Curator on the Go Podcast

SE3 EP10 - Interview with Adele Webster
Curator on the Go Podcast
Early in life, found the escape creativity provided, the peaceful place your brain wanders while creating. Everything she paints begins in nature; the way water moves, the way clouds form. Natural landscapes, seascapes and horizon lines are a constant theme throughout her creations. She works on birch panels with acrylic and high gloss resin, allowing the wood to peek through and add a natural, textural element to her work. Adele paints to find peace and joy and hopes that it's reflected back to everyone that sees it. Learn more about the .

SE3 EP8 - Interview with Steve Perry
Curator on the Go Podcast
paintings range from intimate to mythic. There is a story going on in Stephen Perry's work... but you're never quite sure what it is. There are recurring themes: animals, nature, humanity, technology… and the places and moments where they intersect. The creative approach has a unique contemporary feel - a "stylized realism" - with smooth gradations, subtle blends and a distinct use of light and shade. Stephen Perry’s background includes photography, graphic design, film making and 3D animation.

SE03 EP07 - Interview with Gail Blima
Curator on the Go Podcast
is a creative innovator who has explored photography, representational art and mixed media. She uses the power of language to make a statement and draw out emotion. “By layering vibrant acrylic accents over a collage base and incorporating the written word, I connect the audience to cultural references that are ironic, humorous or directed from pop culture. The first thing people notice about my art is the clear-cut message. I want to convey a feeling of empowerment, optimism, and positivity through my paintings.” Learn more about the .

info_outlineHello! You are listening to Curator on the Go Podcast! I had the pleasure of speaking to Canadian abstract artist Linds Miyo.
Born and raised in California, her work strives to evoke the strong, direct light of her childhood. A trauma survivor, Linds is interested in the balance between intention and that which is beyond our control, the meeting place between our best efforts and happenstance. She often uses broad representational panes of textured black in her work, washing layers of color over top - folding the dark relief of the past into multi-dimensional present-day, with honesty, happiness, and sparkle. Linds Miyo lives and works in Toronto and is currently in a studio residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
