I'm an artist, muralist, author, podcaster, and educator, with a passion for making meaningful connections through art. I'm proud to be a collected Canadian Artist, with my work exhibited internationally and across North America. Recently, I had the privilege of showcasing my pieces in the vibrant art scene of NYC. A highlight of my career has been the completion of my largest project to date, a monumental 3082 sq/ft mural titled Choose Love and Join Hands in Truth and Reconciliation. Along with the installation of this massive project, we ran an Indigenous Mentorship Program. To celebrate the project we held an unveiling and Final Ceremony with elders blessing, dancing and drumming. This collaboration with my community holds great personal significance. In 2021, I took my commitment to creative education further by founding an Art Academy in partnership with my local public school district, with a focus on inclusivity, diversity, and self discovery. Additionally, I established the Colour Me Happy online Community, Book, and Podcast, aiming to spread creative joy far and wide. In the coming years, I'm excited to take my educational workshops to the next level by building an eco-friendly artist residency and arts centre right here in Canada. My artwork has been featured on national television and has graced the pages of international publications and the prestigious Saatchi Gallery. I'm grateful for the support of collectors like Jillian Harris, Sarah Baeumler, Jenna Kutcher, Andrew Salgado, Jann Arden, and Sarah Nicole Landry (thebbirdspapaya). My studio, where my children and I create, is nestled in the tranquil Canadian prairies. It's not just a space, but a sanctuary for artistic expression and shared moments of creativity.” ‍ Connect with this episode's featured artist Brandi Hofer here:  Website: https://www.brandihofer.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandihoferstudios/ Instagram/ Colour Me Happy Community: https://www.instagram.com/colourmehappycommunity/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrandiLHofer Check out Brandi's Online Portrait Class: https://brandihoferstudios.thrivecart.com/portrait-class/?_gl=1*1cjtoae*_ga*MTQ1NzU0MjQyNS4xNzIzNzY1OTcx*_ga_05JXSG6TKL*MTcyNDc1NjYwMi4zLjEuMTcyNDc1NjcyNS4wLjAuMA..   Listen to Brandi interview Sara on her podcast: Colour Me Happy: https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/giving-yourself-permission-to-create-overcoming-imposter/id1549968568?i=1000666358155   Things mentioned during the episode: Movie: Atomic Habits Music: Feist The Art Queens Society: https://www.artqueens.co/   Follow I Like Art Podcast on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ilikeart.podcast/ Watch the latest I Like Art Podcast Interviews on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ILikeArtPodcast    Find Sara Glupker- Podcast host here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraglupker Website: https://www.saraglupkerart.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraStrongGlupkerArtist

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to breathe yourself into your own body? To flow with the out-breath of trees into your own fractaling lungs, to dance ribbonlike into an ancient ceiba's vasculature, to stitch an ecosystem together as a mycelium highways sparkling with energy? In this episode we explore the transformational potential of virtual reality through the work of Marshmallow Laser Feast, an artist collective that has emerged as a leading VR creators in the last decade. They exhibited internationally from London to New York, Melbourne to Seoul, their work included in major exhibitions at institutions including the Barbican Centre, Saatchi Gallery, Sundance Film Festival, and SXSW. 'In The Eyes Of The Animal' was nominated for the Design of the Year by Design Museum Beazley Awards and won the Wired Innovation Award (2016). Most recently, the team at MLF won the Tribeca Film Festival Storyscapes Award for Innovation in Storytelling and Best VR Film at VR Arles Festival for ‘TreeHugger, Wawona'. Ersin Han Ersin is the director of MLF and describes to us how they use dazzlingly aesthetic real-time VR experiences to explore the invisible perspectives of nature's lifeworlds – and how they are constantly pushing the bounds of what technology makes possible in expanding our ecological sensitivities. I enquire into:Who they need to speak to in order to create their masterpieces and translate the umwelts of other species? What other scientists, poets, musicians, make this possible?What is it that virtual reality can create that no other medium can?What is the building block of a multisensory story?What are some of the astounding ways that other beings experience the world that are divergent from the human?How could global education be redesigned based on kinesthetic educative tools like VR?Episode Website Link.Show Links:Marshmallow Laser FeastTED talkVimeo of MLFSoulful connection with trees: DartingtonLifeworlds Episode with Karen BakkerObservations on Being by MLFAI piece from Berggruen InstituteAbandon Normal Devices FestivalLook out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.Music: Electric Ethnicity by Igor Dvorkin, Duncan Pittock & Ellie Kidd Hosted on Acast.

