Art Nomad
This is a podcast that takes a nomadic approach to exploring the layered world of art and creativity. Through these conversations, we gain a better understanding of the artist’s mindset and how creative people insert themselves into culture. I do this because, if you understand how an artist thinks, it changes how you see the world. How you create. How you look at everyday objects. How you approach your own work. Art Nomad doesn’t focus on portfolios or accolades (we have LinkedIn for that). Instead, it favors humanity, the creative mind, and the tools that help forge new path...
Art Nomad 0008: CALM with Kalle Hellzen
Our world is "always-on," and there's often too much going on. In the art world, you usually have to shout and dance your way to being seen. But some artists find calm while living inside that storm. They arrive on their own terms, with a kind of grace and tranquility that feels increasingly rare.
My guest, Kalle Hellzén, makes art that does exactly that. His paintings don't demand your attention or try to shout you in. They simply wait for you to discover them. And once you do, they take hold. The colors draw you in, a...
Art Nomad 0007: DEVOUT with Darryl Fossa
When DEVOUT is spoken, religious ears twitch. Our minds go straight to faith, extremism, hard lines, absolute conviction. But artists can be some of the most DEVOUT people in the world, and it often has nothing to do with religion at all. That same intensity, aimed at making, questioning, provoking, can become something entirely different. Something beautiful.
Some people spend their lives searching for something to believe in. Others simply find something worth giving their lives to. That's DEVOUT.
And that's my guest, Darryl Fossa. He's a Berlin-based artist with zero religion in his blood...
Art Nomad 0006: DARK with Reka Nyari
In this episode, we wander the world of DARK and explore what that means for art and artists alike. My guest this week is New York artist Reka Nyari.
From a very young age, she was drawn to the DARK and disturbing. If Reka is ever in a city with a torture museum, she’s visiting it (and it turns out there are quite a few of them).
Reka’s work captures stories of the skin—the good, the bad, and the DARK. She almost always photographs against a black background, draining the color from her su...
Art Nomad 0005: ALT with Jay Indigo
Welcome to Art Nomad, A podcast that wonders that world of Art, Creativity and culture. Here we dive into the minds of creatives in an effort to rock their roll and make strides as they stroll.
My guest this week is Jay Indigo. When I look at his body of work, I see a man that spends a lot of time in different worlds. He draws the aliens that were around before humans existed. His music and films take us into the psychedelic dream world. He is an astral traveler. (I had to look it up, but...
Art Nomad 0004: FACE with Erica Elias
Here we're wondering the world in search of art that helps us see things differently. Hunting for anything that might open our eyes to the underbelly of culture and creativity. In a way it's a journey that will never end.
This week's theme is FACES and I'll tell you right now, I could do 100 episodes on this topic...it's a thick and juicy theme with content that runneth over. I'm sure that as we continue this Nomadic journey, we will cross paths with FACES again because I've had to leave so many topics and stories in pixel...
Art Nomad 0003: RAW with Gary Copeland
My guest is Gary Copeland—writer, poet, photographer, and boxer. Gary embodies RAW: unfiltered, honest, emotionally direct. But what makes him invaluable is that he doesn't keep it to himself. In this episode, Gary shares raw advice on getting started creatively and why living authentically might be the most important creative practice of all.
Art Nomad 0002: PLAY with Elisabeth Condon
Welcome to Art Nomad, a podcast that wanders the world of art and creativity with those making it. Each conversation offers a window into the minds of today's artists and thinkers—sharing the stories, ideas, and decisions shaping contemporary culture, while opening up new ways to think about your own creative path.
This week's theme is PLAY, and my guest is artist Elisabeth Condon. She was smoking cigarettes before she could light a match, which might surprise you given her strict Christian Science upbringing. She also didn't speak a word until she was four years old, while mo...
STORM with Sage Gallon
In this STORMY episode we are talking to New York artist Sage Gallon—painter, poet, photographer, music producer, author, recording artist, and filmmaker. A man who wears many hats, and wears them all remarkably well.
To say Sage's life has been a storm would be an understatement. It's been more like a crushing tornado that has flung him from coast to coast, deep into darkness, through homelessness, addiction, and prostitution. Yet from that wreckage Sage emerged to be named one of the 40 Black artists to watch in 2014.
Sage and I walk through his journey—the chao...
Welcome To Art Nomad
Art Nomad explores how creative minds think and shape culture. Through conversations with artists, we uncover the ideas, obsessions, and contradictions that define how they create—and in doing so, we change how you see the world.
Each episode is built around a theme shaped by the guest's creative DNA. We don't just interview; we experiment in real time, bend the format, and create moments that couldn't happen anywhere else.
If you're looking for creative inspiration, new ways of thinking, or a deeper understanding of your own imagination, this is a podcast for you.
