Podcast appearances and mentions of Wayne Thiebaud

This site hosts audio only. To see the video of this special episode, please go to, https://youtu.be/8NdUlrhpjHkMarie is an internationally exhibited painter. Her oil paintings address the tension of urban landscape and the natural world. Inspired by frequent walks through various trails and open spaces in California, her work reveals her observations of the changes and dynamics of nature in the face of the ongoing climate crisis. Engaging notions of abstraction, her work references the surrounding landscape using atmospheric color shifts, fragmented imagery and multiple viewpoints to suggest the ideas of flux, change and instability in the environment. Marie taught painting and color theory at CSULB for 30 years, where she developed an Advanced Studies in Color class.June is a recipient of the COLA Fellowship, the Guggenheim and the California Community Foundation, Fellowship for Visual Artists.  June uses abstract painting to explore how color, repetition, movement, and balance can serve as conduits to spiritual contemplation and interpersonal connection to her African-American roots. Exploring the psychological construct of skin color or tone through pattern and abstract painting has proven to be a revealing gesture and these ideas are explored in her two ongoing series: the Energy Wheel Paintings inspired by her meditation practice and her Flag Paintings, which explore the alignment of multiple identities such as race, nationality, gender, or political leanings.  June's public art works include a Venetian glass mosaic at the Metro Pacific Station in Long Beach Influences: Marie has two main influences: first, the New York abstract school where her formalist abstract artist teachers were students of the pivotal figure in Abstract Expressionism, Hans Hoffman. That experience that has always remained with her. Second, were her teachers Elmer Bishoff and Joan Brown at Berkeley, members of the "second generation" of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Marie always loved the California painting of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud and the landscape expanse.June's influences include Varnette Honeywood, Romare Beardon, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, David Hockney and Alma Thomas. Another influence was the 1976 LACMA show ‘Two Centuries of Black American Art.' These works had a profound, formative impact upon June. Other inspiration/explorations have drawn from cultural and African American historical references, sacred geometry and very recently, the Benin emblem of the river leaf.Find more information at: www.mariethibeault.com  and www.luisdejesus.com/artists/june-edm 

Ölfarbe, richtig schön dick aufgetragen, in Rosa, Hellgelb, Schokoladenbraun und Weiß. Der US-amerikanische Maler Wayne Thiebaud, dessen Kunst oft unter „Popart“ einsortiert wird, hat Kuchen nicht nur von der Form her realistisch dargestellt, sondern auch von der Konsistenz oder Haptik her. Man möchte fast ‘reinbeißen. Im Laufe der Jahre ist ein umfangreiches süßes Buffet entstanden. Thiebaud ging es weniger um den Inhalt seiner Malerei als um das Studieren des Mediums an sich. Diese nüchterne Herangehensweise behielt er auch nach dem Wechsel in andere Sujets wie Personen und Landschaften bei. Thiebaud ist Weihnachten 2021 mit 101 Jahren in Sacramento, Kalifornien, gestorben. „Er hat seine Pinsel zusammengepackt und ist auf der Suche nach neuen Szenerien zum Malen.“ So ähnlich äußerte sich eine seiner Töchter in einem Nachruf auf ihn. Das erscheint mir sehr passend, denn Thiebaud hat bis ins ganz hohe Alter immer weiter versucht, seine künstlerische Meisterschaft weiterzutreiben.

Marie-Rosalie, or Rosa, Bonheur (1822-1899) has been lauded as the most celebrated woman artist of her time. Her breathtaking animal paintings showcase not only her technical skill, but also her so-called “radical” ideals. But just how “radical” was Rosa—who has been lauded as a feminist art historical figure—actually setting out to be? Today's Image: Rosa Bonheur, The Horse Fair (1852–55).

Acquavella Gallery has represented the artist Wayne Thiebaud since 2011. The artist, who died on Christmas day in 2021 at the age of 101 was serious about his art, teaching and tennis. How serious was he about his art? Thiebaud worked on one painting for 32 years. Now the Fondation Beyeler has a show of 65 works by Thiebaud that will introduce the breadth of his work to a global audience. In this podcast, Eleanor Acquavella explains the unique factors that have led to a dramatic rise in value in the Thiebaud market and the reasons it might have taken so long for the artist to achieve this moment of recognition.

