Interview: Erin Shaw, Artist

Erin Shaw brings us a WORD in this episode. This episode will inspire you, it will refine you, it will relieve you and it will give you hope. This episode is a gift to us moms who work at the end of the year. Erin shares how she won't be talked out of her thing ever again and how our lives are always showing up to teach us. Listen in! Erin Shaw is a painter of borderlands, the spaces between worlds. As a visual storyteller, the child of an Oklahoma farm, Shaw tills the rich soil of dichotomy through her masterful uses of color, iconography, and story.    As a Chickasaw-Choctaw artist, she creates in a state of tension, suspended between two worlds where both solemnity and humor pervade her art. She finds that truths are revealed in unanticipated ways, and trickster often appears throughout her work.    The artist earned her BFA in studio art from Baylor University and her MFA from the University of Oklahoma. She has 25 years of educational experience, is an international speaker, and a featured artist in Visual Voices: Contemporary Chickasaw Art, among other exhibits in the U.S.
