Henry sits down with artist Barbara Herzfeld to dive into her inspiring creative journey. Her fascination with painting bodies began with sumo wrestlers — a subject that became deeply personal. Barbara says she sometimes feels there’s “a little sumo” inside her, helping her fight life’s challenges. For five years, she painted sumo wrestlers as a way to honor and respect larger bodies, celebrating those who are often seen as different. She is also obsessed with vintage photography and wishes she could time travel. Tune in to hear where, when, and why she’d go if she could journey through time — and discover the stories behind her powerful art.

Olivia sits down with artist Mary Rieser Heintjes to explore the evolution of her creative journey and the distinctive fusion of materials that define her work. From a young age, Mary was drawn to art and has continually explored new forms of expression. Growing up near the steel mills of Pennsylvania inspired her fascination with industrial materials, eventually leading her to experiment with glasswork and welding—two mediums she now masterfully combines.

Emilee sits down with Helen Iranyi to explore her remarkable artistic journey. Helen reflects on her evolution across media—from photography to her powerful abstract acrylic paintings and collages, as well as her presence in the publishing world—always guided by a spirit of curiosity and reinvention.

Emilee sits down with Carter Burden Gallery artist Liz Curtin to explore her lifelong connection to art and her multi-medium practice. Curtin shares how she works with painting, collage, found objects, and handmade paper, always eager to experiment with new techniques. Currently in an art residency at the Leonard Covello Older Adult Center, Curtin is preparing for her solo show running from September 18 to November 20, 2025.

Henry sits down with Carter Burden Gallery artist Stephen Cimini @stephencimini to learn about his art journey. Stephen explains how his paintings evolve from architectural roots into what he calls “random symmetry,” where balance emerges without a clear pattern, creating meditative and emotionally resonant environments. Using oil paint mixed with cold wax, he builds textured layers guided by the golden mean.

Henry sits down with artist Bernice Sokol Kramer to talk about her work. Bernice creates fabric and papier-mâché sculptures inspired by the human figure, often displayed suspended or resting on the floor. Drawing from her background in biology and a childhood fascination with marionettes, she transforms the human form through a process she calls “genetic mischief,” blending human and animal characteristics in imaginative ways.

Emilee sits down with Vija Doks to talk about her art. Vija is a warm and imaginative artist whose love of drawing began in childhood, surrounded by piles of paper from her father’s mill and playful drawing contests with her cousins. Her work dances between the influence of old masters like Vermeer and the spirited charm of cartoon characters, blending history, humor, and personal reflection. Whether painting famous women or reimagining fairy tales, she brings heart, curiosity, and a unique perspective to every canvas.

Emilee sits down with Jennifer Simon @calmpods to share the inspiration behind her art, the diverse forms she explores, her creative collaborations, and her latest projects. Some even call her "an artist who can tie a bow tie on an ant."