In this episode, Jose speaks to Annie Fang, one of the stars of Your Own Personal Exegesis by Julia May Jonas. Fang plays Beatrice, one of the members of a church youth group in New Jersey, where she hopes she will be able to find answers to her problems. The darkly comedic work touches upon questions of what it means to believe and ultimately who is in charge of your salvation. Unlike her character, Fang isn't religious, but the two share similar questions about what it means to be human and find their purpose. Fang talks about how studying economics led her to perform, and how Kelli O'Hara, Wayne Thiebaud, and Mark Rothko, have shown her the meaning of the divine. Learn more about your ad choices.

Craig Stephens is an artist who delights in painting everyday things. I started following Craig after a chancing upon his Instagram account. I was instantly drawn to his small oil paintings of french fries, toy dinosaurs, peanut butter sandwiches, sneakers, hamburgers, and other everyday objects. I knew this was a painter I wanted to talk with! Craig Stephens was born in Sacramento, California in 1963. He received his B.A. in art studio in 1993. During his undergraduate years, he had the privilege of taking classes from Gary Pruner, Roy DeForest, David Hollowell, and Wayne Thiebaud. He began teaching high school art classes in 1996. I'm pretty sure that in high school I would have loved having Coach Stephens as my art teacher! Craig spent over twenty years teaching high school kids, most of whom had never held a paintbrush intending to paint something realistically. Naturally, they would wonder what to do. This got him started on thinking about what he does when he paints. The result? A new book titled: The Beginner's Guide to Oil Painting: Simple Still Life Projects to Help You Master the Basics. Inspired by artist Duane Kiser's painting-a-day practice, Craig has completed a small painting on nearly a daily basis since 2006. When asked why he paints French fries, toy dinosaurs, avocados, or dead astronauts on old paint can lids, he says: “I started to realize that painting could be the whole idea. What you paint doesn't really matter.” Thus, he paints whatever is at hand - not because of the object itself, but rather, because he is Drawn to Form.

I had painter Sue Rother on the podcast today. Sue is married to oil painter Francis Livingston, and, you know, they're a dynamic duo of artists. Both of them started in illustration almost 50 years ago and moved into fine art over the last 20 years.It was fun to talk to Sue about her trajectory and how she made her way through the illustration world, especially in the timeframe of the early and mid-seventies. During that time she had to compete for jobs in a primarily male-dominated industry. So we talked a little bit about that, but also just what it's like to be married to another artist.Sue is a unique human being, and I've known her for a long time, so the conversation was very animated and laid back with lots of laughs. Sue Rother on episode 181 of Art Dealer Diaries.

As a visual artist with an affinity for words, I know there are a lot of talented artists out there who are also great writers. So to honor the written word and to prove that blogs are not archaic, I am going to alternate introducing you to artists through interviews with introducing you to artists through their words by sharing blogs, articles and other writings with you. With the artist's permission, of course. Welcome to ARTish WordsIn this first ARTish Words episode, I want to celebrate the life of one of my absolute favorite artists who passed away on Christmas Day —Wayne Thiebaud. Like a piece of chocolate cream pie, Thiebaud's work makes me feel grounded and content, aware of contrasting flavors and textures, simple but decadent, a bit of nostalgia mixed with a hint of optimism. In this episode, I share a blog post from Maryland painter Jennifer Kahn Barlow, who learned from Thiebaud that “food images can be art and phthalo blue can have a prominent place on an artist's palette without overwhelming it.” We will also hear the words of Laguna Beach artist Hedy Buzan who shares insight on Thiebaud's work as being “simultaneously accessible and deep, rooted in art history and slyly funny, idiosyncratic yet universal.” Hedy also shares her observations about Thiebaud's last exhibit, “Clowns.”And finally, we get a brief introduction to the Slow Art Day movement and this year's events on April 2, 2022. I am always on the hunt for good writing.

