How do we think about war? How do we imagine it, picture it and explain it? Adam Rutherford hosts Radio 4's discussion programme which starts the week, asking what we can learn about ourselves from our varied intellectual and cultural responses to conflict.Sir Lawrence Freedman is one of the world's leading scholars of warfare. In his new collection of essays, On Strategists and Strategy, he considers some of the key strategic thinkers of the last century and thoughts about the significance of political calculation, military tactics, organisational behaviour, character and psychology.A new exhibition opens in March at the Imperial War Museum, London titled Beauty and Destruction: Wartime London in Art. The curator Rebecca Newell explains what we learn from the ways in which artists recorded changes to the city during the Second World War in paintings, drawings and film.The Hôtel Lutetia, the grand hotel on Paris's Left Bank, has over the years drawn bohemians and great artists, including Matisse and Picasso. However, for a short period around the Second World War, the hotel was witness to significant events. Jane Rogoyska's new book Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War peoples the hotel with the intellectual and refugees gathering there in the 1930s, the men of the German military intelligence service who made it their headquarters and the deportees returning from concentration camps.Producer: Ruth Watts

Rick Beck's modern cast and carved figurative glass sculptures are inspired by industrial and architectural works as well as the human form, with an emphasis on formal aspects. Interested in playing the volumes of mass against the rhythm of the lines, Beck enjoys the interplay of the visual versus the verbal, creating art that challenges the eye as well as the mind. Beck states: "My wife, Valerie, got me a book about the competitive relationship between Picasso and Matisse. Their artistic dialogue about the figure has fired my imagination, especially the way they shared and borrowed images and ideas from one another, as well as from history and literature. Between this book and visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, I've been inspired by the use of shape, form, and mass to create something more universal than the literal subject." A studio artist who was based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, for 30 years before moving to Hawaii in 2020, Beck began working in glass at Hastings College in Nebraska, where he received his BA. The artist received his MFA from Southern Illinois University, where he studied with Bill Boysen. He was awarded residencies at the Appalachian Center for Crafts 1989 to 1991, and in 1994 received a Visual Arts Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council, followed by a National Endowment for the Arts regional Visual Arts Fellowship from the Southern Arts Federation in 1995. A student of the Studio Glass movement, Beck has assisted at Pilchuck Glass School, assisting artists Curtiss Brock and Jan Mares, as well as at the Penland School of Craft.   Beck currently shares a studio with wife Valerie Thomas Beck in Hakalau, Hawaii. Valerie has been a designer and co-conspirator to Rick since 1984. Both artists have been artists-in-residence at Penland School of Crafts, North Carolina, (1991-94) and have also been instructors there. Their blown glass work consists mainly of vessels – canvasses for imagery based on dreams and experiences ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. These vessels document their lives while providing beauty and pleasure. Since moving to the Big Island, Beck's challenge in making glass work is two-fold. First, to create work without using fossil fuels or adding to the demand for capacity on the electrical grid. Their new studio is powered by a solar/photo voltaic and battery system. Second, to create work that excites and challenges his concepts of art inside these new energy parameters. For him, formal aspects are crucial. Beck stretches and manipulates common shapes and objects, reducing the objects to pattern and geometry. Currently, he is producing work focusing on the geometry of life, plant, and human forms.  Beck's work will be on view in 2026 at Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas, opening February 26; at Hidell Brooks Gallery, Charlotte, North Carolina, in May; at Blue Spiral 1 group show, Asheville, North Carolina; and at Ken Saunders, Chicago, Illinois. His work is also represented by Raven Gallery, Aspen, Colorado.    

