Carol Alleman: Contemporary Sculptor - Epi. 203, Host Dr. Marks Sublette

Every one of these podcasts I do is unique. I never know exactly what kind of flavor person I'm going pull from the box. In this particular case, I  got chocolate (which is my favorite). You see, I've represented Carol Alleman for more than 15 years and I knew some of her background, but I didn't know the entire story. Not even close.

Carol is somebody who struggled to become an artist.  As a kid, she had to approach art and creativity through her life experiences, ultimately having an extended family member give her a push in the right direction. After her initial exposure to art and the years that followed, Carol found herself on the winding road of life eventually getting a degree in art education.

She had to bypass hurdle after hurdle, eventually becoming a professional artist in her early forties. A professional artist that was represented by nine of the best galleries in the country, no less.

And, you know, her art is amazing and I encourage people to go look at it on our website. You can see her sculptural identity in full force and the attention to detail she puts into all of her pieces. Carol is unique in her approach and each one has a story, a poem that expresses Carol's feelings on any particular piece. In fact, Carol stated a piece of hers is not complete until the story or poem is complete as well.

A very unique individual and a wonderful podcast. Art Dealer Diaries episode 203 with Carol Alleman.
