Hey Friends,

It has been a long time since I shared an interview with an artist. But the wait is over, and I am proud to share this long-overdue interview.

This interview was recorded last summer, and after having some massive ups and downs in my world, I am excited to have the space to share this fantastic conversation finally. So here it is, a discussion with David DiPasquale! Here is more about our artist:

Hailing from the state of New Jersey, David DiPasquale has been a visual artist for as long as he can remember. As a child, David would recreate his favorite cartoons and comics in sketches and drawings, and as he matured, his skills developed into a professional career as a graphic artist. He studied art at various institutions in New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia with a focus on illustration, graphic design, and painting, and it was during this time that he honed his incredibly detailed and visionary style. Taking influence from nature, Rastafarian culture, sacred geometry, and planetary and cosmic forms, David's art has been featured in various New England art galleries. He also enjoys performing live art demonstrations for friends and musicians. While he loves creating original and custom paintings, envisioning and bringing to life murals, logos and tattoo designs are also a passion of his. Recently he has connected with several clothing and apparel companies to create original design work to be distributed around the world. Those companies are iApparel based in California, farIapparel based in the Virgin Islands, and moonlitclothing based in Colorado/Texas. His work has a strong following in the US, as well as internationally having sold original art to such countries as Trinidad, Norway, and Australia! David currently lives in Upstate New York where he can be found toiling away at his next masterpiece.

Catch me painting murals all summer long. The next few events will be:

Hello, dear listener! September brings the shift of Autumn, so to celebrate this change of season with a beautiful conversation with a fantastic artist and teacher. Krisztina is our artist this month, and in this conversation, we talk about her process, how she paints as a way of sharing her life and experiences, her transition into motherhood, and the journey that has led her here. Here is some more about our artist:

Krisztina Lazar is a painter of imaginary realism. Her current body of work “Motherhood

is Metal” explores the alchemically transformative elements of having a child, from the negredo

of total dissolution, the albedo of Madonna-esque bliss to the rubedo of integration and

wholeness. Using both a Mische of oil and egg tempera and direct Alla Prima techniques to

render hyperealistic sacred art, Krisztina creates figurative and portrait paintings that exist in the

vesica piscis of fantasy and visionary painting.

Krisztina completed her BFA at Carnegie Mellon University in 2004 and her MFA

graduate degree in 2011 at the San Francisco Art Institute New Genres department. Her

paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows throughout the United States and Europe,

most notably at the H.R. Geiger museum in Gruyere, Switzerland. She teaches her unique styles

of painting to many students in group and private settings. Her work has been featured in

multiple articles, galleries and book publications. She currently lives and works in Northern

California.

Welcome to this bonus episode of the podcast for August. Today, I have the honor of sharing a beautiful conversation with a talented artist named Jade. Her work is truly transformative and filled with magic. Here is some more info about our dear artist!

Bio:
Jade Wolfe is an artist, art therapy student, and Reiki practitioner from Saskatchewan, Canada. Her work is a testament to the deep interplay between psychology, spirituality, and a profound relationship with the land. Born with an innate curiosity about the human experience, Jade pursued a degree in psychology, delving into the intricate workings of the human psyche. This academic journey planted the seeds of inspiration that would later bloom in her artistic endeavours. The exploration of personal grief, existential questions, self-discovery and spirituality became recurring themes that would inspire her intuitive, visionary work, as well as vibrant landscape paintings.
As an art therapy intern, Jade has had the privilege of working closely with residents in long-term care facilities. This experience has not only deepened her understanding of the therapeutic power of art, but has also honed her focus on spirituality, grief, and the significance of our relationship with the natural world. Through art, she has witnessed the transformative potential of creativity in the healing process, guiding individuals towards self-discovery and self-expression.
In addition to their work as an art therapist, Jade is a Reiki practitioner, further emphasizing her commitment to holistic healing. The integration of Reiki principles into her artistic practice imbues their work with an added layer of intention and energy, creating pieces that resonate on a spiritual level.
Jade's paintings are an invitation to embark on a contemplative journey. Her pieces navigate the intricate tapestry of human emotions, offering solace to the grieving heart and encouraging viewers to reconnect with their creative and spiritual essence.

Hello friend! So excited to share another amazing conversation with you. This time I had the pleasure of interviewing Charlotte Tara. Here is a little more about our artist!

