Jill Carver: Western Landscape Painter - Epi. 185, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

One of the reasons I do podcasts is not only to understand the guests I have on,  or the art world for that matter but also to gain insight into my own creativity and who I am. Jill Carver really brought that home for me today because she was willing to share her incredibly personal  journey leading up to her 2022 exhibition "The Wild Southwest, Forces and Form"

She had to go through some major uncertainty, and quite frankly, some really scary stuff. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer during the time she was painting for this show and had to deal with all the medical implications and mental anguish that goes with something like that.  Through all of this, she found a way to cope with the circumstances and managed to produce what I believe to be her best work to date. 

When you listen to this podcast, you'll be immersed in that component of going through a traumatic diagnosis. Toward the middle portion of the podcast, Jill gives valuable insight into her and many other women's battles and how she came out on top. 

That's exactly the kind of thing that I hope to provide my listeners and viewers. An honest look behind the canvas, so to speak. So enjoy, this is Jill Carver on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast Episode 185.
