Support & Resources→ Support the show on Patreon→ Bayesian Modeling Course (first 2 lessons free)Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran). Check out his awesome workTakeaways:Q: What is Variational Bayesian Monte Carlo (VBMC) and how is it different from Bayesian optimization?A: VBMC borrows the machinery of Bayesian optimization but aims at a different target. Bayesian optimization fits a Gaussian process surrogate to an expensive function and uses it to hunt for the optimum. VBMC instead treats the log-posterior as the function to model, evaluates it at a few carefully chosen points, and keeps the whole reconstructed shape rather than just its peak. That gives you the full posterior, not a single best-fit value. Where MCMC might need tens of thousands to millions of evaluations, VBMC often reconstructs a good posterior approximation from a few hundred, which matters when each evaluation is slow.Q: When should you reach for PyVBMC, and when is it the wrong tool?A: Two symptoms tell you PyVBMC might help. First, speed: if a single evaluation of your log density takes on the order of a second, running MCMC over tens of thousands of evaluations becomes painful, and PyVBMC's few-hundred-evaluation budget pays off. Second, dimensionality: because it leans on a Gaussian process surrogate, it works well up to roughly 10 to 15 parameters and degrades beyond that. If your model already runs fine in Stan or PyMC, you do not need it. It shines for expensive, low-dimensional models common in science and engineering, where you are modeling a process rather than composing nice distributions.Full takeaways hereChapters:00:18:13 What is Variational Bayesian Monte Carlo (VBMC) and how does it differ from Bayesian optimization?00:30:21 When should you use VBMC versus BADS in practice?00:31:20 What is Bayesian Adaptive Direct Search (BADS) and how does its hybrid optimization strategy work?00:39:18 What are neural processes, and why are transformers a natural neural process architecture?00:45:54 What is the Amortized Conditioning Engine (ACE) and what problem does it unify?00:55:42 What do PriorGuide and the new autoregressive buffer paper solve for amortized inference?01:02:03 How does the new autoregressive buffer speed up predictions in transformer probabilistic models?01:06:11 What is Luigi Acerbi's vision for a foundation model for inference?01:09:26 What is ALINE and how does it add active data acquisition to amortized inference?01:12:43 How does Luigi Acerbi connect LLM agents, Bayesian decision theory, and the nature of intelligence?01:18:44 For a PyMC, Stan, or NumPyro user, where should you start with VBMC, BADS, or BayesFlow?Thank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!Links from the show here