Painter Wayne Thiebaud is best known for his carefully studied still lifes of ordinary objects such as hot dogs, sweets, and lipsticks. It's his cherry-topped cakes, lush with frosting, and brightly hued slices of pie that first come to mind for many of his fans. The pleasures of diners and dessert carts, rendered in thick paint, evoke a bygone era. But what could be misinterpreted as saccharine nostalgia is often cut through by a sort of sadness. The blue shadow around a plate … the downward gaze of a pair of swimmers.  Thiebaud's landscapes, showcasing the steep streets of San Francisco, and the golden hills of California, feature an intensity of light and color, as well as his distinctive brushwork and lush paint. Thiebaud lived in California for most of his long life, settling in Sacramento and teaching at UC Davis. Wayne Thiebaud died on December 25, 2021 at the age of 101. The artist worked until the end of his life — he was 100 years old in August of 2020 when The New Yorker magazine featured one of his iconic ice cream cones as its cover image.  We're celebrating Thiebaud's life with a rebroadcast of his 2005 appearance at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco where he spoke to Wendy Lesser, founding editor of the Threepenny Review. He talks about his early career, the artists he most admires, and his approach to teaching.

Three years and  150+ podcasts later I figured it was time for a small break.

Da quando Marcel Duchamp ha ribaltato un orinatoio e l'ha piazzato in una mostra, i musei e le gallerie sono diventati dei supermercati in cui si possono trovare oggetti di uso comune, lattine di birra e cibi di ogni tipo. In questa puntata Costantino e Francesco ci dicono che ruolo ha il Pad Thai nell'arte contemporanea, esplorano il rapporto tra artisti italiani e ferramenta e ci spiegano perché non dovremmo mai fidarci di un sacchetto di patatine.In questa puntata si parla di Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Leo Castelli, Marcel Duchamp, Jean Arp, Brian Eno, Pierre Pinoncelli, Sherrie Levine, Andrea Fraser, Nicolas Bourriaud, Ralph Fiennes, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Dan Graham, Tino Sehgal, Maurizio Cattelan, Jorge Pardo, Donald Trump, Darren Bader, Andreas Gursky, Wayne Thiebaud, James Rosenquist, Man Ray, Claes Oldenburg, Gabriel Orozco, Piero Manzoni, Mario Merz, Jannis Kounellis, Michelangelo e Lawrence Abu Hamdan

Wayne Thiebaud championed unappreciated pastries. For instance, the 1963 Display Cakes sits at the center of the Pop Art movement. It’s tempting to thus label this masterpiece as such. After all, Pop Art elevates popular mainstream subject matter. This spotlights our desires, and even obsessions. Thiebaud’s pastry portrayals point to America’s sugar fixation. He’s got a point there. But there’s much more to these immaculate sweets. Their impact transcends Pop Art. That’s because they’re as philosophical as they are delectable.

Nancy Willis is an artist, activist, and educator. Until the pandemic, she taught "Principles of Design," an art class for pastry students at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Napa Valley. As an artist and chef, Nancy works to bridge the divide between the culinary arts and the fine arts through exhibitions, workshops, and her art practice. We spoke about her work at the CIA, activism with the Yazidi refugee community, and Nourish, an exhibition project she curated at the Napa Valley Museum. Her course at the CIA taught students traditional design conventions and how to look at art and analyze it through their own experiences. She required students to visit a gallery or museum and select a work they could translate into a plating design. For many, it was the first time they had been to a museum. In this intensive course, many students had profound responses that allowed them to work through past trauma.In 2015 Nancy curated NOURISH, an exhibition that brought together chefs and artists, including Anne-Sophie Pic, Grant Achatz, Richard Diebenkorn, Miro, Picasso, and Wayne Thiebaud. Through a Kickstarter campaign, she was able to present a diverse group of works across all media. She also traveled to Valence, France, to install a Nest camera in the kitchen of Anne-Sophie Pic, one of four female Michelin starred chefs, that live-streamed the kitchen during service into the museum. In 2017 she was invited to participate in an exhibition related to President Trump's travel ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, which allowed her to engage with the Yazidi refugee community. She traveled around the world to conduct monotype workshops with Yadizi refugees of all ages. On a trip to Europe, she met Nadia Murad, a recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize (2018), and led her and her husband through a monotype workshop in her hotel room. In conducting workshops with diverse communities, Nancy brings her extensive background in hospitality to art-making that fosters intimate exchanges that are often transformative. 36:51 Lightning round questions.51:35 One work of Art she would own.57:22 Wish for the Art World.We recorded this episode on May 28, 2020.More about Nancy:Artist Nancy Willis lives and works in the Napa Valley. As a painter/printmaker she works with themes of intimacy and social connection by creating series such as The BED, RSVP, the CHANDELIER and TERRAIN. With paint or printing ink, Willis uses an additive and subtractive process to explore how color, light and atmosphere can instill meaning and evoke a sense of place.Until the Covid-19 restrictions, Willis taught classes at the Culinary Institute of America/Greystone, Nimbus Arts and the Napa Valley College. She quickly pivoted to offering online classes out of her studio, including Bake Like an Artist, and Postcards from the Edge. Her entrepreneurial projects include Path of an Artist tours, leading artists to France and Sundance for annual painting workshops. Willis' curatorial projects include Discrepancy/living between war and peace (2011) and Nourish (2015). Her recent exhibitions include NEXT: Print Matters in Houston, Texas and her solo exhibition, Savor the Moment, in Oakland which was an homage to Paris. In 2018/19, Willis was awarded two Community Fund Grants for her project Conflict Zone, a collaborative printmaking project with Yazidi women, men, and kids from northern Iraq.

