Ep. 106: Carl Simmons

Welcome, Carl Simmons to In-Focus Podcast Number 106. Carl is a New Bedford, Massachusetts musician, visual artist, performance artist, and the South Coast's default local historian! Southcoast Today's Art Beat columnist said that Carl is, "... a local historian much concerned with preserving the past but in his artwork, he is clearly not beholden to it. His imagery, be they drawings, watercolors, digital photographs, or short digital animations, instead celebrate the mythology and folklore of the city of New Bedford and its surrounding communities. Carl talks with The Artist Index's host, Ron Fortier, and reveals more of his life and art. This episode was recorded with Zoom "post-pandemic" in 2021. Music courtesy of www.bensound.com
