Seeing Color, Texture, and Design

In this episode, host Ben Harley introduces artists working in a variety of visual mediums. We begin this episode by sitting down with artist Halim Flowers, who discusses his journey from spending 22 years incarcerated to becoming a successful designer, visual artist, and poet. Later, we hear from two New York City printmakers. First up, printmaker Jeremy Ruiz talks about how printing differs from other artforms as a medium. After, artist Barbara Nessim shares how she has kept her artistic integrity throughout her six decade career as a visual artist. Finally, we hear a conversation between three of the National Art’s Club’s Artist Fellows: Chellis Baird, Jessica Frances Grégoire Lancaster, and JoAnne McFarland. These three talented artists discuss with one another their works, their journeys to get to where they are, and their experiences being a part of an artist community.
