    The Art Box - Episode 268 - Bugyardigans - Macro Photography with Sydney Carnevale-Baker

    We enjoyed a delightful time chatting with Sydney Carnevale-Baker about her journey and love for the tiniest of creatures.  Sydney Carnevale-Baker is a Las Vegas-based photographer with a knack for finding the hidden gems of nature, even when those gems are mostly bugs and sand. Armed with a camera, an unrelenting sense of adventure, and possibly a GPS to find her way out of the desert, she loves getting outdoors to uncover the wonders that most people wouldn't even notice unless they were lost and had to wait for rescue. Her photography isn’t just about capturing pretty pictures, but it’s about reminding everyone that tiny creatures and fragile ecosystems deserve a moment of fame. Through her work, Sydney hopes to inspire people to appreciate the web of life that ties us all together, though she’s mostly hoping people will stop stepping on all the ants.

    The Art Box - Episode 266 - Being on the Shore is a Good Thing - Meet Carol Corbett

    Happy New Year. Let's start off 2025 with a Clouds in the Sand podcast we recorded in June of 2023. We have enlisted Addie to migrate selected Clouds episodes over to the Art Box this year and this her first production edit. This particular episode isn’t entirely about art—at least not in the traditional sense—but we firmly believe that art is everywhere creativity thrives. By that measure, our friend Carol Corbet is truly an artist. Her boundless creativity and zest for life shine through, making her story one worth hearing. Here we go. A few weekends ago Steve was ever so fortunate to meet Carol at a Bureau of Land Management event in Basin and Range National Monument. We spent the first day in a group together focused on identifying flora throughout the Monument, what a fun time. Both of us being of the talkative type we quickly decided that Carol should be on our podcast. The sweetheart she is, she grabbed her partner Sue and drove to Mesquite on her birthday to chat with Linda, Dana and I. We believe you will enjoy this episode. Thank you Dana Long for co-hosting this one with us.

    The Art Box - Episode 262 - An Adventurous and Giving Life - Meet Chris Gorzalski

    Chris stopped by the Mesquite Works STEAM Center recording studio on her way to an evening of dark sky gazing at Gold Butte National Monument. Both Chris and Steve are Volunteer Wilderness Stewards for the Bureau of Land Management in Washington County, Utah. But Chris's story doesn't end there—she is so much more. In her professional career, Chris worked as a Neonatal Nurse, devoting her life to the care of infants and their families. Now retired, she channels her energy into her passion for public lands, spending much of her time volunteering or embarking on extraordinary canyoneering and backpacking adventures with her son, Jeremy. Grab your headphones and get ready to join a lively conversation among friends, diving into tales of wilderness adventures, Toyota 4Runners, the possibilities of new hips, 514 climbs, carnivorous rocks, avoiding the call of the void, life as a nurse, and all the incredible experiences waiting in our surrounding public lands.

    The Art Box - Episode 265 - Not Invisible - Meet Rex

    In March 0f 2023, Linda and Steve launched a new podcast called Clouds in the Sand, shifting the focus from pure art to a broader exploration of the humanities. The first episode featured a conversation with our friend Rex, whom we met at the Mesquite Library Learning Center. Back then, this was where we recorded our episodes before moving into our current studio at the Mesquite Works STEAM Center. Rex, an avid and voracious reader, was often found sitting outside our door, immersed in one of the countless books he always seemed to have on hand. Over time, we formed a deep friendship with him, sharing many meaningful conversations about life, literature, art, and creativity, sometimes in the library, and other times over soup at Table of Contents. As we look ahead to 2025 and continue to grow The Art Box podcast, we have decided to retire Clouds in the Sand. However, we plan to preserve some of its episodes within The Art Box collection. We’re confident you’ll enjoy this heartfelt conversation with Rex and gain fresh insights into the richness of humanity. *Adult Content* Our 29 episodes of "Clouds in the Sand" will not disappear and can be found on Spotify or use this link: https://open.spotify.com/show/7oI5BDC0M14Zr1ytfbLC6R