Deladier Almeida discusses his life story of growing up in Brazil and starting as an architecture student, graphic artist, and illustrator before gravitating to fine art, first starting as a portrait painter inspired by a book on John Howard Sanden's work before becoming a landscape artist. Del shares his method and motivation giving me insight into how he creates his work, how his architecture with city planning influenced his landscape paintings, not only from a technical standpoint, but from an emotional standpoint as well. Del moved from Brazil to California where he studied under such luminaries as Wayne Thiebaud, Roland Peterson and Roy Dean Deforest at UC Davis. This podcast details an interesting journey from São Paulo all to Davis, California, and everything in between. I think you'll really enjoy this interview, I know I did and am thrilled to be able to represent his work at Medicine Man Gallery.

From still-life bowls of fruit and pastel paintings of cake – to sensually photographed peppers and iconic Campbell soup cans, food is one of our favorite things to portray and observe through the visual arts. It also plays a role in some of the earliest known artworks – where the animals painted on cave walls may have represented sources of food for early humans.This week, we look at the evolution of how the culinary and art worlds have become tightly intertwined.

Merrill tells of uranium mines and working as a cowboy in 1950's Colorado, as well as the various characters he met through his skill with the brush including (but not limited to) Fritz Scholder, Greg Kondos, Eric Fischl, Wayne Thiebaud, and Elaine Horowitz. We hear about his Grand Canyon paintings and the ways in which Merrill orchestrates the cliffs and stone in his landscape paintings. All of this and more on this episode of the Art Dealer Diaries.

Kristopher Barkley and Nikky Mohanna are two people who are literally changing the shape of Sacramento’s skyline. They’re designing and constructing buildings that aim to show off the Capitol City at its best, and they’re striving to innovate the places in which we live, work and play. Barkley, who has just hit the 30-year mark at Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture (which is about to celebrate its 70th birthday), has designed or contributed to nearly all of the firm’s projects, including remodeling of the CalPERS headquarters, renovation of SMUD’s headquarters, and the new Powerhouse Science Center on the riverfront. At age 29, Mohanna has quickly gained the reputation as one of Sacramento’s most innovative homebuilders, with her about-to-open Midtown “microunits” apartment building, 19J, and her about-to-break-ground 10K, a mixed-use building in Downtown that combines a hotel with studios and co-living spaces. Listen to this great conversation with a “young whippersnapper” and a “seasoned veteran” as they talk about their groundbreaking projects in Sacramento, and find out how their views compare and contrast on architecture, design, urban planning, and the future of live/work/mixed-use living in California.

In fifteen years, people of retirement age will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history. But, the staff writer Adam Gopnik finds, the elderly are poorly served by the field of design, whether it’s a screw-top plastic bottle or the transportation system of a major city. Gopnik visited the M.I.T. Age Lab, where he tried on a special suit that simulates the pains and difficulties of advanced age for research purposes. And, to put the issues in context, he called a much older friend: the painter Wayne Thiebaud, who, at ninety-eight, is still leading an active career and is preparing for an upcoming exhibition. Plus, the writer Elizabeth Strout has set many of her books in Maine, including “Olive Kitteridge.” She brought us to one of her favorite haunts: a steep hill on her college campus, where she would sit and look out over the world.  And in a new sketch by Colin Nissan, a routine call for technical support leads to a chilling transformation.

