In celebration of Women's History Month, this shared episode of Big Blend Radio’s "World of Art" Podcast features artist and art historian Victoria Chick who explores the vibrant art scene of Silver City, New Mexico, spotlighting the life and legacy of renowned artist Lois Duffy. A key figure in establishing Silver City as a nationally recognized art destination, Duffy’s career spans from studying at Pratt Institute to exhibiting across the country and creating large-scale, imaginative works that blend realism with surrealist humor. Known for her innovative “cube paintings,” Duffy transforms two-dimensional painting into dynamic, multi-dimensional experiences that engage viewers from every angle. The conversation also highlights the evolution of Silver City’s art community, local events and festivals, and the exciting development of the Southwest Regional Museum of Art & Art Center, a project designed to elevate the region’s cultural impact and support artists for generations to come. 🔗 Read Victoria’s article on Substack: https://bigblendarts.substack.com/p/spotlight-on-artist-lois-duffy  🌐 MORE TO EXPLORE - Lois Duffy: https://www.loisduffy.com/  - Southwest Regional Museum of Art & Art Center: https://www.southwest-art-museum.org/  - Visit Silver City: https://visitsilvercity.org/  - Artist Victoria Chick: https://victoriachick.com/  - World of Art Podcast: https://worldofart-victoriachick.podbean.com/  🎧 This episode also appears on Big Blend Radio’s "Toast to The Arts, "Big Daily Blend," and "Women Making History" podcast channels.