March 6th is your day. This is the date that the changes to foreign buyers of expensive houses comes into play. This date, in a way, is like the LNG announcement. The idea of foreign buyers for houses isn't new. It's been part of the Government's plan ever since the Government became the Government. The LNG idea got floated in the winter of 2024, not long after the Government became the Government also. This proves one of two things - either it's hard work being in Government and things take longer than you think, or this lot aren't that flash at getting things done despite the rhetoric to the contrary. The foreign buyers rule is a righting of a horrible, myopic, narrow-minded wrong from the previous Government. House prices were never driven by Germans buying $15 million homes in Herne Bay, nor the Chinese buying $19 million homes in St Heliers. And Auckland is essentially where they were all bought. Queenstown has joined the party a bit lately. But the vast swathe of New Zealand never saw a mega purchase from a filthy, rich foreigner. Why it's important is we should see foreigners as good people who want to improve their lives, while improving ours via the improvement of the country. People who have money do things with it, like buy or build business, they invest, they grow, they employ and they pay tax. They bring knowledge and expertise and they, more often than not, fall in love with our piece of paradise and end up doing far more than they ever set out to do. I think a lot of Julian Robertson, an American who built lodges and golf courses here that bring in millions. He enhanced the place. And next time you're at the Auckland Art Gallery, go see one of his Picasso's. He gave them a fortune in art. What drives bans is envy, shallowness, fear and, often, stupidity. We have at last made it right. Yes, it will help the housing market, but more importantly it will help the country and this country needs to pull every trigger in its arsenal to fire it up. Nine years ago we were a place of pride and growth and global admiration. Labour 2017-23 destroyed that. March 6th is a small step back towards redemption and better days.

On this episode of Roqe – Iran Rises, Jian is joined by Khosro Isfahani, Research Director at the National Union for Democracy in Iran, for a clear-eyed conversation about where the Iranian revolution stands right now, what intervention actually looks like, why the United States continues to negotiate with the Islamic Republic, and what may come next under Donald Trump. The episode then widens into a panel discussion with Picasso Moin in Istanbul and Kamyar Mahinsa in Vancouver, including Kamyar's reflections from the demonstration in Vancouver yesterday, the resilience of Iranians inside the country, growing distractions and infighting in the diaspora, and whether unity is holding at the moment it matters most. Jian opens Episode 414 with a moving essay - “When they arrest the doctors, the regime tells you what it is” - examining the moral meaning of a regime that punishes doctors and medical workers for helping wounded protesters.

If you've ever taken the time to create anything that's truly personal, you understand just how it feels like a piece of you. When it's released to the world, there's a vulnerability that can make or break your creative process with just one word. Picasso created a work that transformed the world of art and introduced that world to cubism. But it took nine years and an unapproved name change before it would ever be seen. Take a few moments to sit with a couple of artists as they walk through that creative journey with one of the most controversial paintings of the early 1900s.

In this episode, we sit down with Walker Antonio, a Virginia-based Filipino-American painter whose work blurs the boundaries between the real and surreal, the physical and psychological. Working primarily on a large scale, Walker's process moves from energetic chaos to deliberate refinement—a philosophy that extends to his remarkable career trajectory. Just 18 months after graduating from Wofford College with his BA in Studio Art and Art History, Walker has built an impressive professional practice. He shares his unconventional journey from receiving the 2023 Whetsell Family Fellowship to spending 10 months at a ski resort in Germany, and how he quickly gained representation with three galleries upon returning stateside. We dive into Walker's evolving artistic practice—from large-scale figurative works exploring themes of environment and identity to experimental 6x6-inch pieces that challenge his understanding of composition. He opens up about the pivot points in his career, including creating 34 pieces in 10 days during the Foundation House Artist Residency and showing alongside Picasso and Basquiat at the Palm Beach Modern Contemporary Art Fair. As the first visual artist selected for the Kenan-Lewis Fellowship at Woodberry Forest School, Walker offers candid insights on balancing teaching, pursuing his MA in Fine Arts from Falmouth University, and managing the business side of art. He emphasizes the power of authentic networking over social media growth, the many hats artists must wear (accountant, marketer, graphic designer), and why he's chosen to avoid commissions to protect his creative vision. With solo exhibitions at Stevenson & Co. (Charleston, SC) and the Rhodes Art Center (Gill, MA) in 2025, plus upcoming shows at Sheridan Studios (Macon, GA) in February 2026 and the Baker Gallery (Woodberry Forest, VA) in November 2026, Walker's career is rapidly expanding. His work has been published in American Art Collector and Suboart Magazine, with forthcoming publication in the Penn Journal of Arts and Sciences. Whether you're an emerging artist or simply curious about the art world, Walker's perspective on treating Instagram as a living portfolio, his strategic approach to artist residencies (including his upcoming 2026 Elf School of the Arts Residency), and his commitment to "just keep going" will inspire you to pursue your creative path with intention and authenticity.

