Paula Wilson On Pep Talks for Artists

Pep Talks for Artists: Interview w/ Paula Wilson, Oct 20, 2022, Hosted by Amy Talluto

Listen to the Podcast

 

 

As a super fan, I was thrilled to welcome multi-media artist, Paula Wilson to the podcast this week. Paula joined me to talk about her current show, “Imago,” at Denny Dimin Gallery in NYC (up right now through Oct 29, 2022) and also allowed me to pepper her with questions about her work in general. Paula works in expansive ways with collage, large-scale woodcut, video, and painting and lives and works in the remote high desert town of Carrizozo, NM. She uses personal symbols and experimentation to create a unique blend of art and life–all tied to the land.
