Adri Norris is on a mission to tell stories of women who have made history. She does so through her art, her teaching, and her speaking. Adri is especially interested in shining a spotlight on women of color who have been overlooked in our history books. In this latest episode of the podcast, I asked her about her work, her teaching, and her activism. Less than one month ago, Adri was asked to design and direct the Black Lives Matter street mural in front of the Colorado State Capitol build...

One of the first steps an artist makes when turning professional is to decide on an art business name, and many new artists make this more complicated than it should be. Allow me to bottom line this entire article: If you are a fine artist, your first choice is to always use your given name for marketing your original art. You Are an Artist, Not a Company Art history is a history of individual artists, not of company names . Since my masters degree is in art history, I naturally want you...

Grieving is a necessary byproduct of being human. Perhaps its the loss of a pet, a dear family member, a relationship, or a safe structure that was taken away from you, along with the memories it held, in a disaster. We will all grieve about something at one point or another. Its an emotion we share. When I first approached Jan Heaton to be a guest on the podcast and talk about grief, we were living in a different world. We had a recording session on the calendar and then the world as we kn...

Peeking at artists journals is my definition of heaven. I love to see how ideas develop and change--how creative thought processes evolve. The illustrations that often punctuate artists journals are a bonus that cant be found in the journals of those less visual. But dont keep a journal to satisfy my whims. Keep one for yourself.