We meet artist Shaqúelle Whyte to explore his current solo exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London.Whyte imagines fictional environments in his paintings, creating an enigmatic atmosphere that contributes to his psychoanalytic approach. The painted medium is paramount for the artist whose broad, loosely rendered brushstrokes are mirrored in his expansive compositions, in which time and space expand and contract across the canvas. Although non-linear, narrative plays a central role in Whyte's work, which sees him carry certain motifs over from one painting to the next. These recurring details contribute to the sense of theatre that pervades his work; Whyte directs his subjects as though they are actors and his canvas a stage. Despite excluding himself from the work representationally, the stories he crafts reflect his everyday life and innermost thoughts. The figures in Whyte's paintings act as conduits for his subconscious. Giving form to thought through paint, he generates a sense of introspection through his characters' often averted or guarded faces. At once enigmatic and familiar, Whyte's paintings evoke the surreal and shape the ephemeral, ultimately leaving his world open to the viewer's own interpretation.Shaqúelle Whyte (b. 2000, Wolverhampton) lives and works in London. He received a BA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art and an MA at the Royal College of Art. He is currently exhibiting his first solo show with Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, Yute, you're gonna be fine. Recent group shows include Present Tense, Hauser & Wirth, Somerset (2024); Buffer, Guts Gallery, London (2022); Seasons in the City, curated by Artuner, Palazzo Capris, Turin (2022); Showstopper, Saatchi Gallery, London (2022); and WHAT NOW?, PM/AM Gallery, London (2022). Whyte has taken part in residencies at The Fores Project, London (2022); AM/PM, London (2022); and the Denise Israel Scholarship, Rome (2021), amongst others.Follow @Shaq.Whyte and @PippyHouldsworthGalleryVisit the final weekend of Shaqúelle Whyte's solo exhibition.

Fear can hold us back and make us feel stuck. But if we don't face the things that scare us, how will we ever progress? That's certainly the case for us creatives. Whether we're afraid of going freelance, starting a side project, applying for that job, or making a complete lifestyle shift, embracing what terrifies us could actually lead us to happiness. And if it doesn't? Well, there's always a lesson to be learned. Joanna Henly is no stranger to change. She spent her childhood moving around, as her parents' careers dictated. On making new friends at different schools and getting used to new roots, she naturally built resilience and, as a result, didn't shy away from her fears. That's not always been the case. Just like any of us, Joanna has her ups and downs. But in 2019, she suddenly decided to leave London for Lisbon, completely changing her entire lifestyle and career. And when the global pandemic happened, that only encouraged her to pursue her dreams even more. She became a creative mentor and now works with aspiring, emerging and mid-term career artists to propel their creativity and careers forward. She's taken everything she's experienced from her own journey of being an illustrator, muralist, fine artist, and digital and VR painter to help others. Joanna has worked with Reebok, Google, Vivienne Westwood, and Wacom. She's presented her work and ideas as inspiration sessions for Apple and sold out workshops and masterclasses at venues including The V&A, The Saatchi and National Portrait Galleries. Her artworks have even hung in the Saatchi Gallery and Somerset House, while her books are stocked at the Tate and National galleries. She's curated and exhibited solo shows in London and Hong Kong. More recently, she's presented ideas and interactive art with everyone from Google to fashion giants Galliano, painted in VR for the Land Rover Evoque world premiere, and so much more. So, how on earth do the rest of us face and overcome fear? How do we move forward as creatives and discover new ways of working and living? Essentially, how do we become unstuck and move forward? Joanna gives some excellent advice for anyone itching to make a significant change this year. This season is sponsored by MPB, the largest global platform for buying, selling, and trading used photo and video equipment. Visit MPB.com to find out more.

