robin first arrived at Ape Action Africa in 2007 after raising funds, taking French lessons, and stepping far outside her comfort zone to care for orphaned primates. What began as volunteer work repairing sanctuary signs unexpectedly evolved into a calling. Today, she is known for her enormous, lifelike primate portraits that capture not only the detail of fur and eyes, but the personality and story of each individual she paints.In this conversation, Robin shares how she left behind what she calls the golden handcuffs of corporate life to dedicate herself fully to primate welfare. We talk about painting gorilla Jenga on site during our visit, the emotional story behind her monumental Lesula portrait, and why she believes art can turn viewers into messengers for primates. It is a heartfelt, inspiring look at creativity, courage, and conservation in action.Watch the full on site filmed episode hereListen on our websiteExplore Robin's artwork: https://www.robinhuffmanart.comApe Action Africa: https://www.apeactionafrica.orgSend a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

In this powerful and intimate episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with Austrian contemporary artist Katherina Olschbaur for a biographical conversation about her life, creative evolution, and the emotional force behind her large-scale figurative paintings. Known for her psychologically charged works that blur the boundaries between vulnerability and strength, Olschbaur has established herself as a compelling voice in contemporary European painting. Born in Austria, living in New York and now exhibiting internationally, Katherina Olschbaur creates raw, dreamlike compositions that explore identity, human connection, power, intimacy, and the subconscious. Her paintings often depict intertwined figures suspended in ambiguous spaces—scenes that feel both tender and unsettling. In this episode, she shares the personal history that shaped her visual language, how growing up in Austria influenced her worldview, and the pivotal moments that defined her path as an artist. This is not a technical deep dive into materials or process—it is a human story. Chris and Katherina explore the emotional courage required to pursue a life in contemporary art, the psychological layers within her work, and the tension between control and chaos that drives her compositions. Olschbaur reflects on navigating the international art world, developing her voice, and embracing vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness. Listeners will gain insight into the inner life of a contemporary painter working today—how personal memory, relationships, and internal conflict become visual narratives on canvas. Whether you are an artist, collector, curator, or simply someone drawn to expressive figurative art, this episode offers an honest look at what it means to dedicate your life to creative truth. If you're interested in Austrian contemporary art, figurative painting, women artists in Europe, emotional storytelling through art, or the psychology behind powerful visual work, this conversation with Katherina Olschbaur is not to be missed.Katherina's links:http://www.katherinaolschbaur.comInstagram: @kat_olschbaur Some of Katherina's favorite femail artists:Artemisia Gentilesci Nan GoldinCecily BrownMaria LassnigLeonor FiniWangechi MutuUlrike Ottinger Ambera Wellmann KeywordsKatherina Olschbaur, Austrian contemporary artist, Austrian painter, contemporary figurative painting, European contemporary art, women in contemporary art, female contemporary painters, expressive figurative art, psychological painting, large-scale figurative works, modern Austrian artists, emotional storytelling in art, identity in contemporary painting, vulnerability and power in art, contemporary European painters, international art exhibitions, artist biography podcast, art world interview, AART Podcast, Chris Stafford, contemporary art conversation, visual narrative painting, fine art podcast episode, modern figurative expression, contemporary canvas work, artist life and career story, art collector interest, emerging European art voices, contemporary art discussion.

Christine Shoemaker is a Los Angeles–based conceptual painter and arts organizer, and the founder of Shoebox Arts and Art and Cake at the Brewery Art Complex. In this conversation, she reflects on building artist support systems outside traditional commercial models, restructuring a nonprofit to sustain mentorship, and expanding art journalism focused on marginalized communities. Shoemaker also discusses her studio practice, including cutting paintings off their stretcher bars and reconfiguring them into sculptural installations, as well as her long-term collaborative projects Perceive Me and Color Response. The episode examines experimentation, adaptability, and the role of collaboration in sustaining artists locally and internationally.
