About this episode

This episode features a conversation with musician Sarah Elstran and painter Amanda Hanlon discussing their artistic processes and backgrounds.

Sarah Elstran is an independent musician that bridges the gap between bright-eyed pop composition and hands-on atmospheric live layering of voice. Her vocal loops give us the kind of detail and wide multi-octave range that we might come to expect from a marquee pop star, while her production decisions continually keep us guessing as to what rabbit holes her tracks might fall into next. thenunnerymusic.com Amanda Hanlon is a painter and printmaker. She lives and works out of her home located in a historic river town in Minnesota. Amanda has received a MFA in Painting from the University of Washington - Seattle, a BFA in Painting from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. She has taught classes in Painting, Drawing and Printmaking in Savannah, Georgia. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Minnesota, California, Georgia, Washington and Wisconsin. amandahanlon.com