Trudy Benson Trudy Benson received her Master of Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute in 2010 and her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2007. She has been the subject of recent solo exhibitions at Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna, Austria; Weber Fine Art, Greenwich, CT; SUNNY, New York; Massif Central, Brussels, Belgium; Miles McEnery Gallery, New York; and Ceysson & Bénétière, Saint-Étienne, France. Her work has been included in recent group exhibitions at Krinzinger Schottenfeld, Vienna, Austria; Eric Firestone Gallery, East Hampton, NY; m.simons, Amsterdam; Mother Gallery, Beacon, NY; Miles McEnery Gallery, New York; and Gaa Projects, Cologne, Germany.

The artist lives and works in Newburgh, NY. In a departure from her first exhibition with Miles McEnery Gallery in October 2021, Benson's compositions have turned to emphasize fine line work made with an airbrush. From afar, warped planes buzz with motion; when the viewer steps closer, densely-scribbled marks are revealed as the source rather than solid blocks of color. The paintings are rendered in color combinations from monochromatic palettes to power clashing hues, creating harmony in the unexpected.

Edward Burtynsky is regarded as one of the world's most accomplished contemporary photographers. His remarkable photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes represent over 40 years of his dedication to bearing witness to the impact of human industry on the planet. Edward's photographs are included in the collections of over 80 major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa; the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York; the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid; the Tate Modern in London, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California.Edward was born in 1955 of Ukrainian heritage in St. Catharines, Ontario. He received his BAA in Photography/Media Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in 1982, and has since received both an Alumni Achievement Award (2004) and an Honorary Doctorate (2007) from his alma mater. He is still actively involved in the university community, and sits on the board of directors for The Image Centre (formerly Ryerson Image Centre).In 1985, Edward founded Toronto Image Works, a darkroom rental facility, custom photo laboratory, digital imaging, and new media computer-training centre catering to all levels of Toronto's art community.Early exposure to the General Motors plant and watching ships go by in the Welland Canal in Edward's hometown helped capture his imagination for the scale of human creation, and to formulate the development of his photographic work. His imagery explores the collective impact we as a species are having on the surface of the planet — an inspection of the human systems we've imposed onto natural landscapes.Exhibitions include: Anthropocene (2018) at the Art Gallery of Ontario and National Gallery of Canada (international touring exhibition); Water (2013) at the New Orleans Museum of Art and Contemporary Art Center in Louisiana (international touring exhibition); Oil (2009) at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

Edward's visually compelling works are currently being exhibited in solo and group exhibitions around the globe, including at London's Saatchi Gallery where his largest solo exhibition to-date, entitled Extraction/Abstraction, is currently on show until 6th May 2024.Edward's distinctions include the inaugural TED Prize (which he shared with Bono and Robert Fischell), the title of Officer of the Order of Canada, and the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award for Art. In 2018 Edward was named Photo London's Master of Photography and the Mosaic Institute's Peace Patron.