A Dutch museum has confirmed a newly rediscovered Rembrandt, thanks to a microscopic study that uncovered the artist’s signature touch a single, tiny brushstroke hidden like a “needle in a haystack.” The 17th‑century portrait had been misattributed for years, but experts now say it is unquestionably the work of the Dutch master. New research suggests popular GLP‑1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may slightly increase the risk of osteoporosis and gout, according to an analysis of more than 146,000 adults with obesity and Type 2 diabetes. About 4% of GLP‑1 users developed osteoporosis vs. just over 3% of non‑users a 30% higher risk and gout rates were also modestly higher. Researchers say rapid weight loss and reduced nutrient intake may play a role, though the findings are not yet peer‑reviewed.

Hey there! I hope you are having a great week. In this week’s podcast, I wanted to talk about some of the things that came up for me when I revisited John Berger’s essay, “Understanding a Photograph.” As I was preparing for a class, this essay got me excited for a podcast discussion about meaning in our work. Berger asks us, at the core of the essay, a few things. One of which is: What really gives a photograph its meaning? Before we even get to first off, one of my favorite phrases from Berger is that a photograph is a “meditation of light.” Photography is, at its core, about light—how it shapes, reveals, and transforms a scene. Love that idea. First off, I love that a photograph is the result of a photographer’s decision to record a particular moment, event, or object. This is a deceptively simple but powerful notion. As John says, if we photographed everything indiscriminately, no single image would stand out. The act of pressing the shutter is what gives a photograph its weight. It’s not just a neutral record; it’s a message. When I decide to photograph something, I say, “This time, place, person, thing matters.” Berger also makes a subtle but important distinction: a photograph doesn’t celebrate the event or the act of seeing, but rather a focus on the message about the event. The photograph isn’t about the photographer’s experience or the event’s essence. Instead, it’s a statement: “This happened, and it was important enough to record.” That’s a powerful shift in thinking. It shifts the way I want to discuss and analyze work. What was compelling about this moment? Or what is the photographer trying to communicate? When looking at others’ work, I may try to step into their shoes. What might have inspired them to press the shutter at that exact moment? The photograph uses the event it records to explain why it was made. Sometimes, the reason is obvious—a dramatic sunset, a fleeting expression. Other times, it’s subtle or even external to the image itself. Before composing, spend a moment just watching how light interacts with your subject. What story does the light tell? Sometimes, the difference between a good photo and a great one is waiting for the right light. Be patient and responsive. Not every photograph will explain itself fully, and that’s okay. Sometimes, the meaning is personal or contextual. Berger challenges the traditional emphasis on composition by comparing photography to painting. Painting is an art of arrangement (again, his words), meaning that every element is deliberately placed. Photography, on the other hand, records events that are inherently mysterious and can’t be fully explained by arrangement alone. This doesn’t mean composition isn’t important, but it’s not the whole story. Use composition as a tool to support the significance of the moment, not as an end in itself. The difference between photographing at one moment or another can change everything. He also says that, unlike painting, photography doesn’t have its own internal language (not sure I agree here, but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt). We “read” photographs like we read footprints or medical charts. The meaning is tied to the event and to what we think of or know about it, real or otherwise. It isn’t just a response to the lines and symbols within the image. Context matters and can matter a lot. When analyzing a photo, think about what’s happening outside the frame. What’s the story behind the event? Berger’s essay made me realize how important it is to know why I clicked the shutter at a particular moment. If I can’t answer that, I wasn’t truly connected to the scene. Sometimes, the best lessons come from the shots that missed, the ones I didn’t take, or the moments I missed. I can’t recommend John Berger’s Understanding a Photograph enough. It’s a collection of essays that will challenge and inspire you to think more deeply about your photography. Don’t forget to check out the upcoming chat with Jenny Hansen Das, where we start a great conversation about meeting expectations. Thanks for joining me. I hope you have a great week.