16 Jul 2026. Dubai’s GDRFA issued more than one million new residence permits and 66,000 Golden Visas in the first half of 2026. We discuss what does that tell us about the emirate’s ability to attract talent, investors and businesses, and what could it mean for economic growth. Plus, if conflict is driving oil higher, why isn’t gold behaving like a traditional safe haven? We ask Marex. And the UN’s maritime body has raised concerns over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. We discuss the impact on global trade and shipping with maritime security expert Christopher Long.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailWhy do nonprofits lose momentum after creating an inspiring vision or strategic plan? Doug Paul, Founder and CEO of Impact Co., explains how nonprofit operational systems, leadership clarity, performance measures, and consistent workplace rhythms turn ambition into measurable results.After working with approximately 1,300 nonprofit organizations, Doug and his colleagues studied the organizations that were consistently succeeding. They identified eight connected areas that distinguished them: vision, strategy, development, metrics, culture, people, systems, and rhythms.The central lesson is direct: “Nonprofits don't rise to the level of their vision. They fall to the level of their systems.”Doug explains why organizations can have memorable mission statements and well-designed strategic plans yet still miss deadlines, struggle with accountability, operate reactively, and fail to follow through. These are not always motivation problems. Often, they are evidence of systems that unintentionally produce last-minute scrambles and workplace frustration.The conversation also examines why business frameworks cannot simply be dropped into nonprofit organizations without adaptation. Systems designed primarily to create profit may not fully support organizations whose ultimate outcome is mission impact.Doug outlines how successful nonprofits create an attainable 3 to 5 year vision, distinguish strategy from goals, build a modern revenue playbook, track both lead and lag measures, align donors and stakeholders, and document repeatable processes. He also shares that organizations intentional about culture-building can experience a 43% increase in productivity!!Strong systems do not remove the human element. They help people succeed. As Doug explains, “I just don't think heart and passion can bridge that gap.”This episode offers nonprofit executives, managers, fundraisers, and board members a clearer way to diagnose stalled momentum—and begin releasing the organizational brakes.Key Takeaways:Define an attainable three-to-five-year vision rather than relying only on a distant aspirational goal.Separate strategy from goals and connect strategy to a specific winning action plan.Track lead measures early enough to influence lagging organizational results.Treat workplace culture as a measurable leadership discipline, not an accidental outcome.Align staff, donors, board members, executives, and community stakeholders around one direction.Build documented processes and calendar rhythms that repeatedly produce mission outcomes.00:00:00 Why Nonprofits Lose Momentum00:00:46 Building Built for Impact Through Collaboration00:02:17 The Gap Between Mission, Operations, and Results00:04:20 When Constant Firefighting Becomes the System00:05:31 Why Business Frameworks May Fail Nonprofits00:07:15 Passion Cannot Replace Operational Capacity00:10:11 Lessons From 1,300 Nonprofit Organizations00:11:27 Eight Drivers of Nonprofit Success00:12:27 Lead Measures, Lag Measures, and Better Decisions00:13:27 Culture Building and the 43% Productivity Increase00:15:36 Aligning People, Processes, and Stakeholders00:17:31 Using Organizational Rhythms to Drive Impact00:18:44 Creating a Nonprofit Performance Flywheel00:20:17 Building an Organizational Operating System00:21:52 Why Leadership Clarity Is a Survival Skill00:24:17 Making Tough Decisions Without Leading Alone00:25:57 Moving From Command-and-Control to CollaborationFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Most companies are "sprinkling AI" onto old processes when the real wins come from throwing the process in the garbage and rebuilding it. In this episode of Content Amplified, Paul Schmidt, VP of AI and Innovation at SmartBug Media, an elite HubSpot agency partner, maps the AI adoption bell curve he sees across the thousand-plus companies SmartBug has worked with: early adopters who figured it out on their own, a chunky middle leaning on embedded features like auto-written subject lines, and laggards in litigious industries like finance and healthcare. Paul shares the practical playbook for moving up the curve: 30-minute audits with department leaders to surface bottlenecks and mundane processes, process mapping as the prerequisite for real AI maturity ("you're going to need a process for mapping processes"), and building agents early just to learn what they can and cannot do. He also explains how his roughly 200-person org went from nobody sharing AI use cases, out of fear of getting in trouble, to about five shared in Slack every day. If you want a clear picture of where your team sits on the AI curve and the next step to take, this episode is your map.About PaulPaul Schmidt is the VP of AI and Innovation at SmartBug Media, one of the few elite HubSpot agency partners in the world. In his role he oversees AI fluency and adoption for the SmartBug team, builds internal agents and tools that streamline the agency's processes, and develops new AI service offerings for clients. He has spent more than a decade in consulting, working directly with clients on CRM onboarding, growing their marketing teams, and building pipeline through marketing campaigns.

As B2B technology companies scale, size often comes at the cost of agility. Processes calcify, buying cycles stretch, and marketing teams end up running up and down the stairs faster instead of building the elevator.In this episode of the FINITE Podcast, Jodi Norris sits down with Carol Carpenter, CMO at Cohesity, to unpack what it really takes to market at enterprise scale without slowing down. Fresh from Cohesity's merger with Veritas, Carol shares the realities of integrating two large marketing organisations, building trust across cultures, and holding on to startup-style velocity inside a 5,800‑person business.She explains how her team uses AI to redesign workflows – from translation and brand governance tools, to AI‑powered SDR outreach that doubles lead‑to‑meeting conversion. Along the way, she draws a firm line between what can be automated and what cannot: creativity, taste and strategic judgement.Carol has been in technology marketing for most of her career, starting as a product manager at Apple. She enjoys scaling and transforming companies and has done that in leadership roles at VMware, Google, Apple, Trend Micro and now as CMO of Cohesity. Carol gives back through mentorship programs such as the HBS Women Entrepreneurship program and Monte Jade, an AAPI professional organisation.Inside you'll find…How to merge marketing cultures without losing speed, trust or clarityWhere AI genuinely shortens a six‑month enterprise buying journey – and where humans must stay in the loopA practical framework for lifting teams out of execution and into more strategic, high‑leverage work

Cornelius was devout... but he was not saved. It must have taken courage for the Roman Centurion to abandon the numerous gods of his nation. He became devoted to the one true God. If anyone could have claimed righteousness by his own merits, it was Cornelius. But he needed to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus, like everyone else. It was a stretch for Peter to even enter his home, but what happened in that living room changed the world.