Today on the exploring art podcast, a panel of creative minds discuss what it means for art to be truly "timeless" through the guise of Pablo Picasso's masterpiece; "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". As a team, they explain what led a proficient artist like Picasso to deviate from his normal painting style into a more crude and violent drawing like the Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Along the way, conversations arise about why the painting was so negatively viewed upon its creation, and how through the passing of time, the people of Europe began to form an appreciation for it. Finally, the team begins to debate on what makes this art truly timeless and revolutionary, comparing it to other, more modern works and standards, finally ending on the conclusion that yes, this painting is timeless, revolutionary, and deserves to be remembered for generations to come.

For some collectors, art is about beauty, meaning, and power. For others, it's a convenient place to clean dirty money. Today, Nicole breaks down the hidden financial playbook behind the global art market, and why some billionaires treat paintings less like décor and more like offshore bank accounts. From subjective valuations and private appraisals to tax-free warehouses, art-backed loans, and regulatory gray zones, this episode walks through the exact five-step system the ultra-wealthy can use to store, grow, and sometimes quietly clean massive amounts of cash. You'll hear how a $5 million painting can magically become a $20 million asset on paper, why some of the world's most valuable art never leaves storage, and how auction houses legally facilitate transactions that banks never could. Then Nicole pulls it back to real life — what this reveals about how wealth actually moves, why valuation is often narrative-driven, and how everyday investors can borrow the thinking without needing a Picasso or a private jet.

The Last Touch: Why AI Will Never Be an ArtistI had one of those conversations... the kind where you're nodding along, then suddenly stop because someone just articulated something you've been feeling but couldn't quite name.Andrea Isoni is a Chief AI Officer. He builds and delivers AI solutions for a living. And yet, sitting across from him (virtually, but still), I heard something I rarely hear from people deep in the AI industry: a clear, unromantic take on what this technology actually is — and what it isn't.His argument is elegant in its simplicity. Think about Michelangelo. We picture him alone with a chisel, carving David from marble. But that's not how it worked. Michelangelo ran a workshop. He had apprentices — skilled craftspeople who did the bulk of the work. The master would look at a semi-finished piece, decide what needed refinement, and add the final touch.That final touch is everything.Andrea draws the same line with chefs. A Michelin-starred kitchen isn't one person cooking. It's a team executing the chef's vision. But the chef decides what's on the menu. The chef check the dish before it leaves. The chef adds that last adjustment that transforms good into memorable.AI, in this framework, is the newest apprentice. It can do the bulk work. It can generate drafts, produce code, create images. But it cannot — and here's the key — provide that final touch. Because that touch comes from somewhere AI doesn't have access to: lived experience, suffering, joy, the accumulated weight of being human in a particular time and place.This matters beyond art. Andrea calls it the "hacker economy" — a future where AI handles the volume, but humans handle the value. Think about code generation. Yes, AI can write software. But code with a bug doesn't work. Period. Someone has to fix that last bug. And in a world where AI produces most of the code, the value of fixing that one critical bug increases exponentially. The work becomes rarer but more valuable. Less frequent, but essential.We went somewhere unexpected in our conversation — to electricity. What does AI "need"? Not food. Not warmth. Electricity. So if AI ever developed something like feelings, they wouldn't be tied to hunger or cold or human vulnerability. They'd be tied to power supply. The most important being to an AI wouldn't be a human — it would be whoever controls the electricity grid.That's not a being we can relate to. And that's the point.Andrea brought up Guernica. Picasso's masterpiece isn't just innovative in style — it captures something society was feeling in 1937, the horror of the Spanish Civil War. Great art does two things: it innovates, and it expresses something the collective needs expressed. AI might be able to generate the first. It cannot do the second. It doesn't know what we feel. It doesn't know what moment we're living through. It doesn't have that weight of context.The research community calls this "world models" — the attempt to give AI some built-in understanding of reality. A dog doesn't need to be taught to swim; it's born knowing. Humans have similar innate knowledge, layered with everything we learn from family, culture, experience. AI starts from zero. Every time.Andrea put it simply: AI contextualization today is close to zero.I left the conversation thinking about what we protect when we acknowledge AI's limits. Not anti-technology. Not fear. Just clarity. The "last touch" isn't a romantic notion — it's what makes something resonate. And that resonance comes from us.Stay curious. Subscribe to the podcast.