Most recently he was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and was named the 2022 recipient for the annual Pollution Probe Award. Edward currently holds eight honorary doctorate degrees and is represented by numerous international galleries all over the world. In episode 224, Edward discusses, among other things:His transition from film to digitalStaying positive by ‘moving through grief to land on meaning'Making compelling images and how scale creates ambiguityDefining the over-riding theme of his work early onThe environmental impact of farmingWhether he planned his careerWhy he started a lab to finance his photographyAnd how being an entrepreneur feeds into his work as an artistVertical IntegrationExamples of challenging situations he has facedThe necessity for his work to be commoditisedHis relative hope and optimism for the future through positive technologyThe importance of having a hopeful component to the workHow he offsets his own carbon footprint Referenced:Joel SternfeldEliiot PorterStephen ShoreJennifer BaichwalNicholas de Pencier Website | Instagram“The evocation of the sense of wonder and the sense of the surreal, or the improbable, or ‘what am I looking at?', to me is interesting in a time where images are so consumed; that these are not for quick consumption they're for… slow. And I think that when things reveal themselves slowly and in a more challenging way, they become more interesting as objects to leave in the world. That they don't just reveal themselves immediately, you can't just get it in one quick glance and you're done, no, these things ask you to look at them and spend time with them.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Yannick Mayer, COO und Co-Founder von Eternalyst, über Non-Fungible Tokens, deren Akzeptanz in der Bevölkerung und in den Medien sowie über deren Zukunftsaussicht.Eternalyst handelt digitale Kunst, die auf der Blockchain in Form von Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) gespeichert ist. Mittlerweile versteigern, besitzen und stellen weltbekannte Akteure, wie die Auktionshäuser Christie's und Sotheby's sowie die Kunsthäuser Museum of Modern Art und die Saatchi Gallery, digitale Kunstwerke aus. Das Startup bietet auf der Grundlage von jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung professionelle Kuration von digitalen Kunstwerken und Kunstsammlungen an. Darüber hinaus hat das Unternehmen eine Expertise im Bereich Blockchain und sorgt für eine sichere Verwahrung digitaler Kunst nach höchsten Sicherheitsstandards. Außerdem gehören die Durchführung sämtlicher Transaktionen, Verwahrung der Zugangs-Codes, Versicherung der Sammlung sowie Performance-Updates zu dem Lösungsportfolio des Unternehmens. Eternalyst wurde im Jahr 2022 von Yannick Mayer, Lucas Pirker und Robert Seyfert in Vaduz gegründet. Das Liechtensteiner Startup hat bereits eine Vielzahl von Kunstsammelnden, Investierenden und Galerien von seinem Service überzeugt. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist es, die zentrale Anlaufstelle für die Bewertung, Kuration, Kauf, Verkauf und die Verwahrung digitaler Kunst zu werden.Digitale Kunst und die damit in Verbindung gebrachten NFTs waren in der Vergangenheit oft Gegenstand negativer Berichterstattungen, in der sie als hochspekulativ und wertlos beschrieben wurden. NFTs sind ein dezentrales Speichermedium, das die Blockchain-Technologie nutzt. Der Kunstwert wird dabei durch das auf dem NFT gespeicherte Werk bestimmt. Viele der negativen Berichterstattungen sind auf NFT-Projekte zurückzuführen, die Bilder und Kunstwerke in Form von NFTs mit geringem Wert veröffentlichten. Im Gegensatz dazu steht eine steigende Anzahl etablierter Künstlerinnen und Künstler, die digitale Kunst entdecken und nutzen. Durch die Speicherung in Form eines NFT auf der Blockchain ist digitale Kunst zudem nachverfolgbar, authentifizierbar und einzigartig.

As we move toward October, the first a few intermittent episodes reminding us of the artistry behind our plant and garden love, the artistry underpinning mother nature herself. This week we're in conversation with artist Libby Ellis – photographer who sees the fullness of creation in the many faces of the flowers who delight us. Libby Ellis is a fine art photographer based on the island now known as Martha's Vineyard homeland of the Wampanoag people and nation who named the beautiful island Noepe. Monochromoatic and often single focused Ellis' work lands in my heart in a similar way as a Georgia O'Keeffe painting or a Dorothea Lange portrait – all of them capturing the essence of one subject while contributing insight into the workings of life itself – nature, plus the workings of humanity and its perceptions. In the case of Libby Ellis – the focal point include everyday flowers from Cosmos to musk roses, hibiscus to magnolia. And her work has been featured from various locations on Martha's Vineyard including the Featherstone Center for the Arts and the Carnegie Museum to London's Saatchi Gallery for the Royal Horticultural Society's 2022 Botanical Art and Photography exhibit, from the Harvard Divinity School to large scale projection against a high rise building in Denver, CO. Libby joins us from her studio in Edgartown MA (on the to share more about her photographic eye and gardener's heart.

