William Kidd taught high school ceramics for 30 years while simultaneously pursuing his career as a professional artist. Bill credits his stable income with allowing him to create the work he wanted to make without the pressure of having to sell. He describes how his nature-based work has evolved to the point that the inspiration for his new work emanates from his own finished pieces. Describing himself as a humble potter, Bill Kidd says he "no longer has anything to prove to himself," and limits the proximity of his show travels to his home state of Florida. A rock star in our community and a conversation you won't want to miss.

Whether you've been on the road for a month, like Will, or home for an extended period, like Douglas, we can all relate to feeling "stuck." In this week's conversation, we explore the advice from a hipster poet who says, "If you can't sit down and write, stand up and live!" Both cohosts share their experiences with resets and new beginnings, as well as the unexpected journeys that have infused inspiration into their process.

Since childhood, Lisa Kattenbraker has been on "A Mission for Magic" in her artwork and life. Her narrative batiks are expressions of her own experiences, often tinged with nostalgia as she explores her past, her ancestors, her role as a mother and grandmother, and literally sews stories together with ancestral threads. In this conversation, she shares the mystery behind the desire to create personal stories that also resonate with collectors. Often, the viewer brings their unique connection to the work, in which Lisa finds inspiration from meeting the collector whom the artwork was meant for.

When Christopher Jefferies caught the glassblowing bug in high school, he charted a course that would ultimately result in building his own glass shop by "paying his dues." From working on Dale Chihuly's team to sleeping on the floor of a Czech hot shop, Christopher immersed himself in the fast-paced environment of production glass studios that created hundreds of pieces daily. Once he launched his own studio, his work evolved into multiple-element wall installations on a large scale. Christopher talks about going after those "big fish" on the art festival scene and how he navigates his unique career.

Step into the mind of Matthew Naftzger! "Stubborn!" he says, "I don't want to work in a shitty job just to pay for an expensive house. I don't even want to make artwork I don't want to make." Living and working out of a box truck or buying abandoned houses to renovate are ways he feels free. In his pursuit of "choosing a life," Matthew describes how he has adapted his behavior to how his brain works. Discovering as an adult that he experiences ADHD brought into focus the "self-taught mechanisms" he's used to convert "circular thinking to linear thinking." Matthew is an artist who works in various mediums, such as metal sculpture, jewelry, and painting. This conversation shares his experiences with mental health while listening to the universe along the way. https://matthew.works/

Randy Thomae has embarked on a journey that has resulted in a radical realignment in their quest to be their best self. At first, Cammy Rahore was their alter ego, a persona and drag name they adopted as they traveled the country in pursuit of their art career. Once they embraced that being trans was indeed their superpower, Cammy's ultimate goals have shifted to include saving the lives of trans people through their artwork and as a role model by being their most authentic self. A powerful conversation that will inspire you to be a kind human and an ally to anyone struggling to be their best self. Follow their story on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cammyrahore/ and help spread the visual virus of love and understanding.
