14 MAR 2024 · I contemplate the visual artist, writer, poet, songwriter and performer, Patti Smith with a focus on her writings and photographs for the 2011 exhibition, "Camera Solo," at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.
“Camera Solo” was the first museum exhibition of Patti Smith’s photography in the United States and included “seventy photographs taken by her Polaroid camera, one multimedia installation, and one video work."

29 JAN 2023 · After 5 years and over 100 conversations with women artists, gallery owners and collectors, I am taking an extended hiatus from the show. I will embark on a writing journey to fulfill my deep desire to craft and publish a memoir about my engagement with the visual arts. All the ways "looking at art" has impacted my life. It will also celebrate women artists who liberated me from both imposed and self-imposed constraints. A wild ride indeed!

Goldstein captures the stories of these "anonymous" women, memorializing them through her vivid portrayals. Goldstein's reverence for women lost in history books is awe-inspiring.

14 DEC 2022 · As many of you who listen to this podcast know, I am a visual arts educator, historian, speaker and of course, a podcaster. I never considered myself a maker. Until now! I took up photography to learn and experience first-hand the artistic process. This episode journeys with you my immersion into a photography series titled "The Other Side of the Mirror," employing a toy camera, the Holga.

29 NOV 2022 · Abstract and Conceptual female artist Valerie Ellis draws us into her visual world through her curiosity of the human mind and condition. A psychotherapist for twenty years, Ellis paved an unconventional pathway in making art.
.
Her visual vocabulary is submerged in a very hands on practice of pulling, spreading, crumpling media like paper and paper pulp. Her works deeply connect the viewer to the internal psychology of the human mind and experiences.
.
This episode includes an in-depth conversation with the artist.