Courtesy of the artist and Eli Klein Gallery © Zhang Dali Zhang Dali was born in Harbin, China in 1963. He graduated from the painting department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing with a BA in 1987. An influential figure in socio-political artistic movements in China, Zhang Dali has, for decades, challenged the conventional with his social documentation in graffiti, sculpture, photography, and painting. Zhang was exiled from China after graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and spent six years immersing himself in Western art and art history in Italy. Upon his return to Beijing, he developed a keen interest in portraiture (usually of himself), documentary and public urban art, often interrupting spaces with confrontational political statements. The photograph series 'A Second History' consists of propaganda and found images under the rule of Mao, which have been doctored or altered to the Chairman's artistic 'vision' of politics and appropriation. He is critically recognized as one of China's first graffiti and street artists. In 2011, Zhang Dali's work was featured in New Photography 2011 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The New York Times reviewed the show, mentioning that “the evocation of Orwellian busywork constantly varnishing truth for the benefit of dictatorial dominion is chilling to contemplate.” In 2014, Zhang Dali presented a comprehensive solo show at Klein Sun Gallery titled Square, which featured his cyanotypes, fiberglass sculptures, and paintings. Art in America praised Zhang's work as it ”compels his audience to acknowledge those who are damaged and marginalized, in hopes of expanding civic awareness and empathy” and stated that “it is now time for the Western media to accord Zhang recognition for his powerful, courageous artworks, which speak up for those who cannot freely speak for themselves." His work is in public collections including Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; The Saatchi Gallery, London, UK; Smart Museum, Chicago, IL; and Asia Society, New York, NY. Zhang Dali currently lives and works in Beijing, China. Zhang Dali Dove (41), 2021.

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha and photographer, David Benjamin Sherry have a deeply personal and moving conversation about the decisions and influences that lead David to pursue photography and to work in the uniquely exuberant and process forward manner that he does. https://davidbenjaminsherry.com David Benjamin Sherry (Santa Fe, NM) is an artist whose work is both challenging and reinvigorating the American Western landscape tradition. His work revolves around interests in environmentalism, queer identity and alternative analog film processes. He's best known for his colorful landscape work, brought upon by the desire to explore the last remaining wilderness in America. Through numerous projects, Sherry's work expresses deep concern for the rapidly changing environment, while continuing to sustain a queer sensibility in the hetero-male dominated canon of landscape photography. Sherry has referred to himself as a “nostalgic futurist” and currently uses a large format 8x10 film camera in order to reflect and understand our connection within the contemporary American landscape. Sherry was born in 1981 in Stony Brook, NY and lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He received his BFA in Photography from Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 and his MFA in Photography from Yale University in 2007 where he was awarded the Richard Dixon Welling Prize.

This episode we're looking at how photography has the power to change attitudes and is increasingly blurring the lines between fashion and art. We talk to two young photographers. Mahaneela and Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-nti, exhibiting at The New Black Vanguard, which runs at the Saatchi Gallery till late January. The exhibition is curated by writer, critic and editor, Antwaun Sargent, is sponsored by Burberry and focuses on fashion portraiture that celebrates black culture. We chat to Maryam Eisler, the Iranian-born photographer whose exhibition ‘If Only These Walls Could Talk' is at the Alon Zakaim Fine Art Gallery on Cork Street. Her photographs are set in the gorgeous, world-famous hotel Nord-Pinus in Arles in the South of France, which she's used as a beautiful and glamorous setting to celebrate the beauty and sensuality of the female form. We discuss both exhibitions and have a fascinating conversation about the responsibility that photographers feel to document political shifts and current affairs and celebrate the power photography has, particularly via social media, to shift perceptions and ultimately change the world.

Raffi Kalenderian is an artist who studied painting at the University of California, in Los Angeles. Subsequently, he did artist residency at Idyllwild Arts Academy, California, and at Medium, St. Barthélemy. Raffi uses oil paint, watercolors, graphite, and colored pencils, sometimes combined with a collage of photocopied material. His portraits show people surrounded by domestic environments; patterns of clothing and furniture build elaborate abstractions. In his work, The artist reflects on leisure and portrays a young society that seems to be always waiting for something.  Raffi has held solo shows at the Buchmann Galerie, Berlin; Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich; Brand New Gallery, Milan; Susanne Vielmetter Gallery, and Black Dragon Society gallery, both in Los Angeles. His participation in group shows was notably at Setareh Gallery, Dusserdolf; Saatchi Gallery, London, and Taymour Grahne Gallery, New York. His work is in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA.

