Continuing to meander with the theme of creativity, we're revisiting our episode with Siobhan Arnott. Her eclectic and rich background is brought to bear in her art, and in this next stage of life, she is more alive than ever! Siobhan is currently in Italy, taking art classes in Rome! This episode was originally dropped on Feb. 22, 2022. Enjoy!
Siobhan mentioned two mentors: visual artist Michael Goodson and Ottawa School of Art printmaking teacher Robert Hinchley (visual artist), as well as a few of the artists who have inspired her approaches to art making: Robert Rauschenberg, Jean Michel Basquiat, Jane Ash Poitras (art: National Gallery of Canada, interview), and Delita Martin.