Preaching to Gentiles - is that even kosher?! The kosher dietary laws became a symbol for something much more important, in Acts 10. That's where Peter gets that vision of a sheet lowered from heaven, full of unclean animals. He learned that "clean" and "unclean" is a distinction that God can un-make. And the unclean pagan masses were about to meet the cleansing word of the gospel. Here's Jim to begin a sermon called, Proud Peter Processes Pork.

What if the biggest AI challenge for CFOs is not the technology itself, but the culture and processes required to use it well? In this episode, host Heather Cole sits down with Jennifer Witts (Partner) and Kyle Vroegh (Director) of CohnReznick's Client Advisory Services Practice to unpack what separates financial leaders seeing real AI results from those spinning their wheels. They cover where CFOs should start with AI adoption, why layering automation on broken processes backfires, how to build a psychologically safe culture around experimentation, what governance and security questions to ask when evaluating outside firms, and how the role of the financial executive is shifting toward advisory and strategic work. Whether you are excited, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a practical, no-hype path forward – one bite-sized use case at a time.Special Guests: Jennifer Witts and Kyle Vroegh.

Play audio-only episode | Play on YouTube | Play on Spotify Episode Summary Preparing for the PMP exam means developing the ability to make sound decisions under pressure, not simply recalling definitions from a textbook. In this lesson, drawn directly from the PM PrepCast PMP exam prep course and PrepCast PMP Exam Simulator, Cornelius Fichtner walks through all six project management principles from the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and shows exactly how to recognize and apply them when facing the kind of ambiguous, scenario-based questions that appear on the actual exam. Each principle gets its own sample question from the PrepCast PMP Exam Simulator, a step-by-step walkthrough of why the wrong answers are wrong, and a second practice question so listeners can immediately test what they have learned. The episode covers all six principles in sequence: Adopt a Holistic View, Focus on Value, Embed Quality into Processes and Deliverables, Be an Accountable Leader, Integrate Sustainability Within All Project Areas, and Build an Empowered Culture. Each principle is taught not as a concept to memorize but as a mindset to recognize and apply, because the exam consistently rewards situational judgment over terminology.