Sarah Dwyer (b. 1974, Ireland) is a painter who lives and works in London. Drawing is at the heart of her process, often combined with painting, printmaking, and sculpture, resulting in reimaginings of the familiar through exuberant color palettes and lively approaches to mark-making. Incorporating both figurative and abstract imagery, her dynamic compositions are the result of processing her own surroundings and the human day-to-day experience, in addition to an indulgence in our desire for play. Surfaces, in turn, retain traces of process and development within their own archive and present the viewer with a navigable visual history. Dwyer earned a Master's in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2004 after an MFA from Staffordshire University in 2001. Her work has most recently been exhibited at Fabian Lang Gallery, Zurich; PiArtworks, London; Pigeon Park, Manor Place, London; in three solo shows at Josh Lilley Gallery, London; Hastings Contemporary, Hastings, UK; Hair & Nails Gallery, MN; Rochester Art Center, MN; Bloomberg Space, London, UK; Kyubidou Gallery, Tokyo, JP; Jane Lombard Gallery NY, NY; Fe McWilliam Gallery, NIR; Royal College of Art, London, UK; Saatchi Gallery, London, UK; The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, UK; Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Dublin, IE.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Charlotte Colbert (@colbertcharlotte) Language, psychoanalysis, socio-political constructions of gender and identity are at the heart of Colbert's practice. Spanning film, photography, ceramics, and sculpture, she questions narrative structures and storytelling, weaving surreal and fantastical mise en scene in a documentarian approach to characters, figures, and people. Fiction becomes a way to approach the truth and the most intimate emotions. Straddling the fine line between fine art and film, Colbert's films have strong philosophical undertones and often play on questions of time, space and identity, often dark and surreal with a hint of comedy.​Selected Shows: Mademoiselle, CRAC Centre Regional d Art Contemporain Occitanie, Sete, France (2018); From Selfie to Self Expression, Saatchi Gallery, London, UK (2017), Daydreaming with Stanely Kubrick; Guests V&A Museum of Childhood, London, UK; Istanbul International Art fair; Art Basel; Small is Beautiful, Flowers Gallery; Dancing at the edge of the World, Sara Zanin, Rome; Birth, TJ Boulting.

Spencer Tunick has been documenting the live nude figure in public, with photography and video, since 1992. Since 1994, he has organized over 100 temporary site-related installations that encompass dozens, hundreds or thousands of volunteers, and his photographs are records of these events. In his early group works, the individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape. The bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These group masses, which do not underscore sexuality, often become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy. The work also refers to the complex issue of presenting art in permanent or temporary public spaces. Spencer stages scenes in which the battle of nature against culture is played out against various backdrops, from civic center to desert sandstorm. In 2002 he started to work with standing positions for his group formations referencing traditional group portraiture. Now, for some installations, he adds objects that the participants are often holding or wearing and has included body paint. Spencer has and continues to make group installations/photographs elevating awareness of HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ rights, equality and climate change, among other issues. Near the end of installations, for the final setups, he sometimes separates the participants into smaller groups to make additional assemblages: sometimes by sex, sometimes by age, or even by hair color. However, no one is ever excluded from an installation because of the color of their skin, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, race, religion, or political affiliation. If you can make it to an installation you can participate, unless of course there are space limitations. Spencer could not make his art without the generosity of the participants. He is eternally grateful for their participation. He wishes he could credit everyone in his individual and group photographs but there are hundreds and thousands who have taken part collectively. In exchange for taking part, participants receive a limited edition print. Spencer's temporary site-specific photographic installations have been commissioned by the XXV Biennial de Sao Paulo, Brazil (2002); Institut Cultura, Barcelona (2003); The Saatchi Gallery (2003); MOCA Cleveland (2004); Vienna Kunsthalle (2008) and MAMBO Museum of Modern Art, Bogota (2016), among others.

