  • David Diamond - Transformative theatre coach

    David Diamond - Transformative theatre coach
    May 2 2025
    David J. Diamond has spent more than 25 years lighting fires under artists—in the best way possible. He’s a theatre director-turned-career coach who helps creatives figure out not just how to “make it,” but how to make it matter. He got his start in the buzzing nightlife of NYC, running lights and sound in clubs before stepping into leadership roles at some of the biggest theatre organisations around. As Executive Director of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation in the ‘90s, he created game-changing programs, published must-have resources, and doubled the organisation’s reach. Not too shabby. Since 2001, David’s been a transformative coach for artists who are ready to go deeper—not just in their craft, but in how they live. He’s worked with everyone from fresh-out-of-school playwrights to seasoned directors who’ve hit a wall, helping them align their creative dreams with real-life joy and purpose. He’s also a global connector. David co-founded La MaMa Umbria in Italy, where artists from around the world come together for workshops, retreats, and pizza-fuelled breakthroughs. He’s done work in Serbia, Kenya, Iraq, Russia, and beyond—always with a focus on community, cultural exchange, and creativity that crosses borders. Along the way, he’s taught at Columbia and Pace, led workshops at schools like Yale, CalArts, and Carnegie Mellon, and even mentored theatre artists on U.S. Army bases in Europe (yes, really). During the pandemic, he launched Conversations for Theatre Artists—a free series that kept creatives inspired and connected through tough times. David’s the guy you call when you want to figure out what’s next, what matters, and how to make art that means something. He’s got the chops, the heart, and the playlists to prove it.

  • Vanessa Perry - The abundant nature artist and photographer

    Vanessa Perry - The abundant nature artist and photographer
    May 2 2025
    Vanessa is an artist who paints and takes photos, but it’s more than that. Her work feels like remembering something you never knew you forgot. It’s textured and layered and often a bit mysterious—in a good way. She lives by the sea in the southeast of England, and that’s a big deal in her work. Water is her thing. Not just how it looks, but how it moves and sounds and feels. The way it disappears and comes back. The way it holds things. Vanessa’s process is kind of like archaeology but with feelings. She doesn’t always know what the piece is going to be until it starts becoming itself. She uses oil paint and plaster and starts with instinct more than planning. A lot of her photography is black and white, which makes it all about light and shapes and the in-between bits. People say her work is calming but also full of emotion. Some call it “Vanessence,” which honestly sounds like a perfume, but also kind of fits. Vanessa thinks that when you look at her work, you’re part of it. You bring your story, and the art brings its own, and something happens in the middle.

  • Joe Mangrum

    Joe Mangrum
    Apr 16 2025
    Joe Mangrum is an internationally recognised artist known for his vibrant sand paintings and immersive installations. Based in New York City, he has created over a thousand large-scale, ephemeral sand artworks in public spaces across the world, captivating audiences with bold colour, intricate detail, and spontaneous execution. Born in Florissant, Missouri, Mangrum studied Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After graduating, he travelled extensively across North America, exploring natural landscapes and indigenous sites that deeply shaped his artistic direction. He began by making ephemeral artworks with collected flowers and plants, reflecting his growing interest in impermanence and the natural world. In 1995, Mangrum settled in San Francisco, where his work expanded to include found objects, technology, and environmental themes. His first solo installation was presented at San Francisco State University. Over time, his visual language evolved into a fusion of urban patterning, marine life, botanical motifs, and cross-cultural symbolism—all delivered in vivid “Pop Art” colour. Mangrum’s signature sand paintings are created entirely by hand, using a unique method of pouring coloured sand in layers—sometimes with precise, close-up lines, other times with diffused gestures from above. These works are both intricate and fleeting, drawing on influences from street art, mandalas, and natural systems. In 2003, he received the Lorenzo de Medici Award in New Media at the Florence Biennale for his piece Fragile. Since then, his work has been exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Arts and Design and the Asia Society in New York, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, the Sunshine Museum in Beijing, and the Doe Museum in the Netherlands. Highlights include his 24-hour performance installation Asynchronous Syntropy at the Museum of Arts and Design’s “Swept Away” exhibition, and his participation in Watch Your Step at The Flag Art Foundation. He has also exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery Rotunda in Washington D.C. and undertaken residencies at the de Young Museum, Ashe Cultural Center (New Orleans), and Red Gate Gallery (Beijing). In 2018, Mangrum was commissioned by designer Prabal Gurung to create a sand installation for New York Fashion Week. He has also completed permanent public works, including a sand painting embedded into the pavement in San Francisco’s Mission District. His work has been commissioned by festivals such as Coachella and Art Basel Miami, and collected by private and institutional patrons around the globe. A committed educator, Mangrum has given talks and workshops at the School of Visual Arts, SUNY Geneseo, Adelphi University, and the United Nations International School, among others. He frequently works with students and has presented in both museum and classroom settings. Mangrum is also an advocate for environmental and humanitarian causes, supporting initiatives such as Love For Japan, Riverkeeper Alliance, and World Environment Day. His work has been featured on Sesame Street, in PBS’s Spark, Humans of New York, The New York Times, CNN, LA Times, and the UK’s Antennae Journal. From sidewalks to galleries, Joe Mangrum transforms spaces into living canvases—inviting viewers to pause, engage, and reflect on the beauty of impermanence.
