State of Bliss/ James and Carrie Pearce

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists. Carrie Pearce https://www.carriepearce.com/ experienced every artist"s nightmare, a creative block. Fearing that her creativity was broken, she went back to school to teach and in the process, discovered her bliss. This metamorphosis propelled her forward into a new body of mixed media work.  James Pearce https://pearcepearce.com/ has been working with wood his entire life, inspired by the generations of woodworkers before him. James is fascinated with mechanisms and implements them into his aesthetic. He struggles with the two sides of his brain that argue between his work being functional versus sculptural. An interesting conversation with an amazing artist couple. Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists. Each episode is a deep dive into a conversation with a guest artist who shares their unique experiences as an independent professional artist. In today’s preamble, the hosts talk about commission shows, coming home with COVID, and another round of ankle surgery.
