Great art almost feels like magic—it opens our minds to brand new ideas, and teaches us to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Of course, behind all great art, there are artists. And that’s where the real magic happens… As we go beneath the art itself to explore how different artists do what they do, we see glimpses of the sorts of creativity, resilience, and bravery that lead to the art that moves our world. And maybe we can learn to borrow some of that magic for our very own thinking. Join professional musician Emily Merrell for conversations with artists of all kinds. Together, we examine the mysteries of our own experiences, our muses and fears, our gifts and foibles, our beliefs about the origins of creativity, and the secret magic we’ve discovered in our unique creative processes. Mediums include: studio art, graphic design, dance, cooking, illustration, creative writing, storytelling, comedy, music composition, music performance, film making, acting, production, fashion design, photography, and more.

    Ep. 238 : Cricket Jergens

    My work is fueled by the complex dissonance of a modern human experience—dominant over and separate from the natural world. A dance between grief and hope, my art evokes visual representations of ambiguous loss of natural entities and celebrations of persistent patterns, teachers, medicine and kin. Trees are my primary source of inspiration. My mediums range across fiber arts disciplines and include felting, weaving, paper and book making, and basketry. Process is essential to comprehension of my felted work as it represents a personal expression of ritual, and the fusing of individuals into collective; an echoing of earthly interconnectedness, mycelial networks and coalescence. Bent knees allow flat palms to meet earth, expressing acts of care, reverence and patience–a physical prayer of grief, gratitude, and remembrance. This ritual of wet felting and its physically demanding process help me to expel grief, loss, frustration and anger. In turn, because of the labor intensive process, I must give myself fully to the piece knowing I will sacrifice my body’s abilities in the days following. I view this dynamic as an exploration of “how much do we live in reciprocity with our earth?”. While traveling, basketry has been my most consistent medium choice as it allows me the flexibility of a gradual less demanding process.  My work aims to evoke an environmentally conscientious community through a declaration that we are a global community, equally responsible for the protection of Earth.  Materials sourced from nature engage environmental agents as collaborators, not merely subject matter. I have been traveling/volunteering fulltime since the summer of 2024. After the completion of my degree, I craved education from life beyond the realm of academia and the insular scope of American understanding. I have since been to 11 countries. This experience has helped me flourish in problem solving, communication, forgiveness, my understanding of international relations, the connectedness of our human experiences despite nationality or social position, that positive land relationships exist everywhere, and the importance of my relationship with myself, my artwork and my spirituality.

    Ep. 235: Olga Rybalko

    Olga Rybalko is a Ukrainian-Canadian painter based in Vancouver, BC, working primarily in oils. Her work focuses on landscapes and still life paintings, with an emphasis on observation, light, and quiet storytelling. Born in Sevastopol, Ukraine, and immigrating to Canada at the age of 13, Olga has spent much of her life moving between environments. That experience continues to influence how she approaches painting, paying close attention to atmosphere, subtle shifts in light, and the small details that give a place or scene its sense of presence. Olga often works directly from life, painting outdoors or from careful studio observation. Her process is intuitive but rooted in traditional techniques, allowing each painting to develop through looking, adjusting, and responding over time. While her practice began with landscape and cityscape painting, it has expanded to include more narrative-driven work, including still life paintings that hint at stories without spelling them out. Through her paintings, Olga aims to capture not just how a place looks, but how it feels to be there, and the moments that stay with you after you’ve left. Her work is held in private collections across Canada and internationally. Website: https://www.olgarybalko.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olgarybalkoart/

    Ep. 232: Casey Parlette

    Growing up in Southern California, Casey Parlette developed a deep connection to wildlife while exploring the region’s hills and ocean. Inspired by these experiences, he began sculpting at a young age. After earning a degree in anthropology from UCLA, Casey worked as a commercial diver and later as a career ocean lifeguard in Laguna Beach. His adventures include operating underwater cameras for the television series Inside Sportfishing, traveling to remote regions of the world, and spending eight months in the Peruvian Amazon, where he discovered a previously unknown fish species now classified as Rivulus parlettei. A naturalist at heart, Casey draws on his lived experiences to inspire his sculptures. Casey works with wood, metal, and stone to capture the movement and feel of the natural world. He selects materials whose inherent patterns and textures echo his subject. curly redwood may suggest the stripes of a tiger shark, while a manzanita burl can reveal the form of an octopus. Through blacksmithing and metal fabrication, he hammers life into sterile sheets and rods of metal while carved stone adds permanence and color. By combining these materials, Casey creates one-of-a-kind sculptures that reflect the beauty, complexity, and vitality of nature. website: www.caseyparlette.com Instagram: @caseyparlettesculpture Podcast: Creative Pursuits with Casey Parlette Email: casey@caseyparlette.com