Da New York a Parigi, dai ritratti di Picasso allo D-Day, dalle copertine di Vogue ai campi di concentramento, la vita di Lee Miller è una storia eccezionale.Modella, musa e artista, fotografa e reporter di guerra, Lee Miller ha attraversato il Novecento con uno sguardo surreale. Collaboratrice e compagna di Man Ray protagonista della stagione surrealista parigina accanto a Picasso e Dalí, è stata una delle pochissime donne accreditate come fotografa di guerra dall'esercito americano. Le sue immagini dei bombardamenti, della liberazione dei campi di concentramento e della fine del nazismo hanno segnato in modo indelebile la storia del fotogiornalismo. Eppure, dopo la guerra, Lee Miller sceglie il silenzio: si ritira in Inghilterra, lontano dalla sua macchina fotografica, come se quella lente avesse visto troppo. Per anni, la sua opera rischia di scomparire, dimenticata in una soffitta. A riportarla alla luce sarà il figlio, Antony Penrose. Un rapporto difficile, segnato dal silenzio acolico della madre, che si trasforma in una vera e propria missione di vita: ricostruire la storia di sua madre, restituirle voce e giustizia. Attraverso archivi, testimonianze e una lunga ricerca personale, Penrose riannoda i fili di una biografia complessa, fatta di coraggio e ferite profonde. Questo documentario radiofonico racconta la storia di Lee Miller-Penrose attraverso le parole di Antony Penrose. Un radiodocumentario che non è solo il ritratto di una grande fotografa, ma il racconto di come il dolore di un figlio, se affrontato, possa trasformarsi in testimonianza e memoria collettiva.

Un monólogo con sello propio que mezcla ironía, cultura pop y referencias artísticas para reírse de Jackson Pollock, Picasso, Dalí, Goya y de casi todo lo que se ponga por delante. Humor absurdo, ritmo ágil y reflexión camuflada entre carcajadas.

The guys respond to insightful audience comments on the brothers' MGM classic. Is the film actually more like their Paramount work than we give it credit for? Does the brothers' career trajectory resemble that of Picasso—or Elvis? And did Margaret Dumont actually land a joke? These and other truly life-altering questions are debated, dissected, and delightfully overthought.

Osvaldo Guerrieri"Zvanì"Indagine sulla morte di Giovanni PascoliGramma Feltrinelliwww.feltrinellieditore.it17 febbraio 1912. L'uomo sorretto da due medici, che scende per la stradina della “Bicocca”, è Giovanni Pascoli. Lascia Castelvecchio di Barga e sta per salire sul treno speciale che lo porterà a Bologna, dove lui, il poeta più amato e più popolare di quegli anni, spera di guarire dalla cirrosi epatica che gli ha sconvolto la vita. Comincia il crudele duello contro un male che la medicina non sa arrestare e che si conclude il 6 aprile, Sabato Santo, nel tripudio delle campane che annunciano la Resurrezione. Come è potuto nascere e svilupparsi questo sconvolgimento?“Ognuno di noi si prepara la propria morte,” ha scritto Leonardo Sciascia raccontando la fine di Raymond Roussel. Stando alle testimonianze dei suoi amici medici, Pascoli se la preparò senz'altro con una condotta di vita segnata dal dolore, dalle delusioni, dalla solitudine e dall'alcol. La sua esistenza è perciò una lunga rincorsa verso l'epilogo atroce. A partire dal trauma infantile dell'assassinio del padre, dalla morte precoce della madre e da quella dei fratelli maggiori, Pascoli si rifugia nei doveri del lutto, felice, quasi, di essere infelice.Ai lutti si aggiungano la povertà inaspettata, l'attività politica nelle caotiche file del socialismo romagnolo sfociata nei 107 giorni di carcere da cui il rivoluzionario esce “per sempre indignato”, la girandola dell'insegnamento prima nei licei e poi nelle università, il desiderio e il “nido” della famiglia così a lungo sognato. Nido che dura poco. Ida, la sorella più grande, si sposa e Giovanni rimane con Maria, la sorella più piccola, che lo ama possessivamente, escludendo chiunque, istericamente dolce e severa.Con la sua scrittura nitida, capace di penetrare a fondo nella psicologia dei suoi personaggi, Osvaldo Guerrieri ritrae vita e morte di un grande poeta, voce unica nella letteratura europea moderna.Osvaldo Guerrieri è nato a Chieti e vive a Torino. È critico teatrale de “La Stampa”, attività per la quale ha ricevuto nel 2003 il premio Flaiano. Tra le sue opere si segnalano L'insaziabile (premio internazionale Mondello 2009), Istantanee (2009), I Torinesi (2011, 2013), Col diavolo in corpo. Vite maledette da Amedeo Modigliani a Carmelo Bene (2013), Curzio (2015), Schiava di Picasso (2016). I suoi racconti Sibilla d'amore e Alè Calais sono diventati spettacoli teatrali rappresentati in Italia e a Parigi.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

