ARTish Plunge

Growing up amongst the airbrushed t-shirts and dolphins of Destin, Florida, muralist TAYLOR SHAW learned how to hustle to make the most of the tourist season. Years of hard work in restaurants and side gigs honed many of the skills that have enabled Taylor to make a career creating site-specific murals which have become their own tourist attractions. But how Taylor got out of the kitchen, through an MFA program and into a custom van ready to install a 120-foot mural is a great yarn best told by Lazerchef himself.

As Lynne Maphies, former Curatorial Assistant at the Blanton Museum of Art, knows firsthand — for many artists, “day jobs” do more than pay the rent. In this fascinating behind-the-scenes conversation, Lynne shares the 10 year process that Veronica Roberts, former Blanton Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, directed to create the standout exhibit “Day Jobs.” A dialogue with conceptual artist Sol LeWitt prompted Roberts to explore the different ways that artists establish relationships or get material inspiration from the jobs that sustain them. After receiving hundreds of recommendations from colleagues, scholars, gallerists, and artists in the field, Maphies and the Blanton team selected 100 works by 38 artists whose “day jobs” had a significant impact on their work, grouping works by categories of “other” work the artist performed: Service Industry; Industrial Design; Media & Advertising; Fashion & Design; Caregivers; Finance, Tech & Law; and Art World. Lynne also shares her own “day job” impact, one that redirected her onto her curatorial path.

How do you see Brahms Symphony No. 4? For Scottish orchestral bassist and abstract painter Kirsty Matheson, music—like days of the week— have color.

A lifelong love of prairie led sculptor and former architect BILL MCBRIDE to the rolling sea of grass and sunflowers that is Matfield Green, Kansas—population 45. Serendipitous introductions to fellow environmentalist, artists and conservation enthusiasts enabled Bill to find a home for his own work and his ongoing passion project, the Prairie Art Path. Initially lacking a road map, Bill “lived conceptually,” doggedly pursued his artistic dreams, and eventually created the place he imagined. “You have to keep listening to yourself and find your models.” Find BILL: Website: www.billmcbridestudio.com Facebook: @wamcbride Instagram: @MatfieldGreenWorks Mentioned: Matfield Green, KS (learn) Matfield Station (learn) Cottonwood Falls, Kansas (visit) Tall Grass Prairie National Preserve (visit) Flint Hills, Kansas (explore) Prairie Art Path, Bill's artwork and others (discover) Riverbank Neighbors (learn) Wes Jackson, environmentalist / Land Institute in Salina, KS (learn) Friends of Chicago River (learn) Chianati Foundation, Marfa TX (visit) Donald Judd , American artist, minimalism (learn) Pioneer Bluffs, Center for Flint Hills Ranching Heritage (learn) Ton Haak, Dutch writer, designer, (learn) Tall Grass Artist Residency, residency and bunkhouses (explore) The Bank / Matfield Green Works, gallery & event space (explore) Mike Miller, sculptor (learn) Andy Goldsworthy, English sculptor, environmentalist/ land art (learn) Mark Arts Center, Wichita, KS (learn) Find Me, Kristy Darnell Battani: Website: https://www.kristybattani.com Instagram: kristybattaniart Facebook: kristybattaniart Did you enjoy this episode?

What’s it like to be a “non-traditional” art student at age 55? For Texas-based portrait painter CLIFFORD BUNN, seeking a BFA in Studio Art after a career in law enforcement with the Oakland PD was both cathartic and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. As a police officer, Cliff worked among “the layers of lives existing around us” that most of us don’t see, but he often felt like his own voice was not being heard either. Initially turning to art as a therapeutic way of dealing with grief for loss of his son and other family members, Cliff eventually decided to seek a degree in Studio Art at the University of Texas. Cliff shares his fascinating journey from the streets of Oakland to art school critiques, as he begins the next phase of life as a working artist. His perspective is unique, current and inspiring for artists at all stages of their own art exploration.

