S2: Episode 5 :|: Danielle Krysa
For episode five of season two, I had a joyfully insightful conversation with artist, curator, and author Danielle Krysa. Danielle is known for her many books and her 15 years curating, writing, and podcasting as The Jealous Curator. Her own creative practice involves collage, painting, sculpture, and ceramics…and of course HUMOR!
Dig into Danielle’s breadth of work from her 7 books, including two children’s books: How to Spot an Artist and Art and Joy: Best Friends Forever, to her TEDx Nashville Talk: How to cut creativity out of your life - to her witty, expressive art! This May she will have a solo show at Jen Tough Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico - check it out!
And if you dream of learning from her in-person and traveling to Venice, Italy - you’re in luck! There are still spots available in her workshop for July 15-26, 2024 which is hosted by the European Cultural Academy. A link to register is found in the show notes for this episode, on this podcast’s website: www.theartistinmeisdeadpodcast.com and on Danielle’s Instagram Accounts: @daniellekrysaart and @thejealouscurator
