Episode Notes:

Cai Xi was classically trained in the arts in urban China before coming to New York City in 1987, where she found a path into the abstract world, lead by the textures of an urban world not too dissimilar from her youth.

With her family growing, she and her husband, fellow artist, Adam Silver, moved to a small town in Vermont, where she became very involved in the local community, eventually teaching in a local private high school and working with the Asian Cultural Center of Vermont.

Her art continues to evolve, influenced by the beauty of her natural surroundings.

Food, a major part of any culture, is also incorporated into her practice, as she creates recipes, based on both her memories of her mother's kitchen and on the produce of local farms.

Join us as we talk about her path through art and life!