The guys boil the Freddy Peralta trade down to one core issue: the Mets improved immediately, but it still feels like a short-term roster with short-term bets. If Peralta is a one-year rental and anything goes sideways, the whole thing can feel like a “temporary Picasso” that gets ruined the second it gets wet. Then the phones light up. One caller thinks the Mets changed philosophy because of media pressure, but Evan pushes back hard and says the front office has actually been consistent all along. That leads into the bigger theme: the Mets' approach to short-term deals, what Bo Bichette's press conference really told you about the plan, and why fans keep asking what “good enough” is when you cash in top prospects. Plus: a debate over the “roadblock” narrative with Jett Williams, what happens if Luis Robert Jr struggles early, and how quickly the Mets would pivot if performance is not there. And it ends with a hard pivot to hoops: the Knicks annihilate the Nets, the “players-only meeting” story gets dissected through Josh Hart's comments, and the real question becomes what the Knicks do next, not what they did to Brooklyn.

In this episode, special co-host Diana Yáñez and Sweet Miche explore the concept of belonging, not just to each other, but to all of existence. From the linguistic wisdom of the Aymara people to the radical call of liberation theology and the hard work of healing Quaker involvement in Indian Boarding Schools, we're asking what might happen to our faith if we start living from the "We" instead of the "I"? Jiwasa: The Communal We with Rubén Hilari Quispe  Rubén, an Aymara Quaker and linguist, introduces us to jiwasa – a concept of "we-ness" that includes humans, the environment, and even the objects around us. He invites us to sit with the unsettled feeling of language that doesn't center the individual. Read Rubén's article, "Jiwasa, the Communal We" in the January 2026 issue of Friends Journal or at FriendsJournal.org. You can hear an extended interview in Spanish with English subtitles at the Friends Journal YouTube page.  Liberation Theology and the Inner Light with Renzo Carranza  Guatemalan Friend Renzo Carranza explores how the Quaker Inner Light intersects with the radical tradition of liberation theology.

