Hello, dear listener! September brings the shift of Autumn, so to celebrate this change of season with a beautiful conversation with a fantastic artist and teacher. Krisztina is our artist this month, and in this conversation, we talk about her process, how she paints as a way of sharing her life and experiences, her transition into motherhood, and the journey that has led her here. Here is some more about our artist:



Krisztina Lazar is a painter of imaginary realism. Her current body of work “Motherhood

is Metal” explores the alchemically transformative elements of having a child, from the negredo

of total dissolution, the albedo of Madonna-esque bliss to the rubedo of integration and

wholeness. Using both a Mische of oil and egg tempera and direct Alla Prima techniques to

render hyperealistic sacred art, Krisztina creates figurative and portrait paintings that exist in the

vesica piscis of fantasy and visionary painting.

Krisztina completed her BFA at Carnegie Mellon University in 2004 and her MFA

graduate degree in 2011 at the San Francisco Art Institute New Genres department. Her

paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows throughout the United States and Europe,

most notably at the H.R. Geiger museum in Gruyere, Switzerland. She teaches her unique styles

of painting to many students in group and private settings. Her work has been featured in

multiple articles, galleries and book publications. She currently lives and works in Northern

California.

Welcome to this bonus episode of the podcast for August. Today, I have the honor of sharing a beautiful conversation with a talented artist named Jade. Her work is truly transformative and filled with magic. Here is some more info about our dear artist!



Bio:Jade Wolfe is an artist, art therapy student, and Reiki practitioner from Saskatchewan, Canada. Her work is a testament to the deep interplay between psychology, spirituality, and a profound relationship with the land. Born with an innate curiosity about the human experience, Jade pursued a degree in psychology, delving into the intricate workings of the human psyche. This academic journey planted the seeds of inspiration that would later bloom in her artistic endeavours. The exploration of personal grief, existential questions, self-discovery and spirituality became recurring themes that would inspire her intuitive, visionary work, as well as vibrant landscape paintings.As an art therapy intern, Jade has had the privilege of working closely with residents in long-term care facilities. This experience has not only deepened her understanding of the therapeutic power of art, but has also honed her focus on spirituality, grief, and the significance of our relationship with the natural world. Through art, she has witnessed the transformative potential of creativity in the healing process, guiding individuals towards self-discovery and self-expression.In addition to their work as an art therapist, Jade is a Reiki practitioner, further emphasizing her commitment to holistic healing. The integration of Reiki principles into her artistic practice imbues their work with an added layer of intention and energy, creating pieces that resonate on a spiritual level.Jade's paintings are an invitation to embark on a contemplative journey. Her pieces navigate the intricate tapestry of human emotions, offering solace to the grieving heart and encouraging viewers to reconnect with their creative and spiritual essence.

Hello friend! So excited to share another amazing conversation with you. This time I had the pleasure of interviewing Charlotte Tara. Here is a little more about our artist!

About MeI am an intuitive artist working in several creative media: I am a writer, currently writing in the fantasy genre; I am a visual artist with a focus on drawing and painting from my imagination and intuition; and I am a dancer.The source of all of my creative work is the same. This source flows from the center of who I am, and is multifaceted. These facets are: Reverence and Wonder, Intuition, Imagination, and Trust and Non-Attachment. My artistic visions and practices are uniquely mine: a fusion of my own innate gifts and the loving presence and guidance of countless other beings, only a few of which have formally been my teachers.I live in Roanoke, Virginia with my wife, our twin children, and 11 other animals: one dog, three cats, and seven chickens. I grow tall sunflowers.Links:My Website is a wonderful place to get an overview of who I am and my work, and you can purchase prints from my shop.Rumoring & Shalemarch This link leads to my World Anvil page for my in-development tabletop roleplaying setting and content. And I am on Instagram: @bodhiterra, where I occasionally write about creativity, spirituality, and being a transgender woman.

This month features a artist named Court (They/He) here is some more about our artist: Hiya! My name is Court Zeitler (they/he), and I am a 25-year-old multi-media artist from Carroll County, MD. My full-time job is running my art business, Cosmic Court Arts. My dream is to provide healing, growth, and connection in my communities through my artwork. I sell my own prepared work, as well as provide many custom-made pieces tailored to specific requests of my clients. The mediums I work most in are acrylic paintings, ink, printmaking, and digital. I also dabble in colored pencil, watercolor, and sculptural works of many types. I travel the East Coast to attend many festivals where I sell and create artwork.

Happy 3 years to the Subnormal Podcast! To celebrate 3 years of creative magic, I have for you a fantastic interview with artist, energy worker, and teacher, Nancy Martin. Here is a little more about our artist:"Nancy Martin is a Chicana mixed media artist, she creates out of her home studio in Menifee, CA. Her passion is sharing the process of creating art primarily with women, mothers and children. She believes creativity teaches sovereignty, connects us to our authentic selves, offers mental and emotional healing while building self confidence, neural connections, mindfulness and leads to fun fulfilling individual growth. 



As a first generation Mexican American, Nancy was born and raised in the Inland Empire. She is primarily a self taught artist, yet she has a degree in Interior Design from FIDM, Los Angeles. A mother herself, Nancy understands the demands that modern aged mothers and women are up against and she has learned to use her art as a form of support for her mental and emotional health. In her motherhood journey with her 9 year old son, she has come to understand the beautiful connections that happen when mothers and children create together. She believes that bringing art into a community elevates the livelihood of its citizens and she strives to support her community with art. 



As an artist Nancy is currently showing her latest collection “The Root”. Which is a narrative art series that is about connecting with your creative intuition and allowing spiritual and mental connections too to guide her through the creative process. This guidance allows her to connect to her authentic self to in turn share her story. Nancy also uses art as a way to release negative conditioning, allow her mind to process trauma and pain and alchemize them into art.



Nancy offers a variety of freelance art and energy services such as Logo & Graphic Design, Digital Illustration, Art Event Wellness Facilitation, Live Paintings, Wall Muraling, Energetic Clearings and Kids virtual Art classes."