Western born artist, Francis Livingston was one of the top ranks of American illustrators, including the book cover for "Dances with Wolves". Francis Livingston's paintings have been exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Livingston was awarded both Gold and Silver Medals from the New York Society of Illustrators, San Francisco Society of Illustrators, and Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles. Francis Livingston first studied at the Rocky Mountain School of Art in Denver before moving to San Francisco in 1975 to attend the Academy of Art. He has been an instructor in the illustration and painting department for 25 years. Influenced by Sargent and Whistler, Francis Livingston painted primarily in a monochromatic style until he began to study the work of the Bay Area Figurative Movement, including Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud, and others. That led to experiments with color and a fondness for the California and French Impressionists.Livingston is now one of the top western artist focusing on Native and Southwest imagery whose inspiration included the Taos artists and Maynard Dixon

Mel Smothers, a successful New York City artist, shares his experiences finding his unique voice as an artist during a midlife change of careers. Mentoring by famed pop artist Wayne Thiebaud allowed Mel to achieve his lifelong passion of being a professional artist. Mel takes us through his life journey as a drag racer, a commune hippie during the Summer of Love, a forest ranger, and fiddle player to finally find his voice as a professional artist.

What is it that keeps you going as an artist? Where do you find your “Can-do spirit?” Is it a constant struggle for you to stay motivated and energized in your work? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone! My guest is figurative artist Vonn Sumner. In our conversation, Vonn talks about growing up in Palo Alto, CA where he was exposed to a lot of art, specifically bay area figurative artists. Vonn also talks about his decision to study at UC Davis and his experiences there with the artist, Wayne Thiebaud. Further on in our conversation we talk about painting, the eternal gap between the artist's vision and what comes out on the canvas, and much more! Why it’s important to have a mindset of constantly learning. As many eager art school graduates launch out into the choppy waters of navigating their new careers, the mindset often shifts from learning to creating. What has been your experience of the shift from formal education, if you went that route, to building your portfolio and marketing your work? My guest, figurative artist Vonn Sumner shared with me what his mindset was after leaving UC Davis. Vonn worked hard at continuing to cultivate a mode of constantly learning and questioning. He points to this attitude and mindset when we talked about his inspiration for painting. What can you learn from Vonn’s unique take? Make sure to view images of Vonn’s work located at the end of this post! Wisdom learned from studying under Wayne Thiebaud. Which individuals have been some of the important figures that impacted you in your career as an artist? Were they family members, mentors, instructors, or someone else? For figurative artist Vonn Sumner, it was his time studying under renowned artist Wayne Thiebaud at UC Davis. In our conversation, Vonn shared a few important gems of wisdom that he learned from Wayne. As hard as it can be to convey through words, Vonn said that Wayne taught him and his peers “How to see.” Vonn says that this is more than translating the world through art, it had a deeper component, it was about how to see painting and the world in a way that was rigorous and personal. I loved hearing all of Vonn’s stories and insights from studying under Wayne and I hope you do too. Setbacks and challenges along the way. What has your journey as an artist been like? Have you been through the mountain tops of success and down in valleys of despair? What have those experiences taught you? In my conversation with Vonn Sumner, he walked me through his early career and what it was like to find success and then make the decision to walk away when the market started to change. While Vonn’s move from sunny and artsy California to quiet Pennsylvania was difficult at the time, he now looks back at that episode as a period of growth and flourishing. It was really refreshing to hear Vonn’s take on this chapter in his life and I hope artists like you can connect with his journey. You’ve got to make the decision to refuse to quit. As many of you know, the life of an artist can be full of exciting highs and frustratingly long lows. What do you do to keep sight of the reason why continue to create? My guest, Vonn Sumner was kind enough to open up about his own struggles and some important advice he received on this topic. When Vonn was working at UC Davis as a teaching assistant under Wayne Thiebaud, he approached him looking for advice about his career. In response, Wayne said that most artists quit when they are about 45 or 50 years old. From that experience, Vonn walked away with a determination to stay in the game and refuse to quit. How does Vonn’s take resonate with you? Outline of This Episode [1:00] I introduce my guest, Vonn Sumner. [2:30] Von talks about early art influences. [6:00] The gap between what you imagine and what you can create. [12:00] Von talks about his inspiration for painting. [16:30] The mindset of constantly learning. [23:00] Takeaways from learning under Wayne Thiebaud. [28:30] What did Vonn do after art school? [38:30] How 9/11 impacted the art scene in New York. [43:00] Setbacks and challenges along the way. [55:00] Refusing to quit and pushing through. [1:02:00] The struggle with art and business.