Get ready for some serious drywall drama as Eric G and John Dudley sit down with Ted Speers from The Patch Boys. We're diving right into the nitty-gritty of drywall repair and why finding a trustworthy contractor is like hunting for a unicorn in a haystack. Ted spills the beans on the art and science of drywalling, and how DIY attempts often end in a “what have I done?!” panic. We'll also explore the unique challenges of dealing with textures, the absurdities of home repairs, and why sometimes it's better to just call in the pros before your walls start looking like a Picasso painting gone wrong. So grab your headphones and let's patch things up, because we're about to make drywalling fun—yes, you heard that right! When it comes to drywall, everyone thinks they can tackle it, right? I mean, how hard can it be? Just slap up some sheets, tape it, mud it, and voilà! Spoiler alert: it's not that simple. In this jam-packed episode of Around the House, Eric G and John Dudley welcome Ted Speers from The Patch Boys to discuss the ins and outs of drywall repair. We dive deep into the common misconceptions about DIY drywall projects. Ted shares hilarious anecdotes about all the brave souls who attempt to fix their drywall issues only to end up in a mess that even Picasso would be jealous of. You know those folks who watch a couple of YouTube videos and think they're pros? Yeah, they usually end up giving Ted a call when their 'art project' goes horribly wrong. The guys dissect the art versus science of drywall, emphasizing the skill and finesse required to achieve that perfect finish. You might not think it, but matching textures and dealing with the dreaded popcorn ceiling is an art form that takes years to master. So buckle up, grab a snack, and get ready to learn why hiring a professional might just save you from a world of drywall woe. Let's be real – nobody loves dealing with drywall unless you're Ted, who practically oozes passion for it. In our latest chat, Ted lays down the law about why you should never trust a handyman who claims to be a drywall expert. Sure, they might know how to fix your leaky sink, but once they get their hands on drywall, it's a whole different ballgame. The trio explores the importance of hiring qualified professionals for drywall work, especially after plumbing disasters. Ted gives us the lowdown on how many of his jobs stem from botched DIY attempts or haphazard handyman work. With a chuckle, he explains how the majority of his customers are those do-it-yourselfers who thought they could save a few bucks and ended up creating a drywall horror story. We also touch on the critical aspect of customer service in the contracting world. Ted discusses how The Patch Boys prioritize cleanliness and customer experience on every job, ensuring that clients feel valued and respected. Spoiler alert: it's not just about fixing walls; it's about building relationships. If you think drywall is just about slapping up some boards, think again! This episode takes you on a wild ride through the world of drywall with Ted Speers from The Patch Boys. Eric G and John Dudley get right into it, tackling everything from the absurdities of DIY projects to the fine art of matching textures. Seriously, it's like trying to get a cat to take a bath – nearly impossible unless you know what you're doing! Ted shares his insights on the challenges faced by homeowners and the importance of hiring skilled professionals to avoid the pitfalls of DIY disasters. From addressing water leaks to the complexities of texture matching, this episode is a treasure trove of tips and tricks for anyone looking to navigate the often confusing realm of drywall repair. If you've ever wondered why your walls look like a 3rd grader's art project, tune in to discover how professionals bring back the smoothness and finesse your home deserves.

