In this episode, Maureen, Gemma and Claudia sat down, each in their own living room across several miles on both sides of the Atlantic, to have a lovely conversation with visual artist Aideen Barry. Aideen Barry is a world renowned artist living and working in Cork, Ireland. In 2020 she was elected to the RHA- Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts, a collective of contemporary artists and architects dedicated to the advancement of arts and culture in Ireland. She is also a member of Aosdána, a collective that honors artists whose work has made an outstanding contribution to the creative arts in Ireland. Aideen lectures regularly in several universities and schools of visual art in Ireland, the US and Europe. Claudia and Aideen met in 2013, when Aideen was one of the thirty artists in residence at the artists’ retreat Claudia directs in the summer upstate New York. In this episode, together they cherish memories, laugh together, and the four of us touch upon the complex, multilayered issues and the profound intricacies of being a mother and a professional in today’s society. We hope you will enjoy listening to these conversations, and dive into the musicality of the various accents you will hear, while we celebrate women’s accomplishments, and life, together.