The Systematized Executive: Engineering Operational Freedom with Heather HargroveIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Heather Hargrove, an independent consultant and the founder of Grove, to dissect the backend operational failures that silently trap high-performing business owners in a state of perpetual exhaustion. Heather, a decorated military veteran who channels structured logistics and extreme resilience into her corporate strategy, specializes in auditing chaotic business infrastructure and transforming it into a self-sustaining asset. This conversation provides an essential operational blueprint for mid-market founders and enterprise leaders who are ready to eliminate administrative bottlenecks, design objective business dashboards, and transition away from a founder-dependent model to reclaim true lifestyle freedom.The Operational Backbone: Designing Resilient Workflow Frameworks Past Technical ToolsThe most widespread mistake made by scaling business owners is treating software purchases or rapid automation as a shortcut to corporate efficiency. Heather Hargrove points out that technology is merely a delivery mechanism; if an organization automates a broken, undocumented process, it only succeeds in accelerating its operational chaos and confusing its internal workforce. True structural scale is achieved by mapping out the "how" of daily operations—explicitly documenting communication flows, establishing ironclad Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and defining clear role ownership across all management tiers. When an enterprise replaces ad-hoc firefighting with centralized, living processes, it removes the founder as the primary operational bottleneck, liberating executive cognitive capacity to focus entirely on high-yield, long-term valuation strategy.Transitioning an organization out of administrative friction also requires a highly disciplined commitment to data visualization and clear team feedback loops. Many business leaders rely heavily on reactive financial statements or subjective intuition to make critical strategic decisions, which often masks creeping operational inefficiencies until lines begin to break. Real scalability is unlocked when an enterprise implements simple, real-time data dashboards to track predictive indicators, such as new lead velocity, active conversion metrics, and client engagement rates. These empirical insights empower management teams to operate with complete autonomy, resolving bottlenecks on the frontline long before they require corporate intervention. This structural framework completely eliminates the typical 3 a.m. executive anxiety, building an agile corporate engine that scales predictably without demanding the founder's daily physical presence.Furthermore, constructing a truly resilient enterprise demands that corporate leaders weave personal health advocacy, community support, and intentional boundaries directly into the fabric of their executive habits. Drawing from her intense military background and personal health triumphs, Heather highlights that an organization's ultimate capacity is tightly bound to the long-term well-being of its human capital. When a founder uses clear operational guardrails to protect their own time, they establish an internal company culture that rejects toxic hustle structures and respects natural human limits. By standardizing backend workflows and dedicating strategic resources to community initiatives—such as her pro-bono work with Project Vets—executives ensure their business serves their life rather than consuming it, creating a lasting professional legacy built on stability and premium market authority.About Heather HargroveHeather Hargrove is an independent operations consultant, a seasoned corporate systems strategist, and the founder of Grove. Leveraging a disciplined background in military logistics alongside years of high-level management consulting, Heather specializes in auditing structural gaps to help founders transition from reactive operators into visionary CEOs. She is a passionate advocate for executive resilience and active community volunteer, providing specialized advisory services to help veteran-led organizations streamline their corporate infrastructure.About GroveGrove is a premier operational development consultancy and systems engineering firm that provides custom workflow auditing, SOP design, and dashboard optimization for mid-market businesses. The consultancy eliminates administrative debt by mapping internal communication structures, simplifying corporate tech stacks, and introducing cross-functional accountability frameworks. Through proprietary diagnostic evaluations like The Inside Look, Grove enables companies to achieve predictable growth, eliminate founder dependency, and build self-sustaining operational assets.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeHeather Hargrove Official Website: heatherhargrove.comHeather Hargrove on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/theheatherhargroveKey Episode HighlightsThe Software Fallacy: Understanding why buying new tools before documenting your manual workflows introduces severe administrative debt.The Architecture of SOPs: Crafting simple, repeatable Standard Operating Procedures and Loom video pipelines to ensure flawless employee onboarding.Predictive Metric Dashboards: Transitioning away from reactive accounting data to build real-time visual charts that measure lead velocity and client retention.The Founder Extraction Strategy: Implementing high-accountability feedback loops that allow internal teams to operate independently without micromanagement.The Resilience Mandate: Applying military-grade operational discipline and personal health advocacy to protect executive focus and corporate long-term growth.ConclusionThe conversation with Heather Hargrove reinforces that operational excellence is a direct downstream result of intentional structure, not exhaustive manual hustle. By auditing current processes, standardizing data-driven dashboards, and prioritizing clear human communication over complex software, business leaders can transform a chaotic setup into a highly structured, self-sustaining corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Season 2, Episode 118In this episode, Michael and Zach are once again joined by Jonathan White and Matthew Gilbert for the second installment of their government roundtable discussion. The conversation tackles some of the most challenging questions Christians face in political engagement, including whether believers should prioritize just outcomes or just processes, how Christians ought to think about democratic norms, and what role the church should play in addressing political issues. Drawing from passages such as Micah 6, Isaiah 10, Proverbs 16, 2 Timothy 4, and Acts 20, the panel explores the relationship between justice, law, and political power while discussing whether pastors should address specific candidates or limit themselves to biblical principles. The discussion also considers the tension between God's sovereignty over rulers and human responsibility in political decision-making, using figures such as the judges of Israel and modern political leaders as case studies. Finally, the panel examines the long-term implications of political alliances within the pro-life movement and reflects on how Christians can faithfully pursue justice, truth, and civic responsibility without confusing the kingdom of God with the kingdoms of this world.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/3Ir80Bd1Xh0Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Why are so many companies investing heavily in AI yet struggling to see meaningful results? In this episode, Lisa Goldenthal reveals a hard truth: most AI initiatives do not fail because of the technology. They fail because AI exposes the hidden inefficiencies, outdated approval systems, and legacy processes that have been slowing organizations down for years. Lisa explores why AI often uncovers deeper operational problems, what it reveals about how companies really make decisions, and the bottlenecks that quietly prevent teams from moving faster and executing better. She also shares practical steps leaders can take immediately to eliminate unnecessary friction, improve decision-making, and create an organization that can fully benefit from AI. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why many AI initiatives fail to deliver ROI • What AI reveals about how companies actually operate • The real bottleneck holding most organizations back • Immediate actions leaders can take to improve execution • What separates companies that succeed with AI from those that struggle If your organization is investing in AI but not seeing the results you expected, this conversation will help you identify the real obstacles—and show you where to start fixing them. Listen now and discover why your AI problem may actually be a leadership and decision-making problem.

