    When careful observation + a camera lens collide, you get Judy Krasinski.

    Judy's artistic journey began in a family of artistically talented people who chose conventional careers in healthcare and education. In love and faith her parents took a risk by supporting her decision to study arts at NYU. However, she still followed a more practical career path. She studied English literature and taught high school English, worked in HR, and then transitioned to raising two boys at home. In our interview you’ll hear Judy’s gratitude and appreciation for the years she spent full time with her sons at home. Looking back she knows how much she grew as a photographer because she captured the same subjects in the same locations ad infinitum. For the better part of 8 years she completed project 365 challenges (that’s right, a photo every single day!) Judy has this amazing way of capturing people in their city surroundings, preserving fleeting moments of everyday life. She finds hidden beauty in the mundane and believes that a good photo is like a tiny miracle. Tune in to hear why Judy describes her work in the same way that Diane Arbus says photography is like “tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing oreo cookies.” Street photography invokes awe and wonder for Judy. It’s a fulfilling process. It’s cultural anthropology. You’re not going to want to miss this episode! When careful observation and a camera lens collide, you get Judy Krasinski.

    When introspection + joie de vivre meet, you get Sali Swalla.

    If I could choose one phrase to describe Sali Swalla, it’s radiant kindness. I had the privilege of meeting her in her backyard studio in LA last year and she was just as warm and inviting as she is on social media. Sali is a self-taught artist and has been painting professionally for 13 years. She is deeply inspired by Eastern culture, especially by her time in Japan. Her mother was from Japan so she spent time visiting the country as a child. She paints with oil and cold wax and focuses mostly on creating ethereal floral landscapes (though she has other tricks up her sleeve!). If I could choose one word to describe Sali, it would be self-aware. Her work reflects themes of darkness and light which is deeply motivated by her personal experiences and emotions. After her mother passed away, for example, her color palette shifted from soft pastels to dark + moody blues, greens, and even black. It was a striking shift that I remember well, and I found myself drawn into her work even more during this period. Sali and I also chatted about the perennial topic of balancing work and motherhood, how she protects her time for both, why she thinks having inventory in your studio is a good thing, and how she believes art will eventually find its perfect owner. She is absolutely delightful and I can’t wait for you to hear this episode. When introspection and joie de vivre meet, you get Sali Swalla.
