Introducing Your Host

This week I turn the tables on myself and let you learn about how I became a professional artist, and how Words With Artists came to be produced after I attended the On-Ramp Artist Entrepreneur Accelerator course sponsored by the Indiana Arts Commission, Minerva Financial Arts, and the Small Business Administration. That course resulted in my applying for and receiving a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission, and Minerva Financial Arts , providing the initial funding for my podcast.

So join me for this shorter episode and learn a bit about my life and my view on art in the world around us. And, until next Monday, I’ll be entertaining the ghosts of our past, sipping tea, and sharing words with artists.

Where to find me

Welcome!

Hello all! Join me every week as I entertain the ghosts of our pasts while sipping a bit of tea and having words with artists! As each episode is recorded in a historically relevant location to the artist being interviewed, we’ll delve into how the art found the artist, their learning process as well as biggest mistakes, and their current projects. Add in our Bowman Minute, and we’ll be writing creative fiction in a fast, flashy, freestyle method that we’ll share with you, our listener. (We’d love for you to share your Bowman minute at our website!) Plus, look out for live recordings in your area, and uncut interview videos on our YouTube channel.

Based on a Podcast, Words With Artists began as a fellowship project with the Indiana Arts Commission after I attended the On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator in 2021. After some unexpected delays, this baby is finally coming to life and I can’t be more excited! Look here for Podcast, YouTube, and website links taking you to some of Indiana’s most beautiful historic places while meeting an amazing variety of artists from painters, to woodworkers, to chefs, and so much more!

Special thanks go out to Minerva Financial Arts and the Indiana Arts Commission for helping to make this a dream come true!