It's Black Friday. The busiest shopping and dining day of the year, in a town known for being the Christmas city, packed with people in from out of town. Theresa had just hosted Thanksgiving — a houseful of family and friends — and all she wanted that afternoon was to finish cleaning up and sit down with a glass of wine. Not think about anything. Five minutes after she said it out loud, the phone rang.   "Teresa, it's raining in the basement. We don't know what to do. It's brown water."   She lived an hour away. So she drove. The whole way up wondering what she was about to walk into. A restaurant packed. A retail store packed. A city packed. And in the basement, water pouring out from under a door — brown — heading straight for the inventory.   By the time she got down there, one of the restaurant managers was already on the stairs. In a garbage bag. Kitchen gloves on. Holding a spatula. "T, we can do this. We got this. I Googled how to fix a pipe." It was a sewage pipe. And Theresa is a germaphobe.   Here's what most people would have done: run. Theresa did the opposite. She leaned in. She started assessing — first, second, third. Call the plumber. Call the remediation company on a holiday weekend. Save the inventory. Call the owner, who was in Mexico. And make sure nobody upstairs ever found out.   They didn't fix the pipe themselves, by the way. She threw her sneakers out and drove home barefoot in the snow. But the business never skipped a beat on the busiest day of the year — because the right things were already in place.   That flooded basement became one of the stories that taught Theresa what it actually takes to run a business in a crisis. It comes down to four things: presence, people, processes, and perseverance. The only thing we ever really control is the effort we put in and how we choose to face the moment when it breaks.   So here's the real question. It was never whether a crisis like this would happen — because it will. It's whether you have the presence, the people, the processes, and the perseverance to walk through it and come out the other side completely intact.   Key Takeaways: • Crisis isn't the question — it's coming no matter what. The real question is whether you have the leadership and systems in place to walk through it and get to the other side completely intact. • The only thing you truly control is the effort you put in and how you face the moment. You can run from the crisis, or you can lean into it. • Presence is leadership when it's hard. It's being the person they call because they know you'll figure it out — not the leader who panics and waits for someone else to handle it. • People matter most in the breakdown. The right team thinks critically and creatively under pressure, brings diversity of thinking, and keeps the business from bottlenecking on you. • Processes are the skeleton that holds everything upright. Real operational structure is what let the restaurant and store keep running on Black Friday while the basement flooded — business continuity in action. • Perseverance is radical resilience — the 6th gear. Cry for a moment, get frustrated for a moment, then shift into the strategic, critical, creative-solution brain and keep moving. • Good leaders bring calm into the chaos, not more chaos into the chaos. Intention beats running around like a chicken with its head cut off. • Every business owner has a version of this story — a pipe, a fridge going down, people quitting, COVID. What separates them is what they put in place before it hit.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:00   The one question — what crisis taught you how to run your business? 01:30   Why this story is in the upcoming book 02:21   Picture this: Black Friday, the Christmas city, the busiest weekend of the year 03:40   "It's raining in the basement.