What would you give to have a lifestyle that allowed you to “drop everything and have a swim” in the ocean any time the mood struck you? Cornwall painter TARA LEAVER has created that life for herself, finding inspiration in the sensory experience of being immersed in the “magical garden of wonders” in the cold Atlantic waters. A self-proclaimed introvert, Tara has created a “balance in constant motion” between creating her own fluid paintings and developing an online community for like-minded artists. But life was not always so easy-breezy for Tara. Tara candidly shares how she grappled with depression and how she found her way back to art making. Tara acknowledges that her personal struggles have better enabled her to manage her own art “demons” while helping other artists tackle their own. An equally talented writer, Tara’s considerate wisdom provides guidance and reassurance to her Happy Artist community.

Often associated with haute pate painting, Atlanta-based abstract painter BOB LANDSTROM found his preferred art medium through metaphysics and Southwestern landscapes—hand-colored volcanic rock. After decades juggling a conflicted existence as both an electrical engineer and an evening/weekend painter, Bob’s persistence in getting his artwork seen has paid off. Now, only a few weeks into his new “full-time” painter role, Bob shares how he has built his presence in the art world, including an upcoming release of his first NFT on Super Rare.

Chilean watercolorist GERALDINE MACKINNON didn’t find her artistic direction in art school. Instead, the defining moment in her creative career occurred while assisting an archeological study on Easter Island, crawling through the caves with her sketchbook and headlamp trying to capture the “truth of the plants.” Fastforward, Geri has developed a sustainable career in the demanding practice of botanical watercolor illustration. Botanical illustration requires the artist to remove all of her assumptions about the subject matter and focus intently on what she actually sees, which for Geri serves as a kind of meditation. Geri's newest adventure: luscious, meticulously handcrafted mineral-based watercolors available from her storefront in Santiago and online.

With her hands in prayer, still life painter MARYAM AMIRYANI begins each day in her studio with the simple request: The courage to start; the courage to persevere; the courage to finish. From her childhood in Iran to Paris, Washington and New York, Maryam followed a professional career path in and around the arts, helping to show and sell other artists’ work before she finally settled into her own painting practice. Sharing her elegantly sparse, light-filled studio in Marfa, Texas with her husband and fellow painter Nick Terry, Maryam now creates small, intimate oil paintings often influenced by textures and colors of her early years in Iran. Maryam balances the solitary nature of an artistic life with an abundance of community service projects that benefit a variety of communities.

How has a small peasant woman with rudimentary art supplies and childlike paintings of fantastical beasts forced the world to acknowledge the absurdity of war? Ukrainian folk artist MARIA PRYMACHENKO (1908-1997) —dubbed the People’s Artist of Ukraine—produced hundreds of small, colorful gouache paintings of imaginary creatures, flowers and village scenes filled with traditional Ukrainian decorative patterns that captured the heart and soul of a nation. In this ARTish Words episode, we discuss why the recent Russian bombing of a small art museum that housed some of Maria’s works has unified resistance, why art matters in this moment, and what efforts are being made to protect artworks like Maria’s.

As in the sea, so in the studio. In this ARTish WORDS episode, Cornwall painter and educator TARA LEAVER shares what the sea has taught her and how it provides a roadmap for the artist journey. Using three simple words “I don’t know” followed by one word “just,” Tara works her way through things that initially seem daunting, as in: “I don’t know” what I will paint today, so I will “just” go in and clean my brushes. Tara insists that she is not a superhero or even unusually brave; rather, she is just someone who wants all the bounty of what the sea—and an artist life– have to offer. Move closer to thing you are afraid of and you just might discover your own magical sea cave.

What do Winnie the Pooh, Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes and Greta Garbo have in common? They all have creative work (but not all of their work) that entered into the public domain this year, thereby enabling all of us to enjoy, use and build upon those works. In this episode of ARTish Words, we hear from Jennifer Jenkins, Director of the Duke Center for the Study of Public Domain, helping us understand the purpose and benefit of the entry of works into the public domain, as well as celebrating this year’s extraordinary class of public domain entrants including works from William Faulkner, Willa Cather, Fanny Brice, Al Jolson, Rudolph Valentino, Buster Keaton, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, among many others. As a proponent of educating artists on our rights as creators and users of artistic works, this episode of the ARTish Plunge encourages artists to understand our rights so we can exercise control over how our work is seen, heard and shared. Host Kristy Darnell Battani also shares tips on how to locate public domain sound recordings, books, movies, compositions and visual works.
