Growing up amongst the airbrushed t-shirts and dolphins of Destin, Florida, muralist TAYLOR SHAW learned how to hustle to make the most of the tourist season. Years of hard work in restaurants and side gigs honed many of the skills that have enabled Taylor to make a career creating site-specific murals which have become their own tourist attractions. But how Taylor got out of the kitchen, through an MFA program and into a custom van ready to install a 120-foot mural is a great yarn best told by Lazerchef himself.

ARTish Plunge
03/03/21 • 47 min
Tamiko Braun is a Munich-based, mixed-media artist with a love for vibrant colors, textures, and unexpected additives like sand, coffee, and marble dust. As a process-oriented artist, she focuses on creating layers in her work, stripped away to reveal designs of varying depth underneath. Fluent in Japanese, English and German, Tamiko also has over 20 years of consulting, strategic planning, business development and marketing experience with international technology companies.
Just a Southern California "beach girl" at heart, Tamiko shares how a health scare made her re-evaluate her intense, international travel-oriented career and reconnect her to art. Tamiko shares how she grew her art practice, developed commission work and learned to trust her intuitive practice. As Tamiko says, "It's never too late to reset."

Massacussetts-based ceramic artist KERI STRAKA is fascinated with micro worlds: those inside the human body and those in nature, like the small dramas of a tide pool. Her love of quiet observation takes shape in the organic ceramic forms that hint of aquatic life, internal human structures and laboratory experiments.
A professor of ceramics at Framingham State University, Keri finds ways to sneak into the biology classes and used a residency at the Boston Biomedical Research Institute to further explore the similarities between scientific research and her own creative work.
Keri shares how she helps students work towards a holistic creative life, seeking to build a sustainable mix of endeavors to support the broader goals.

Episode 19: Humberto Ramirez
ARTish Plunge
06/30/21 • 62 min
The Artish Plunge dives into deep conversation with Vermont-based multimedia artist, curator and professor HUMBERTO RAMIREZ, exploring the unique role of the arts as a language and the challenges —and rewards—of teaching art in an academic setting.
Escaping the political and social turmoil in Chile of the 1970s, Humberto came to the US to study molecular biology with an eye towards medical school before he felt the tug to study art. While his early paintings and video often reflected his political and social concerns, he shares how his current work has evolved to reflect his surroundings and stage of life, using space, light and color to create contemplative, abstract botanical fantasies.

What can an artist learn inside a football huddle? A lot, if you are former professional football player turned watercolorist RICH SAMUEL.
A relentless work ethic, persistence and teamwork are just a few of the qualities football instilled in Rich —or “Sweet Feet” as he was known in the day—that have allowed him to create a booming art practice and studio that has grown into an East Austin community hot spot. With effusive positive energy, Rich juggles his own painting and clothing line with hosting community events featuring local jazz performers, comedians and painting classes.
Rich shares how the weight and responsibility of being the only Black-owned gallery in Austin gives him a sense of purpose that energizes his own art practice. Rich also reveals how he uses TikTok to fuel his art sales.

How do you see Brahms Symphony No. 4? For Scottish orchestral bassist and abstract painter Kirsty Matheson, music—like days of the week— have color. Kirsty shares how she balances her professional music life with her painting career that took flight during a 100 Day project in 2021. This fascinating conversation allows us to dip into synesthesia, a neurological condition shared by Kirsty and many other creative minds that creates a crossover between senses, in Kirsty’s case allowing her to paint classical music.

Episode 1: Sharon Kyle
ARTish Plunge
02/24/21 • 44 min
Sharon Kyle is a multidisciplinary artist best known for her unique use of texture and materials. Sharon often incorporates found ordinary objects like rusted metal, wood, paper and cloth, alongside industrial materials such as concrete, asphalt and insulation foam. Sharon’s work transforms old, rusted, discarded materials into elegant but provocative statements on aging, gender, and cultural values.
In this conversation, Sharon Kyle discusses how her early experiences in real estate and construction influenced her choice of materials, how she made the plunge to return to college in her early 30s, and how she supplemented her early art practice with sales positions working with educational materials.
Sharon's infectious laugh and candid discussion of aging make this a particularly engaging conversation.