Ann Rea is a San Francisco-based artist and the founder of Artists Who THRIVE.  Her artistic talent is praised by her mentor, Wayne Thiebaud, an American art icon. She has been featured in Fortune, The Wine Enthusiast, and Art Business News magazines, in The San Francisco Chronicle, in the book Career Renegade by Jonathan Fields, and on HGTV, ABC, and The Good Life Project. She is also a favorite instructor on Creative Live's "Money and Life" channel, broadcasting to over one million students worldwide. Ann is the creator of "The MAKING Art Making MONEY Semester ®," eight foundational online business and marketing courses. Her students study with fellow artists from around the globe via live video calls within a welcoming and supportive community. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/annrea In this episode, Ann discusses: -How she became the “artist mentor” accidentally. -How the press she received brought artists to her, seeking help, and that is what set her on the path to helping them sell their art without feeling like a sell-out. -Stereotypes like “starving artist” and how they negatively affect the opinion and motivation of artists. -All of the positive changes that occurred in her art and in herself once she started getting paid for it. -Knowing exactly how much money you want to make, and by when. -The importance of writing down your goals and your plan. -What do you want, precisely?  How are you going to get it?  And who can help you?  -What an artist’s plan to make money should be comprised of. -Dr. E’s sagely words that every entrepreneur is an artist and every artist is an entrepreneur. -How she would rather be pulled toward something than to push herself toward it. -Knowing the difference between your goal and your overall mission. -A synchronistic event that she considers to be a “magical intervention” that got her to paint again. -Her words of encouragement for people who might be suffering from things such as depression, anxiety, or insomnia as a result of not pursuing their creative passions. -The power of exercise and a healthier diet. -How if you don’t schedule your creative passion, then there is a significant chance that you won’t get to it. Ann's Final Push will inspire you to find the thing that PULLS you – what do you stand for and what do you stand against? Quotes: “The press is what really brought other artists to me.  They were looking for help on how to sell their art without feeling like a sell-out.” “There are cultural messages about making art and making money.  Those messages were distorting the thinking and the confidence of artists unnecessarily.  I really wanted to set the record straight.” “We could probably sit here for a good hour and list all of the negative stereotypes that are thrust upon artists. Unfortunately a lot of artists swallow these stereotypes and then they spread them amongst themselves.” “A plan to sell art without a plan is a plan to sell no art.” “Your plan is kind of like a compass more than it is a roadmap.  You just want to make sure that you’re pointed in the right direction.” “Instead of focusing on what’s holding me back or what’s bogging me down, I spend a considerate amount of effort remembering my mission.” “This is not a dress rehearsal.  If you’re not happy, you need to start to bust a move, and move in the right direction.” Links mentioned: Making Art Making Money Artists who THRIVE Connect with Ann: Website / Facebook / Twitter On the next episode: Melissa Sue Stanley [Website] & Max Bare [Website]

A book on Wayne Thiebaud and thoughts on projects (and processes) that are similar... but different.