Anish Agarwal went from MIT PhD researcher to founding Traversal, an AI company building intelligent site reliability engineering agents for the enterprise. In this episode, he breaks down what it actually takes to lead an AI first company when your entire career was built inside a lab.This is not your typical founder story. Anish never planned to start a company. He was on track to be a professor at Columbia when generative AI hit and rewired his trajectory. Now he is two years into the CEO seat, recruiting top talent away from high paying jobs, and building a product at the intersection of causal machine learning and agentic systems.We get into the mechanics of that transition. How do you go from publishing papers to pitching investors? What does storytelling look like when you are convincing engineers to leave comfortable roles and bet on your vision? And what happens when you start a company without even having an idea?Anish also tackles a question the AI space is wrestling with right now. Is a PhD becoming table stakes for building an AI first company? His answer is more nuanced than you might expect. It is not the degree. It is the training. Reading the landscape, navigating uncertainty, and evaluating models with scientific rigor. Those skills separate builders from everyone else.Key TakeawaysThe best AI founders are not chasing credentials. They are leveraging research instincts to read where models and architectures are heading, and that foresight creates real competitive edges.Starting a company without an idea is not reckless if you have the right co founders. Anish and his team showed up to a WeWork every day and treated idea exploration like a research problem until the right opportunity clicked.Storytelling is the most underrated leadership skill in technical companies. Whether you are recruiting, raising capital, or explaining your product to nontechnical buyers, packaging complexity into a clear narrative is what moves people.Every decision as a founder is a bet, including the decision to do nothing. Viewing inaction as a strategic choice changes how you prioritize and how fast you move.As AI writes more code, someone has to make sure it works in production. That gap between code generation and reliability is where Traversal lives, and it is only getting wider.Timestamped Highlights(00:36) What Traversal does and why AI powered site reliability engineering is a massive unsolved problem in enterprise software(02:00) The moment generative AI changed everything and why Anish walked away from a career he loved(08:43) How Traversal found its problem without starting with an idea, and the co founder dynamic that made it work(14:29) The real advantage of a PhD in AI and why it has nothing to do with the letters after your name(19:49) Advice for PhDs entering the job market on how to position research experience so hiring managers actually get it(20:29) Two years into the CEO role, what Anish wishes he had known and the skills that matter most for early stage foundersWords That Stuck"If AI is writing your code, it has to fix it too. And right now it is only writing the code."Founder PlaybookPick a problem that sustains you for decades. Anish looks for problems that keep getting more complicated because that is where long term value compounds. If the problem has a ceiling, your company does too.Treat recruiting like a core product skill. Painting a compelling picture of the mission is not a nice to have. It is the engine that pulls exceptional talent away from safe, well paying jobs.Think of everything as a series of bets. Fundraising, hiring, product decisions, even waiting. Inaction is a bet too. Once you see it that way, you stop overthinking and start moving with intention.Subscribe to The Tech Trek wherever you listen.

Navigating the scientific method in a fantastical universe. Lit RPG. Dungeon Crawler Carl. Using a quarter of the words in your novel to explain the rules of the world like a board game manual. Jedi using their powers to boil water for tea. Enslaving Jedi to run your steam engine with their mind powers. Jedi Inflation. Two words that sound good together and now it's your name.

Talk Art season 27 continues with British painter GEORG WILSON!!! Hosted by Robert Diament.A spirit of place informs #GeorgWilson's practice. Drawing inspiration from ancient English folklore, poetry and painting, the artist depicts bountiful landscapes that exceed the natural; devoid of human presence, they are instead inhabited by wildling creatures that live harmoniously with the land. Wilson's world-building is enriched by her unique approach to texture and mark-making that unifies all surfaces, forms and beings.Painting with the seasons, Wilson's work captures the cyclical rhythm of our existence, where birth meets growth, growth meets death and death awaits resurrection. Vibrant reds and bright greens shift to vivid yellows and deep browns as the seasons turn, and the land that was once overflowing with abundance is ready to lie dormant as the year comes to an end. This new series of paintings explores the folklore and historic uses of uncultivated poisonous plants, species such as henbane, thorn-apple and nightshade that grow abundantly across the UK, that have long but frequently forgotten histories in both folk and modern medicine. Drawing on historic texts about poisonous flora, Wilson highlights the gradual erosion of plant knowledge in Britain, a process that began as early as the fifteenth century, following the enclosure of common land and the subsequent rise of industrialisation. Against Nature, a solo exhibition of new works by Georg Wilson, runs at Pilar Corrias until 7th March on Savile Row, London, and Georg's debut institutional exhibition The Earth Exhales runs until 1st March at Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh.

