Krystii Melaine: Western Realist Painter - Epi. 193, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
May 11, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBI had Krystii Melaine on the podcast today. She was born and raised in a very small town in southeastern Australia called Bairnsdale and followed her love of art up and down, trying to find her path. Eventually, she found her way into America and started painting Western art, which was a thing she didn't even know existed. Fast forward to today and she's one of the top artists in America painting wildlife and western figurative realism. She's done Native American subjects as well as cowboy...
Kim Wiggins (Part 2): Western Painter - Epi. 192, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
May 04, 2022 13:00 - 51 minutes - 71.1 MBI had Kim Wiggins on the show today and, wow... He's such an interesting guy. It's fun to be able to have such an erudite and wonderful artist that has such a unique story. He's from a ranching community in southeastern New Mexico (really close to where I grew up, actually). His father was a photojournalist, a very well-received photojournalist and he started his own paper. He had his own gallery and wrote books on Alfred Morang, Emil Bisttram, and William Lumpkins. Kim was around some of ...

Juraj Skalina: Master Framer - Epi. 190, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
April 20, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBJuraj Skalina was my guest on the podcast today. I've known Juraj for.. gosh.. 25, almost 30 years? I started using him as a framer in 1996 and I think it's so important (when we talk about the business of art and the world of art) that we don't forget it's not just artists and art dealers. It's also people that work to optimize art for display in homes, galleries, museums, etc. such as framers, a critical component of our business. The craftsmen and craftswomen that work in framing often ge...
Mike Fox (Part 2): Founding Director/CEO, Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West - Epi. 189, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
April 13, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBI had Mike Fox on the podcast today and we spoke for almost 3 hours. I knew that was going to be the case when I started because he's a very unique individual with a rich background in the arts. He's had a lot of different jobs throughout his life, and when I say jobs I mean they were all museum or nonprofits type jobs. Mike has done great work for the likes of the Heard Museum, Museum of Northern Arizona, the Muhammad Ali Museum (an institution that he helped start in Louisville, Kentucky)...

Jan Mapes: Western Painter & Sculptor - Epi. 187, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
March 30, 2022 13:00 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBJan Mapes dropped by the studio today to give us some paintings and a new bronze that she's recently produced. Luckily, I managed to wrangle her into the studio to do a podcast (which is not easy because she lives out in the middle of nowhere in eastern Colorado). Jan is a professional sculptor and painter and is very successful having shown in many museums and galleries, and is represented by my gallery here in Tucson. Her most recent museum show (at the time of recording) was the Briscoe...
Matt Ryder: Dubai Based Floral and Landscape Painter - Epi 186, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
March 23, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBOil painter Matt Ryder is my guest on the podcast today. He flew 23 hours from the U.A.E. to get to Tucson that's a commitment for your art. Matt reached out to me after hearing a podcast I had done with Eric Rhodes for his Plein Air Podcast, and now I represent him in my gallery, sometimes it can be that simple or hard if you are the one doing the flying. I love his work. He's gifted, as you can see when you look at his artwork, he's got the drive and that's what it often takes to succeed....
Jill Carver: Western Landscape Painter - Epi. 185, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
March 16, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBOne 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 cance...