Artist Ann Rea, talks about her experiences with anxiety/depression and how running and art are therapeutic. Go-to, real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, and Kari discuss the scale—how to interpret the scale's reading, why to take body measurements to track your progress, and how to view and approach the scale healthfully. Kari also shares some of her experiences with being a former Weight Watchers facilitator and how to deal with the scale. Finally, Kari shares some information about San Francisco trail running. Featured Guest and Runner of the Week: Ann Rea Ann Rea first caught Kari's attention when she was featured in an interview by Alex Blumberg (from This American Life and Planet Money) during a podcast class. Ann shares how, why, and why she started running. She suffered from severe anxiety, depression, and insomnia for ten or fifteen years. She took the traditional route of seeing a therapist, anti-anxiety medication, anti-depressants, sleeping pills, and every time she would go to her appointments, she was told about new medications. She found she had no passion or interest in her occupations at the time (cubicle Hell). Her psychiatrist said that based on her medical history, she would probably always suffer. She asked for a protocol to wean herself off of her medications, but her doctor didn't agree. She tried to wean herself off, but that didn't go well (think Emergency Room). At the time in Sacramento, CA, no one suggested exercise to help with her anxiety and depression, but she started walking anyway, hoping that would help. One day as she was walking, she sprang into a run and started running. When she moved to San Francisco to be a full-time artist and to build her business, she knew that she'd have to manage her stress if she was going to achieve her goals. Ann started running even more consistently. If she had had a psychiatrist, such as Dr. John Ratey, things might have turned out differently. Ann talks about neurofeedback, and she's become familiar with Dr. George Pratt, who is a noted performance psychologist whose latest book is Code to Joy: The Four-Step Solution to Unlocking Your Natural State of Happiness. Kari says that medicine can be magical, but she also likes integrative medicine. Ann runs every Sunday morning with her friend Felix, who is a renowned psychic medium in San Francisco. Ann worked with disaster relief, and she had to find a way to balance the reality of having to react quickly and finish up cases per day. Listen to her “The Artist's American Life” interview with NPR's Alex Blumberg. She had the opportunity to see an amazing cross section of the United States and a real perspective of what disaster is. The good news is that everybody can recover. Physical things don't matter as much as your health. To get herself out the door and start walking at first, she made small promises to herself. For example, when she was working full-time and selling her art on the side, she was often tired, so she'd get herself up on Saturday morning, get ready for a run, and get out the door. If she didn't feel up to a run, she'd turn back around. Jim Rohn said, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with,” so Ann was very clear in “firing” certain friends and be her own best friend. The act of being your own best friend means that you don't tolerate certain behaviors, and you look for people who build you up, and you do the same for them. She improved her diet as well, and running became her meditation. Ann talks about running in the middle of the day. It helps her shift from the left brain to the right brain. She chats about the Making Art Making Money semester.She's also launching a new website called com and has ArtistsWhoThrive.com. Move things from the “dream” category to the “plan” category. She took some a course on how to write a business plan at a small business development center to start her own art business. She was always very interested in marketing. She talks about running in Golden Gate Park, along Land's End, and the Presidio of San Francisco. Her goal is to enjoy her runs, break a sweat, and clear the cobwebs in her head. She paints contemporary landscapes and works in oil and charcoal. Her subject is color and light, and she was mentored by Wayne Thiebaud. You don't need to be an artist to be inspired. Ann shares a story about several years ago when she was working as a project management consultant. Two of her co-workers had Stage 4 cancer, and she gained a new perspective on life. Fear is just an illusion that is not going away, so stare it down and run through it. She mentions a book called Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance by Jonathan Fields. Please find a doctor that you feel comfortable with and who is integrative if you're having any mental challenges. Every body is different, and we evolve. So at the end of the day, you're responsible for your happiness. Don't forget to join the TRLS e-mail list by going to therunninglifestyle.com/join today for special announcements! Serena Marie, RD Serena gets feisty about the scale this week and explains the science behind water weight associated with runners. When Kari was a Weight Watcher facilitator for seven years (2006–2012), she was trained to say, “If you're trying to lose weight, you should not get on the scale every day. If you're trying to maintain weight, then getting on the scale every day is OK.” Serena's take is that the National Weight Control Registry recommends to weigh frequently. This is good especially for someone who is tracking his or her weight to look at trends. This is a really important topic, because it drives Serena crazy as a dietitian, and it drives many of her clients crazy as well. She talks about why water weight is a real thing and explains the science behind it. There's an app called Happy Scale where you can track your weight daily, and it gives you an average so you can see the trends. Specifically for runners, they may be especially susceptible to the scale changing. When you run, it's an inflammatory process. We're creating oxidative stress in the body. The threshold of when that stress becomes overwhelming to the system will vary per person. We can train our bodies to adapt to high mileages, but there is going to be an immediate, acute, short-term effect of inflammation and stress to the body. When you run a marathon, you might find that you gain weight. A capillary leak happens, where you've caused stress to the body, and it makes your blood vessels leaky. When that happens, a protein responsible for keeping water in the right place leaks outside of the cells, which can cause water retention. During Serena's first marathon (as a senior in college), she gained weight. It's important to figure out what the right distance is for you and what makes your body feel good. Being injured, Kari now has a different perspective on how much she really wants to run and how much her body can take down the road. Serena is very interested in whether or not high-mileage running causes damage to the body. How do you measure and hold yourself accountable? Weight frequently, write down trends, take before/after pictures in the same lighting and clothing, and use a measuring tape to record progress—not by the number on the scale. Any negativity in the struggle to lose weight will knock you down. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Serena is grateful for receiving e-mails from her clients when they tell her victories that they have had. One of her current male clients has a lot of weight to lose, and he's doing well with little changes in his life. Kari is grateful for a quote that has been her mantra for 2016: “Promise yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.” —Cristian D. Larson, an American New Thought leader Kari also likes the following: “Eyes on your own plate.” ~ Serena Marie, RD “You don't need to carb load for your desk job.” ~ Serena Marie, RD “When you point the finger at someone else, you have four fingers pointing back at you.” During the Gratitude Jar segment next week, Kari will read a listener's e-mail. Shout out and thank you to Bethany and Alexis for meeting Kari in Phoenix, AZ! Next week, Kari talks with Ashley Reaver, RD, a registered dietitian, who specifically works with endurance athletes at Inside Tracker. Serena Marie, RD, chats about blood sugar and a product that might be able to help diabetics. The Delaware Marathon Festival in Wilmington, DE, will be on Saturday, May 7 (5K and kids race) along with a TRLS dinner meetup (details to come). Reach out to Kari to let her know if you can meet up! On Sunday, May 8, the marathon, half marathon, and the relay races take place. Kari will be the relay race finish line announcer.

