Creating - Susan Melrath and Ferris Martinez - Ep 40

<p><a href="https://art2life.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://Art2Life.com</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- What does it mean to be an artist? Some say it’s one’s education or creative prowess. Others reserve that title for those who can make a living from their art. Yet, when we look at the nature of art and creativity, it feels so much bigger than the definition a single perspective can provide. Join us for a special conversation between Art2Life team members Susan Melrath and Ferris Martinez as they discuss Ferris’ art practice of both music and painting, how art movements throughout history have shaped our perception of creativity, and why artistry is more of a universal concept than we think.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">================================</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN…</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The multi-disciplinary art-making of Ferris Martinez, growing up with creativity, and the accessibility of music [4:02]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The evolution of Western art throughout history and how art enriches our lives [10:33] </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The influence of upbringing on art-making and the art in everything [21:32]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">NFTs, elitism, and the current direction of the art world [25:19] </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Navigating a music career during the pandemic and how limitation inspires creativity [33:06]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bringing narrative into painted portraits [42:51]</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">================================</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CONNECT WITH SUSAN MELRATH AND FERRIS MARTINEZ</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Susan Melrath’s website:</span> <a href="http://www.susanmelrath.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">http://www.susanmelrath.com/</span></a><span style="font-weigh
