In this episode Maggie is joined by this year's Beautiful Bizarre People's Choice Award finalist, oil painter Jennifer Allnutt of Queensland, Australia to talk about the nuances and intricacies of moving through grief as an artist. Jenny is the first of four artists in this series of episodes on grief to discuss their experience with grief and loss; the changes that resulted in her creative practice as a result of grief; the biggest hardships that emerged as she moved through loss; and the degree to which she is still impacted by grief years later. In this episode Jenny also considers the surprising ways she was able to reconnect with joy and purpose in the wake of her grief.

Episode 8: CATASTROPHE: Creating Art in the Wake of Tragedy
Épisode 8
samedi 11 février 2023 • Durée 22:37
In light of the major earthquake that rocked Turkey and Syria this week, Maggs dives into art inspired by natural disasters in this special bonus episode. We first examine eyewitness accounts from survivors of natural disasters, look at why depictions of natural disasters are of continued interest to the scientific community, examine three specific paintings portraying natural disasters for their relevance in art history, and give a couple examples of masterpieces created in the wake of disaster that you may not have been aware of. Maggs also considers what art means to an artist and to humanity, being that nothing is permanent in this world where we live in a constant state of near-apocalypse.

Maggs is joined by Shane Izykowski of Los Angeles, California to talk about the many sacrifices that creatives make for the sake of their art.

Shane also shares his hot take on a controversial opinion in the art world that creatives that work "day jobs" aren't as dedicated to their art practice as creatives who are full-time creators.

Maggs is joined by LauraAmy Patterson of LAMP Photography Studio from San Jose, California to talk about a massive documentary series she has undertaken which she refers to lovingly as her "Artists with Mental Illness Series." LauraAmy discusses what set this project in motion for her, the profound honor and responsibility that come with creating a safe space for voices from this marginalized group of "outsider" artists, how she's funding such a huge and costly project, and what she plans to do with these sacred stories once they've all been collected and catalogued. LauraAmy also shares what it's been like for her to view images for the first time from cameras sent to every corner of the United States for artists to capture their own images of what their mental illness feels like to them.
