Women in the Arts: A Live Panel Discussion

from Creative Guts · host Becky Barsi

In this special live episode of Creative Guts, recorded in partnership with the New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA), we gather a panel of extraordinary women artists to talk about making meaningful work and navigating the realities of being women in the arts.  Joining the discussion are Cat Graffam, a painter, game developer, and content creator whose work bridges traditional and digital worlds; Maria Oakley, a painter, sculptor, and ceramicist; and Lori Moretti, a figurative painter. We are chatting while surrounded by work inspired by the memory of Sue Werner Thoresen, whose exhibition at the NHAA deepens the conversation about identity, memory, and artistic expression.
