Her work can be subtly political and often humorous, with subjects about climate change, American over consumption and cultural commentary. Check out Laura's work on her website, or a... | 49m 33s | ||||||

| 3/24/22 | An Aerial Perspective: Color Field Artist Laurie Blessen | Laurie Blessen lives in San Francisco and focuses on minimalist, color-field monotypes. Her works are bright and bold, with rectangular or square fields bumping against each other while intermingling with more delicate textures and pattern. Reminiscent of aerial views of landscapes and fields, Laurie says she creates with intuition leading the way. She says the “magic happens” when a 1500 pound steel roller presses her designs onto dense paper, and no matter how many prints she pulls, t... | 39m 37s | ||||||

| 2/16/22 | Making Humorous/Horrific Art: Karl X Hauser | Bay Area artist Karl X Hauser joins Jen for a conversation about his long career in art. Karl creates narrative drawings and sculptures that are quirky, playful but also a little dark. His characters spring from his imagination, and seem to be up to childlike antics, but always with a slightly sinister edge. Working in materials such as cast metals, kiln formed glass, wire and nails, and keeping them in a raw unpolished state, Karl’s materials tamper any overly playful sense of innocenc... | 55m 44s | ||||||

| 9/22/21 | This May Not Work | How many times a day do artists think this to themselves? This thought happens on the micro (with each new change to a piece of work) as well as on the macro (a whole career). In this shorty episode, Jen talks unscripted about how to take more risks with art marketing (and maybe not hate it quite as much) if we throw the "this may not work" fear into the trashcan. Maybe there are some nuggets in here. And maybe not. Hey! If you'd like to be part of the Artist Alliance, and be part of ... | 14m 45s | ||||||
| 9/12/21 | On Being Different | "Different is better than better". Author and all around deep thinking marketer and branding expert Sally Hogshead coined this term. She argues that "different is better than better" because better is transient. But what does “different is better than better” mean for artists? In this episode, art dealer Jen Tough discusses what being different means as far as your art and art marketing, how to push your practice in little ways to make art that is just a little bit different from the p... | 17m 20s | ||||||
