For Episode 7 we go back for the second half of Episode 5's interview with Emily Gherard, which begs the question "just which episode is this anyway?" (which sounds like a failed Judy Bloom novel for young adults). In this episode (whichever number it is) we talk about Emily's experience as an art instructor, our mutual social awkwardness, and chronic bridesmaid's syndrome.

For episode 6 I visit  artist  Juan Alonso Rodríguez  in his downtown Seattle studio. Juan emigrated here from Cuba as a child and his journey as a musician and an artist had him criss-crossing the states for several years before settling down in the Pacific Northwest. Christmas, San Francisco in the '80s, and strolling musicians are just a few of the topics covered.

The Makers Podcast Episode 5 (part 1)

For Episode 5 I visit Emily Gherard at her home and studio. Emily is a fantastic painter out of Seattle whose vision has been recognized locally as a Neddy Award finalist in 2013 and as a nominee for The Stranger's annual Genius Award this last summer. Personally her paintings have held me rapt since I first saw them and if I thought some sort of voodoo spell would devine for me the secret to their sublime creation I would have started collecting chicken bones a long time ago. This is part one of a two-part episode, the second of which will drop on Friday, December 19th. Bonus Xmas music from Lola and the Red Hots helps you get your yule on.

For episode four I visited the studio of post human contemporary artist Dylan Neuwirth. Dylan's work in glass, and neon not only references social media but employs it as sculptural medium in itself. At first blush cold and conceptual, his work is actually deeply rooted in explorations of identity and persona. Music, addiction, and Lenny Bruce are among the topics that pop up.

Episode 3 brought gallerist Beth Cullom to my house to discuss her journey from Puyallup ragamuffin to art dealer at-large. Beth's passion is ridiculously infectious and her ideals are iron-clad. From her early years of musical commitment to the day she shed her brick-and-mortor gallery for loftier pursuits, Beth has been unwavering in her belief in the power of human expression. Plus she's got a pug, so, you know, she's on the team regardless.

For our first conversation, I visit the studio of Seattle artist Robert Hardgrave. Robert has become a good friend over the past few years but there was still much of his story I didn't know as we sat down to record this week's episode. Skateboarding, cancer, Twisted Sister, hot ears, Robert's artwork and the unending enthusiasm of Gallerist Beth Cullom are among the many topics discussed. To view Robert's work head over to www.roberthardgrave.com, you'll be glad you did.