The artist returns to paint several studies in oils on canvas, shaping colors inspired by sunlight. Week by week, patrons witness the evolution of their painting by way of a dedicated online creative diary. They then choose one or more studies for Ann Rea to reinterpret on larger custom canvases. A beautiful signed storybook chronicles this personal experience. Ann Rea draws on the tradition of the French Impressionists and the influences of her mentor, contemporary painter Wayne Thiebaud, an American art icon. Rea continues to garner national media attention, including in magazines such as Fortune and Wine Enthusiast. Ann Rea hosts a limited number of in-studio visits as well as Art & Wine Pairings. She is also a spellbinding guest speaker at conferences and business events where she shares her inspiring personal story and innovative business approach to the art market. Visit her website to see samples of her amazing art. Pro-Track Profile I talked with Ann recently and asked her about her background as a San Francisco-based artist and the inspiration for the unique experience of art she shares with clients.

The San Jose Museum of Art is pleased to offer this audio tour to compliment your visit to the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Art Collection. In it you will hear commentary by curator Heather Green, interviews with several of the artists in the exhibition, and insight into the collection provided by Harry W. Anderson himself. You can download it to your iPod or other audio device for your next visit to the museum! In this episode William Allen speaks about his large scale painting, Half a Dam, in the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection; on view at the San Jose Museum of Art October 13, 2007 - January 6, 2008. Broadly defined, to denature is to change the character or condition of something. In the milieu of contemporary painting, sculpture, and work on paper seen in this exhibition, it is the connection between artist and nature that has changed. Gone are the romantic vistas and picturesque scenes of traditional landscape painting. Instead we find images of pollution and alienation that mirror the post-war urban-industrial landscape, depictions in which artistic media have been pressed into embodiments of natural elements (and vice versa), and abstractions that highlight a distance between the world perceived and the world represented. Featuring works by artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, Roy DeForest, David Hockney, Vija Celmins, Ed Ruscha, Frank Stella, Louise Nevelson, and Richard Diebenkorn, the art of De-Natured presents a sampling of the many ways that artists have engaged with their changing environs. At a time when we are increasingly “growing up denatured,” as one New York Times writer recently described the divide between urban and pastoral life, these artistic collisions with nature (or its absence) have much to tell us about our own relationships with the environment, both natural and urban. This exhibition was curated by Heather Pamela Green, a doctoral candidate in Art History at Stanford University, and features work drawn from the Collection of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, as well as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Anderson Graphic Arts Collection.
