In this episode with visual artist, Audrey Stone, we discuss her meticulous approach to her paintings and the importance of beauty in art. We dialogue about the power of color and its influence on our emotional experience, along with her deeply personal relationship to her abstract work. We also talk about the power of something being “hand-made” and how in this accelerating digital age, the analog processes still hold an immense amount of value. ---------------------- Audrey Stone received her MFA from Hunter College and her BFA from Pratt Institute, both in painting.
