101: ENCORE: Roxanne Coble, The Worn Out Dancing Shoes & thoughts on creativity and body

In this encore episode I'm sharing a conversation with Roxanne Coble, a mixed media artist, illustrator, and maker of things in Los Angeles. She's known for her detailed art journaling which fuses mixed media and painted illustration. Inspired by all things macabre, completed pages embrace a balance of humor and dark emotional themes – all while exploring topical events that occur within her personal life. Her work has been featured on the cover of Art Journal Magazine and more recently as a guest artist on the PBS show Make It Artsy. I wanted to chat with Roxanne because her art is so alive with imagery and symbolism. I had a feeling she'd be bubbling over with thoughts and ideas, and I was right. We discussed the creepiness of fairy tales, girl gangs, visual symbolism and hands. Especially hands. If you're a creative curious person I know you'll enjoy this conversation.