What's one challenge in your life right now that could spark a business idea if you acted on it? On Think Business, I spoke with Nicole Daher, CEO and founder of Success on the Spectrum (SOS)—the first autism treatment franchise in the U.S. Nicole's journey began with a deeply personal challenge. When her daughter was diagnosed with autism, she searched Houston for treatment options. What she found were long waitlists and not enough clinics to meet the demand. Instead of waiting, Nicole acted. In 2015, she opened her first clinic. Today, SOS has grown into 76 franchises, changing lives across the country. Here are a few takeaways from Nicole's journey:

Send us Fan MailJordan Kapitanoff is a mechanical engineer by training and a transformation leader by practice. A graduate of Kettering University with a BSME and an MBA from Aurora University, Jordan built his career at the intersection of engineering, operations, and culture change. Over the years, he has consistently stepped into roles where systems, teams, and processes needed elevation — and delivered measurable results. At Bison Gear & Engineering, Jordan moved from Application Engineer to Innovator, and later to Supervisor of Quality Innovation and Sustainability Engineering Manager. There, he led initiatives grounded in A3 problem solving, DMAIC, and lean thinking — not just to fix problems, but to transform how teams approached quality and continuous improvement. He also launched a new innovation and product development consulting division inside the organization, demonstrating an entrepreneurial drive even within established companies. His leadership continued to evolve at G&W Electric and later at tmax Group, where he served in operations excellence and operations management roles.

Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace consistently invite us to enter a meditative state. Whatever the medium, each piece seems to raise more questions than provide answers. The artists, respected for their innovative work, have concluded the series for which they are most known, large-scale blown glass fruit and vegetable forms. Their subsequent work includes life-size figurative wood and glass sculptures as well as outdoor bronze installations and glass work that features blown vessels and cast panels with illustrations of the 'first facts' of bird identification realized through applied glass powder drawings. Most recently, the artists have been working on their Botanicals, a body of work that preserves real flowers in composite and glass.  Kirkpatrick and Mace have worked collaboratively for the past 47 years after meeting at the Pilchuck Glass School in 1979. The artists have consistently explored seminal themes: principles of drawing as incorporated into glass, the metaphoric content of human relationship to nature and the appropriation of materials to support a visual idea. They recently installed a large public art project at the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington.  Kirkpatrick (born in Des Moines, Iowa, 1952) and Mace (born in Exeter, New Hampshire, 1949) have exhibited, lectured and taught extensively throughout the world. They taught for 12 years at Pilchuck Glass School. Their collaborative work is included in collections and museums around the world including the Corning Museum of Glass, NY; The Detroit Institute of Art Detroit, MI; The Boston Museum of Fine Art, Boston, MA; Hokkaido Museum, Japan; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York NY; Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Lausanne, Switzerland; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Toledo Art Museum, Toledo, OH and The National Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.  Mark Doty, wrote in the introduction of the book, Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C Mace: "This might be the most complex yoking of all, the way that two sensibilities overlap, merge, separate, conflict and resolve. A continuing dynamic, itself both unstable and solid, evolving, transforming materials and processes as it transforms itself." Kirkpatrick and Mace were recognized in 2019 for their outstanding achievement in the field of contemporary glass art by the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass, and have been elected to the American Craft Fellows in 2005, interviewed for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art in 2006 and given the 2001 Chateau Ste. Michelle Libensky Award by Pilchuck Glass School honoring outstanding contemporary artists working in glass. Kirkpatrick served as a trustee on the board of Pilchuck Glass School for 16 years.  Now, the artists split their time between a home and studio in Seattle, Washington, and a farm on the Olympic Peninsula near the Washington Coast. Their current Botanical sculptures grew out of a desire to capture the essence of a plant by preserving it through portraiture. Each plant is harvested as it shares its bloom, brought into the studio, deconstructed, dried and reassembled. The specimen is then suspended within layers of composites and glass. The finished work has been recreated through the artist's hand and dependent on the artist's view of the specimen by observing in life, the plant's structure, the result, a portrait of a flower. Of their Botanical sculpture, Daniel J. Hinkley, plantsman wrote: "The works of Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace capture the improbable if not the impossible, the apprehension of not just a moment reflecting the magic and majesty of our natural world but the abduction and amplification of a precise moment of perfection. To say that the paragon of their subjects has been frozen in time implies incorrectly that what you observe in their work is not simply an expiration and preservation of a plant at its floral zenith. These flowers embody the mystery and beauty, comprehended and embraced by the artists, to such a degree that one might actually perceive its ultimate drop of petal, abscission of leaf or growth of root." A selection of Kirkpatrick and Mace works is also on view now at the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York, in Tough Stuff: Women in the American Glass Studio. The exhibition showcases the groundbreaking creators who shaped the past and future of glass art.
