Bo Joe: Navajo/Uté Silversmith (Part 2) - Epi. 250, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I love the type of podcast where I get to go in-depth with the person I'm speaking to, so much so that I begin to feel a connection that's hard to describe. Well, I had that experience with Bo Joe. He's an amazing silversmith and an incredibly interesting person. I've known his father, sculptor and painter Orland Joe for many tears, but I hadn't really had the opportunity to talk to his son, especially not on this kind of level. Bo was a successful sound engineer for some big names in the music industry such as The Smashing Pumpkins, who he worked intimately with. We talk about that component of his life, working with these really famous people and he was really one of the best at what he did. That being said, it wasn't fulfilling for him.One day, Bo realized that it was stones, metal, and the forming of both elements into wearable art that was his true calling. Fast-forward to today and he's become an exceptional, respected silversmith. He has a major gallery that represents him and he's doing incredible things. You can feel Bo's inner struggle as he speaks on his journey from one art business to the next. Towards the end, he really kind of lets it go and you see his genuine love for the craft on full display. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Bo Joe Part 2 on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.
