The creation of my new book, Art Is About Being Whole: A Memoir, was a pretty epic journey from start to finish.

There is so little in the world that we can control. All we really have power over is our own actions, reactions, and the thoughts inside our head.

The covid pandemic changed all of us. …

They say that those who can't do teach. Unsurprisingly, teachers hate that phrase. It isn't true. And yet, for so much of my life, I believed it. I could be an art teacher, but I would never be an artist. I resisted the label mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. My version of being an artist wasn't worthy. But something has shifted. I'm …

Does truth exist? If it does, is it possible to know the truth? That's what me and Dr. Amy Winebarger talked about as we discussed Action Painting II by Mark Tansey.

Creating a work of art is a process—a process that can change who you are. Too often, we judge or rush our creative pursuits, ignoring the messages included in every brushstroke or written word.

Are you really engaged with the artwork when you walk into an art museum? Or are you too busy thinking about what you know about the art and artist? Perhaps you’ve even noticed other people reciting facts and background on a piece of art to whomever they’ve brought along. When I was younger, I was that person. I’d be all about the artist’s life, th…

This episode is part of the former Art Class Curator episode and is targeted specifically for art teachers. - I’ve noticed that the excitement and energy that comes with teaching wasn’t really there at the beginning of this school year.

When you’re a kid into art, it’s hard to imagine doing that and getting paid for it like a job. (We all know that old adage about starving artists).

My guest Glenis Redmond is an award-winning, professional p…

Over the last few months, I’ve really been exploring what really lights me up in my work. While helping teachers bring the joy of personal art connection to their students has been wonderful, I also know that I want to teach again and be in conversations about art rather than just helping others facilitate them. To that end, I’m offering a new prog…

Some pieces of art just make you uncomfortable. Maybe it’s a movie or scene that hits too close to home, or a book about a particularly violent event (real or fictional) that makes you squirm... or a painting that brings up regrets or painful memories. For Madalyn Gregory and myself, Marcos Raya’s 2000 painting The Anguish of Being and the Nothingn…
