Episode 74: Conversation with Visual Artist Rebecca Crowell

We are so happy to have artist Rebecca Crowell as a guest on our podcast. She is well known in the world of painting and contemporary abstraction. Her portfolio of paintings in oil and cold wax are a visual feast of atmospheric color, profound depth, and the sense that the works are living and breathing. Rebecca with co-author, Jerry McLaughlin, wrote the book : Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts, and Conversations. This book has become the "go-to" for artists around the world to delve deeper into the process of using cold wax as a medium for painting. In this podcast, you will hear more about the early college years and how Rebecca kept art alive in her life while raising a family, traveling the world painting and teaching, and maintaining a robust studio art practice. Lessons learned along the way are shared and the persistence to art certainly paved the way for her career to date. Here is a beautiful quote from Rebecca on her website, “ I paint in response to ancient and rugged places that I love, interpreting them intuitively, abstractly, through memory and emotion.” Rebecca's next exhibit, In Place: Recent Paintings, will open July 2, 2024 at Slate Gray Gallery in Telluride.
