What are some of the biggest issues that Kelly has seen in working with artist’s estates What can living artists do to start to prepare for their own legacy?

Solving For: The Starving Artist

With 3D printing, virtual reality and other technologies available, sculptors have an opportunity to explore the three dimensional in a way not previously possible. Join me as I chat with Nick Ervinck on how he harnesses these technologies to create works that speak to the present and the future, though remain grounded in the lineage of sculpture through time. As an artist I am particularly interested in the tension between nature and culture, between tradition and innovation. I try to push the limits of digital possibilities, while maintaining respect for the (art) historical legacy. When creating a work I investigate the possibilities between the organic and the digital, between the virtual and the physical. I explore classical themes such as man (with a focus on the anatomy and the emergence of cyborgs), plants (especially their genetic manipulation), masks and animals, always starting from an (art) historical background that I cut with contemporary pop and sci-fi culture. - Nick Ervinck

What an Art Consultant Does with Larissa Wild

There are so many arenas in which the visual arts can intersect with a community. It doesn’t always have to be about creating a finished looking object for the wall or a pedestal. Sometimes it’s about the journey, the way a united vision can bring people together to consider and solve big questions in the real world. It can be about connection, a way of processing thoughts and mapping out future dreams. In this interview, we are traveling to Lamu in Kenya, where Ajax Axe has set up Space Station #2 to invite local residents to collaborate in imagining and designing a framework for a shared vision of the future.

Her exploration of the horse’s form has expanded for over two decades, often working on very large-scale life-sized equine portraits. Her equine paintings have been featured in Dressage Today, Hanover Lifestyle Magazine, Inside Hanover, The Laurel Magazine, and many online periodicals. Her new large-scale narrative portraiture series demonstrates her mastery of the acrylic medium, her attention to detail, and her love for the intellectual challenge in creating narrative work.  She has been influenced by the expressionist works of William de Kooning, and Ben Shahn, and the equine work of Deborah Butterfield and others. I’m so excited to bring my interview with artist Marilyn Borglum with you today. In our conversation, you will learn:  How the best of us struggle, and how this can bring new ways of seeing The importance of understanding color as an artist, and as a viewer The journey of Monet as an artist, from the perspective of an artist How to see what artists have created more clearly  And much more!