Michelle Harton (b.1983) is an Irish artist who works mainly in acrylic and water soluble drawing materials. She has studied art at Fermanagh College in Northern Ireland, classical portraiture and figure painting and drawing at the private art school and international arts colony Studio Escalier in France, plein air painting with David Mynett in Majorca and is an alumni of the intensive Creative Visionary Program with Nicholas Wilton along with many years of self experimentation.Her previous work has included a collection on the folklore and legends of her hometown Cavan and a large solo exhibition based on the “Fairy Stories of Oscar Wilde”, a book her Grandmother gave her as a child. Her most recent exhibition was at StART in the world renowned Saatchi Gallery in London and is now represented in the UK by Vache Bleue Galleries.  Michelle is very interested in creating interactive art buying experiences.  Her first project of this kind "The Mystery Art Sale" saw her pre-sell 37 paintings in 30 days on social media to collectors who bought without knowing what their painting would look like. "The STOP PAINTING Project" handed the age old question of "When is a painting finished?" over to the art buyer through a constantly developing collection of 30 paintings that were painted over until they all sold. These projects have encouraged her to seek out newer, creative, fun ways to interact with art buyers. Her current work “The Land Of Gemini” is an exploration into the creation of mystical dream worlds for introspective art collectors as a place to escape to and meditate in to recharge their energy and spirit. Many of the works can be orientated in two directions allowing one painting to become two. The works are landscapes from a lucid dream world and the imagined wildflowers that grow there, with glimpses of a contemporary colourful take on the bucolic scenes of Ireland and countries Michelle has lived including Vietnam and Peru.On today's episode Michelle talks about her creative process and how Irish folklore has inspired her work. Interested in seeing some of Michelle's work.

How can an artist translate their studio practice into different architectural spaces? Why does the scale of a studio matter? How can an artist overcome creative block? What is the best way to approach a commission from a company like Facebook or ITV? What is it like to create a site-specific work in a mental health unit? Why is writing about other artists' work valuable to your own practice?After discovering Charley's work via the wonderful charity Hospital Rooms, I was excited to visit her South Bermondsey studio. Charley's paintings are very striking in their combination of clashing elements: she paints with bold strokes of colour and layers this with digital components, grids, glitchy symbols - many very familiar to viewers in this digital age. Charley says “By remixing the things that I've consumed visually and putting them onto a canvas I make fantastical worlds where intuitive smears of paint co-exist with hard-edged geometry, and the language of Modernist painting meets the everyday aesthetics of screen culture to make something new but strangely familiar. I believe that everyone should have a place to belong and if you don't fit into the real world, you have the power to make your own.'The world that Charley has created clearly appeals to many - she has exhibited internationally - at Saatchi Gallery and the Hauser & Wirth Showroom in London as well as galleries in Rome, Yantai, New York and Gdansk. Her clients include House of Vans, Facebook, ITV - and the amazing charity Hospital Rooms.

Sam is a textile artist and designer who has been working in the creative industry for 25 years. Three years ago, she decided to start ‘Child Of Project'. Sam says, ‘It was born from grief, from the death of my father, but it's kind of turned into the most beautiful creative project which is all about resilience and human strength'. I'll let her explain more, ‘The project… is all about opening up the conversation around addiction and recovery but in a really creative and contemporary way'. In fact, just a few weeks ago Sam had a meeting with the head of education and learning department at Saatchi Gallery who invited Child Of to do workshops and host an exhibition in December. Sam reveals, ‘it is an art project but it something we see long-term as a creative platform that's going change the way we look at addiction and also feed people with great information about creativity, art and technique and introduce them to different artists who are from all over, from all disciplines'.The exhibition will include ‘an ever-growing tapestry' which everyone can get involved with. All you need to do is join the crowdfund and as your reward you can send in a word or phrase to remember someone, a song lyric, or a secret you are ready to tell which will be made into ‘small pieces of art' and added to the tapestry. The exhibition will also include work Sam is doing with kids from the London East Alternative Provision School where they will produce designs which will be embroidered by @handandlocklondon. Plus, visual art she has been working on over the past few years based on conversations with people who have experienced addiction like ‘I was present for the first time'. The last piece of the exhibition is a film explaining all about the project. The interview was recorded on Monday 6th September at 9 am BST.www.crowdfunder.co.uk/child-ofwww.samdcruze.com/blog/child-of Where to find more info about Tinted Specs Podcast… Linktr.ee: linktr.ee/tintedspecspodInstagram: @tintedspecspod⚡️Facebook: @tintedspecspod - Tinted Glasses Podcast