Filmmaker Lynette Wallworth on how nearly dying as a little girl set her on a lifelong path to interrogate out-of-body experiences, spirituality and what really happens to us when we die.When Lynette was a little girl, she had a near death experience on her grandparents' property.Her father brought her back from the brink and what she saw and experienced there, on the edge of death, came back with her.For years, Lynette struggled to talk about what happened so she made paintings and artworks trying to make sense of this experience.But when she started visiting remote Indigenous communities here in Australia and abroad, in the Amazon, that she finally found some sort of language for describing the scientifically unprovable. There, in cultures where out of body experiences are accepted as either spiritual or possible through the use of psychedelic drugs like psilocybin and ayahuasca, Lynette stopped feeling weird.Her latest film investigates how doctors in Melbourne are turning to psychedelic drugs to help ease their terminally ill patients towards death, and in the process learn that "we weren't put on earth to run around in fear".Edge of Life will be available to stream on Binge from 28 March.Currently, you can watch it via Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Fetch and YouTube.You can find more information about Lynette and her films at her website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores death, dying, grief, medical trials, shamans, hallucinogens, science, psychology, psychiatry, acceptance, palliative care, caring for the dying, nursing, art, filmmaking, philosophy, shrooms, magic mushrooms, the immortality key, religion, spiritualty, quacks, health and wellness industry, tripping, epiphanies, film.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Stella Maria Baer is a Santa Fe–based painter whose work is deeply rooted in land, light, and place. Known for her luminous depictions of moons, desert skies, horses, and wide-open Southwestern landscapes, Stella often makes her own pigments by hand—grinding rocks, dirt, and minerals into paint that quite literally contains the places she portrays. In addition to her studio practice, she teaches intimate workshops on natural pigment painting for land-based artists on her New Mexico property, creating space for people to reconnect with their creativity, their hands, and the earth itself. Stella grew up in New Mexico in a family of artists—her mother was a weaver, her grandfather a photographer, her grandmother a sculptor—and spent summers on a Wyoming ranch that shaped her lifelong love of horses and open country. Though art was always around her, she initially pursued religion and philosophy, studying questions of desire, goodness, and the inherent value of land. Painting began not as a career move but as a private, prayerful practice—drawing birds in journals to quiet a busy mind. Over time, that contemplative discipline evolved into a full-time vocation, one that ultimately drew her back home to New Mexico after years on the East Coast, where she had found herself painting the desert from memory and longing. In this conversation, we talk about that journey—from philosophy classrooms and sacred poetry to moon paintings and hand-ground pigments. Stella shares how critique shaped her work in unexpected ways, how motherhood has influenced both her art and her priorities, and the powerful story behind rescuing her horses from kill pens—animals that now carry deep personal meaning connected to her late mother. We also discuss the importance of play, silence, and being a beginner in a screen-saturated world. Stella rarely does interviews, so I'm especially grateful for her willingness to sit down and speak so thoughtfully and authentically about her life and work. It's a reflective conversation about creativity, land, faith, and following one's unique artistic curiosity. I feel like Stella and I only scratched the surface of her curiosity, land ethic, and artistic journey, so I'll look forward to having her back for another conversation in the future. But for now, I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. --- Stella Maria Baer Moon Horse Ranch Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/stella --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Central Grasslands Roadmap, The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, North Bridger Bison, and the Old Salt Co-op for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Intro and sponsor highlight 7:50 - Stella's origin story 12:00 - Art in Stella's childhood 14:35 - Zoning in and drawing birds 19:39 - Religion and philosophy degrees 21:58 - Wendell Berry and the Bible 25:07 - Responding to critiques 27:42 - New Mexico love 33:01 - Why moons? 36:07 - Importance of play 44:12 - How having kids changed things 50:54 - Stella's horses 55:28 - Stella's workshops 1:02:08 - Book recs 1:06:00 - Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
Cathy and Todd discuss The Wedding Singer and why this Adam Sandler–Drew Barrymore rom-com lived fully inside the 80's, the music, the clothes, and all that emotional earnestness. They talk about the chemistry that made it work and the unexpectedly sharp stuff underneath, and what happens when genuinely open-hearted people fall in love with each other. They get into Steve Buscemi's awesome chaotic presence and why the soundtrack sold so many copies. The Wedding Singer helped reframe the '80s as emotionally formative and it's remained one of the most loved rom-coms of its era.