Discover Lafayette welcomes Melissa Bonin, celebrated artist, poet, lyricist, and author whose work is deeply rooted in the landscape, language, and spirit of South Louisiana. A native of New Iberia with French and Acadian ancestry, Melissa is widely recognized as one of Louisiana's leading contemporary landscape painters. Her work weaves together emotion, mythology, nature, and memory—often inspired by bayous, waterways, mist, and the movement of water. Melissa's multidisciplinary voice is beautifully expressed in her 160-page book, When Bayous Speak, which pairs poetry and paintings spanning more than two decades of her artistic career. The poetry in the book reflects five to six years of work, while the paintings represent some of her most personal and enduring visual pieces. The cover image, Dances on Water, embodies the themes that recur throughout her work—flow, reflection, and deep connection to place. Finding Her Voice Through Art Melissa shared that she was painfully shy as a child and struggled to communicate with others. Her earliest breakthrough came on the last day of kindergarten, when a teacher handed her a chalkboard. “There was something I was able to express myself with, without speaking,” she recalled. That moment marked the beginning of a lifelong relationship with art as language. Her grandfather, a horse trainer, would sit with her and draw simple figures, unknowingly nurturing her creative instincts. Even early recognition came with challenges; after entering a poster contest as a young child she didn’t win. She was told she couldn't have drawn the winning work herself. “But I did,” she said. Mentorship and Artistic Formation Melissa's artistic path was shaped by extraordinary mentorship. At Mount Carmel in New Iberia, teacher James Edmunds and his wife Susan exposed her to museums, music, and culture, taking her to the King Tut exhibit and the symphony in New Orleans. Edmunds introduced her to Elemore Morgan, Jr., who became a lifelong mentor. Through these mentors, Melissa began taking fine art classes at UL Lafayette while still in high school at only 15 years of age. Edmunds even received permission from the nuns to continue teaching her privately at his home. “The greatest thing he ever did for me was to get out of my way,” she said. Reflecting back on her early mentor in high school, Melissa says, “James Edmunds would have different media there. It would be watercolor or whatever. He’d say, I’ll be back in an hour. Then he’d come back and we’d discuss it. Then I’d go back to school.” Melissa went on to earn her degree in Fine Arts at USL (now UL Lafayette), studying under influential artists including Elemore Morgan Jr., Herman Mhire, and Bill Moreland. Language, Identity, and France Melissa's love for the French language developed alongside her art. Her parents belonged to what she called the “shamed generation” who did not speak French, yet her grandmother spoke only French. Wanting to communicate with her, Melissa taught herself French using a Bible she found in an armoire. Her academic journey led her abroad through scholarships from CODOFIL and LSU. She studied in Angers and Paris and described her first experience in France simply as “I'm home.” That connection continues to influence her work, which is often presented in both English and French. Art as a Living Practice Melissa described the moment she truly “found her voice” as an artist after her first major New Orleans show, when Elemore Morgan Jr. left her a message repeating, “Melissa, you have found your voice.” Her distinctive surface treatment—polished like “a gemstone or a precious metal”—became a defining element of her work. When asked how long it takes to create a painting, she quoted Picasso's famous response: “All my life.” Some works move quickly; others are painted over dozens of times. “The canvas tells you,” she said. “It's when you try to impose your will upon the canvas that you don't get too far.” Melissa Bonin shared on Facebook, “So happy to see this in Moncus Park today on my walk. What a lovely job the Haynie Family has done incorporating one of my wildflower paintings and one of my poems into their display along Lake Reaux.” Nature, Water, and Healing Melissa's work is deeply inspired by the natural world—water, mist, humidity, plant life, wildflowers, and birds. During a period of heartbreak, she began paddling her canoe on the bayou every afternoon. “When I got on the water, everything fell away,” she shared. That experience sparked her lifelong exploration of bayous as both subject and sanctuary. Today, birding has become part of her daily life and creative process. “Being out there and hearing the sounds of nature and the calls—I love it,” she said. Poetry, Rejection, and Resilience Melissa's poetry has reached international audiences, with residencies in Montreal and current opportunities in France. Reflecting on a defining moment at the Congrès Mondial in Canada—where she was the first woman to present—she recalled a comment from a well-known figure who told her, “They will always remember your painting, but your poetry will get you nowhere.” Her response was resolute: “I must have had some really good poetry to make a person have to formulate that kind of sentence.” Since then, her poetry has appeared in parks in Belgium, installations in Lafayette, and residencies across borders. “My advice is filter what people tell you,” she said. Living the Artist's Life Melissa spoke candidly about choosing to become a full-time artist after realizing her art income had surpassed her teaching salary. “I wish I would have done it sooner,” she said. Her advice to young creatives: trust the inner voice and begin before you feel completely ready. She also shared that meditation, movement, and dance—another lifelong love—play a vital role in her creative process. “When I'm really stuck, I move,” she said. “And then sometimes the answers come.” “Arianna Huffington had a quote that I love to live by. She said, “Go forward as if all the cards are stacked in your favor. And so for anyone who has a desire to paint or write, I encourage that. There’s something that happens to a person when they dig deep within themselves and really become acquainted with themselves. In that way, something beautiful happens and everyone around can feel it.” Upcoming Event Melissa will be featured in Bulles littéraires, a literary evening hosted by Alliance Française de Lafayette.

Teddy Atlas breaks down the spectacle of Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, recapping why he thought this fight would go more rounds than most people expected. While many anticipate a quick and violent ending from Joshua, Teddy outlines the factors that could extend the fight into deeper rounds — including Joshua's recent inactivity, the massive ring size, and Joshua's tendency at times to be a slow starter. Teddy also reflects on the legendary career of Terence “Bud” Crawford following his retirement announcement. He discusses Crawford's rare versatility, ring IQ, mental toughness, instincts and ability to dominate across multiple weight classes. Teddy places Crawford among the true modern greats, comparing his résumé, skill set, and dominance to other all-time elite fighters and explaining where Bud fits historically in the pantheon of boxing legends.Finally, Teddy previews a huge weekend of action from Saudi Arabia, breaking down Naoya Inoue vs. David Picasso and Junto Nakatani vs. Sebastian Reyes. Teddy explains why Inoue's pressure, power, and precision make him one of the most dangerous fighters in the world, while also noting what Picasso must do to survive and compete. He then turns to Nakatani, highlighting his size, technique, and finishing ability, and explains why Reyes faces an uphill battle against one of boxing's most complete and dangerous champions.Thanks for being with us.
