Honesty in Art: Let's Get Personal
Honesty is the foundation of good art, but is there such a thing as being too honest? Spurred on by a beautifully forthright statement that Teresa recently made on Instagram, this episode’s conversation explores where the line is between artistic confessionalism and trauma dumping. As the episode moves along, there’s a segment on “The Last Thing That Inspired Me” that brings out favorites in television and music, which naturally leads into. . .the Bermuda Triangle, Ouija Boards and quicksand, and finishes with a shout out to a special artist that, one might say, gave birth to Artsy Types. ~Show Links and Notes~Let It Happen by Tame ImpalaDavid Sedaris' Tips for Writing About People You KnowThe Conversation by Teresa Kiplingerhttps://silverpoet.com/blogs/gallery/the-conversationThe Surprisingly Simple Trick to Escape Quicksand This is a public episode.

Trends We Love, Trends We Hate
The resurgence of plein air painting, over-the-top maximalism, visibility of the artist’s hand laid bare in finished work, the way museums treat sensitive subjects--Joy and Teresa look at cultural and artistic trends, extending the topic all the way into the Gen X segment and debating whether any 80s trends should return. “The Last Thing I Wrote” segment comes back, bringing with it roadkill and an eerie take on the neighborhood reaction to the HOA. The episode ends with a look at the creator and ArtsyTypes Instagram follower, Arthur Hash, who uses 3-D modeling in his jewelry practice with wonderful results. ~Show Notes and References~Plein Air Painting Flourishes in the AdirondacksSchiaparelli's The Agony and the Ecstasy CollectionThe New Surrealism: On AI and HallucinationsThe History of AtariJeweler Arthur Hash This is a public episode.

Three Good Habits Every Artist Can Develop (and a Bad Habit to Avoid)

Creative Alchemy: The Elements That Transform Us Into Artists
An accident, a coincidence, a life event. Conversations between mothers and daughters. Sheer boredom. Teresa and Joy are putting words to the alchemy that took place in their lives to transform daily routine into lifelong pursuits of creativity. Before taking on the task of unraveling creative alchemy, they do some quick warm up calisthenics trying to spit out words that start with GN, and they bookend the discussion with a rabbit hole into Mary Shelley’s favorite keepsake and a recommendation of Patti Smith’s new book, Bread of Angels. Teresa tests Joy’s memory of the various ways they paid for school lunches through the years, from tokens to college coupon books, and they end by highlighting an artist, jeweler and educator from the Artsy Types community on Instagram. ~Show Notes and Links~Mary Shelley's Favorite KeepsakeLove and Tragedy: The Stirring Saga of Mary Shelley and Percy ShelleyQueen Anne of Brittany's Heart Reliquary Patti Smith's New Memoir, Bread of Angels This is a public episode.