About Me
I am an intuitive artist working in several creative media: I am a writer, currently writing in the fantasy genre; I am a visual artist with a focus on drawing and painting from my imagination and intuition; and I am a dancer.
The source of all of my creative work is the same. This source flows from the center of who I am, and is multifaceted. These facets are: Reverence and Wonder, Intuition, Imagination, and Trust and Non-Attachment. My artistic visions and practices are uniquely mine: a fusion of my own innate gifts and the loving presence and guidance of countless other beings, only a few of which have formally been my teachers.I live in Roanoke, Virginia with my wife, our twin children, and 11 other animals: one dog, three cats, and seven chickens. I grow tall sunflowers.

Happy 3 years to the Subnormal Podcast! To celebrate 3 years of creative magic, I have for you a fantastic interview with artist, energy worker, and teacher, Nancy Martin. Here is a little more about our artist:"Nancy Martin is a Chicana mixed media artist, she creates out of her home studio in Menifee, CA. Her passion is sharing the process of creating art primarily with women, mothers and children. She believes creativity teaches sovereignty, connects us to our authentic selves, offers mental and emotional healing while building self confidence, neural connections, mindfulness and leads to fun fulfilling individual growth. 

As a first generation Mexican American, Nancy was born and raised in the Inland Empire. She is primarily a self taught artist, yet she has a degree in Interior Design from FIDM, Los Angeles. A mother herself, Nancy understands the demands that modern aged mothers and women are up against and she has learned to use her art as a form of support for her mental and emotional health. In her motherhood journey with her 9 year old son, she has come to understand the beautiful connections that happen when mothers and children create together. She believes that bringing art into a community elevates the livelihood of its citizens and she strives to support her community with art. 

As an artist Nancy is currently showing her latest collection “The Root”. Which is a narrative art series that is about connecting with your creative intuition and allowing spiritual and mental connections too to guide her through the creative process. This guidance allows her to connect to her authentic self to in turn share her story. Nancy also uses art as a way to release negative conditioning, allow her mind to process trauma and pain and alchemize them into art.

Nancy offers a variety of freelance art and energy services such as Logo & Graphic Design, Digital Illustration, Art Event Wellness Facilitation, Live Paintings, Wall Muraling, Energetic Clearings and Kids virtual Art classes."

Hey Friends!

This month's episode is here! This month's episode is with visionary artist Jennifer. Here is some more about our artist:

"Jennifer was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1988. In the earliest years of her life, she lived in Los Altos, California where many of her earliest memories were of her making art. In 1994 she moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up in Utah, she consistently studied art throughout her adolescence, and in 2006 began studying oil painting with BYU art professor Sydney Bowman. In 2006-2007 she began taking independent college art courses with Sydney.
In 2008, she received a scholarship to The Academy of Art University in San Francisco where she looked forward to continuing her artistic education and pursuing her passion for painting. After studying painting at the Academy for two and a half years, Jennifer decided to accelerate her independent ideas of art and began an internship with San Francisco-based artist Hilary Williams whom she worked for several months. During her experience in the unique city of San Francisco, she was greatly inspired by the diverse and rich culture the city possessed and enriched by the abounding palette of different art forms and the unified vision of humanity within the community.

In 2011, Jennifer moved back to Salt Lake City for 9 months and began intensely focusing on her new work as an inspired artist-entrepreneur. During this time, she worked with Shiloh Sophia McCloud and participated in her BLOOMING ARTISTS program where she created a foundation for her art and business. Shortly after the program, she moved back to the Bay Area as a trampoline knowing she was heading to Europe, somehow.
In 2012, Jennifer traveled to Italy to attend the ‘Expanded Visions' painting seminar to study the renaissance painting technique called the ‘Mischtechnik’. Here, she was introduced to this lineage of art with international artists Laurence Caruana, Maura Holden, Amanda Sage, and A. Andrew Gonzalez.
In 2014, Jennifer studied with Philip Rubinov Jacobson and Mantra Cora in Boulder, CO to deepen her study of the Mischtechnik and to explore the diversity in this lineage. Here, she was greatly inspired by Philip and his way of teaching. She studied with him again in Payerbach, Austria the summer of 2016.
Jennifer has relentlessly exhibited her work in galleries and locations in the United States, such as Salt Lake City, Ukiah, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Denver, and Spokane, as well as Internationally in Brazil, Austria, England, and France.
Currently, she is residing in Southern Idaho; working full time in her art studio, and raising her sweet son Tyden; with her loving and devoted husband Ryan."
