It's All Connected With Jen Stark

In this episode I have an amazing conversation with visual artist Jen Stark.  We talk about her origins in art making and how the natural world always fascinated her from the time she was child.  We discussed what sparked her distinctive style back in the early 2000s when she was studying abroad in France,  and how that practiced evolved to all the powerful and innovative work she is making today.  Together we dive into the power of the psychedelic experience and the potential that art has to promote healing and altered states of awareness.  Jen shares about her interest in sound and installation art along with her interest in meditative practice.  We discuss what’s inspiring her in the studio today and where she thinks her art is headed. -------------------------- Visual artist Jen Stark transforms complex ideas about fractals, evolution, color theory, topography, sacred geometries, and patterns of the universe into approachable and engaging works of art. Drawing upon an ever expanding use of material and technology, Stark allows her aesthetic to transcend all forms of media, ranging from paintings and sculptures, animations and installations, to interactive projections and NFTs. Over the course of her career, Stark's work has been exhibited globally, with major shows and public art installations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Thailand, and Canada. Her work is currently held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the West Collection, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, NSU Art Museum, and MOCA, among others.
