S3 E10: Empathetic Environments with artist Mary Mooney

In this episode, Kristin sits down with Nashville artist Mary Mooney. Mary is an abstract artist whose main medium is painting. She has also started a new business with her partner known as Empathetic Environments. With Empathetic Environments, Mary and her team go into different work spaces and teach the human side of business, nervous system regulation, and trauma informed spaces.  In this episode, she discusses the importance of empathy in her work and gives some details on an exciting new project she is working on where empathy is at its core. Aside from empathy, Kristin and Mary dig into misogyny and how a misogynistic society has shaped their lives/creative work. Mary Mooney holds an interdisciplinary BFA from Denison University, where she focused on large-format abstract painting and site-specific installation work. Time Out Magazine has called her work "epic" and Architecture Digest referred to her paintings as "ephemeral" and "museum-worthy." Her work is collected and exhibited internationally, and is included in various public and private collections, notably Elizabeth Suzann Studios, Cedar & Moss, and the private dining room of Sean Brock’s flagship restaurant, Audrey. She is currently designing/building sculptures using light and sound to subliminally regulate the nervous system through harmonic resonance. Mary lives and works in Nashville with her partner Nathan, where they recently launched an empathy-based consulting firm called Empathetic Environments. my contact info: website | marymooneyart.com email |  [email protected] socials | @marymooneyart links: website | empatheticenvironments.com socials | @empatheticenvironments Audrey | www.audreynashville.com, @audreynashville