Virtual Panel on the Intersection of Western and Native Art - Epi. 184, Moderated by Michael Clawson
March 09, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBToday's podcast is a little different. Instead of me doing the interviewing, I am actually going to be one of the people on a panel. The panel consists of myself and Davison Koenig, who is the director of the Couse-Sharp Historic Site in Taos, New Mexico. It's a great museum and I highly recommend going and visiting it. The moderator is Michael Clawson, who is one of the editors at the Western Art Collector, as well as Native American Art Magazine. It was a really fun and interesting discu...
Veryl Goodnight: Western Painter & Sculptor - Epi. 183, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
March 02, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 116 MBI'm always amazed when I do a podcast and somebody I've known for 25 years or longer like Veryl Goodnight manages to surprise me, and not just surprise me, but enchant me. Her enthusiasm for what she does and her love of animals is and has always been the driving force for her creativity, from childhood to now. So, artists out there who are wondering, you know, "How do I make a living or what can I do? Or How do I find my passion?" Just listen to this podcast and you're going to see passio...
Charles Fritz: Western Landscape Painter - Epi. 182, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
February 23, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 95.5 MBI had Charles Fritz on today. He's such an interesting person, not just as a painter, but also as a guy who really loves the outdoors. Charles not only likes to hunt and fish, but he's also an individual that really believes in conservation. He believes that you have to get out and do plein air paintings to be able to capture what you hope to capture in the studio and this shows in his paintings and the major projects he takes on. One major project began in 1998 when he was camping along th...
Sue Rother: Fine Artist & Illustrator - Epi. 181, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
February 16, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 89.2 MBI had painter Sue Rother on the podcast today. Sue is married to oil painter Francis Livingston, and, you know, they're a dynamic duo of artists. Both of them started in illustration almost 50 years ago and moved into fine art over the last 20 years. It was fun to talk to Sue about her trajectory and how she made her way through the illustration world, especially in the timeframe of the early and mid-seventies. During that time she had to compete for jobs in a primarily male-dominated indus...
Mark Hilbert: Founder of Hilbert Museum - Epi. 180 Host Dr. Mark Sublette
February 09, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 96.3 MBToday's guest was Mark Hilbert, and he has his own museum. That alone is a very unique and amazing thing. This is an individual who started his career in engineering and invented a module that made climate control devices more energy efficient. He was able to patent the technology and then ultimately sell the company, helping him establish a commercial real estate business in California. As you can tell, Mark is a very entrepreneurial individual. Lucky for Southern Californians, he's also a ...
Pat & Kim Messier: Native American Art Experts - Epi. 179, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
February 02, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBToday was a two-for-one. I had Pat and Kim Messier on and it was fun because I had them in-house in the studio and we sat side by side and really just had a discussion about their history and how native arts have affected their lives. Pat is a native Tucsonan who first started working with native arts in 1949. So she's been in the trade and has worked for 60 years with the early Tucson Indian art dealers and knows all the players and is undeniably an authority in the field. Pat's daughter...
Miriam Schulman: Artist, Entrepreneur, & Podcast Host - Epi. 178, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
January 26, 2022 13:00 - 54 minutes - 75.2 MBI had Miriam Shulman on today. Miriam is such an interesting human being and she had to overcome some serious adversity to get where she is today. Miriam got an art history degree, but because of the way things sometimes go in life, she ended up doing other things. You know, I was a physician who became an art dealer. Well, Miriam was a Wall Street banker and hedge fund associate, but she really needed to be an artist because that's what she was on the inside. Ultimately, she found her pa...
Michael Clawson: Executive Editor, International Artist Publishing, Western Art Collector - Epi. 177, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
January 19, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBI had Michael Clawson on the podcast today. I've known Michael for quite a while, he's the executive editor of "Western Art Collector" and "Native American Magazine" and the editor of "American Art Collector" and "American Fine Art Magazine". You don't hear the backstories of the publishing world or the art world unless you do the sort of deep-dive we did in this episode. I wanted to find out how he became executive editor versus becoming a film critic, which is really something he loved d...
Jay Dusard: Legendary Cowboy Photographer - Epi. 176, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
January 12, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 135 MBToday's guest on the podcast was Jay Dusard. He's one of the best known Western photographers of the 20th century (not to mention a Guggenheim scholar winner) who I've known for quite a long time. I've had the pleasure of seeing his work in numerous museum shows spanning several decades and I was really thrilled that he took the time and effort to come down and join us for an episode of Art Dealer Diaries. Jay's book "The North American Cowboy: A Portrait," released in 1983, showed the lif...
Josh Gibson: Contemporary Western Artist - Epi. 175, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
January 05, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBToday I had contemporary Western artist Josh Gibson on the podcast. I've known Josh since he was five years old and he's the youngest artist I represent at my gallery. He's almost 29 and was professionally trained at the California College of the Arts in the Bay Area. When Josh first cracked into the art scene, he was more of an illustrator/animator than a fine artist. He's done some very interesting projects already, including working with the Jimi Hendrix Estate. Ultimately, Josh is an A...
Mark Bowles: Contemporary Landscape Painter - Epi. 174, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
December 29, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBI had artist Mark Bowles on the podcast today via zoom. One interesting component of doing this podcast is that I never really know what I'm going to learn about my guests. That's one of the reasons I like doing them so much. You know, the discovery aspect of it all. In this episode, Mark and I went down some of the deeper, darker holes of life. Things like how the way a parent treats you can effect your life tremendously. In this case, we learn that Mark had a very tough father. Someti...
Dr. Jerry N. Smith: Chief Curator, Dayton Art Institute - Epi. 173, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
December 22, 2021 13:00 - 58 minutes - 81.1 MBIt's always fun when you get to talk to somebody that you haven't spent time with on an intimate level and he's the guest today, Dr. Jerry Smith. I've known Jerry for 25+ years and we've had lots of conversations over the years, just usually in a museum setting. Here is an individual who was literally moving boxes on the night shift for almost ten years in his twenties and when he turned 30 he said "I've got to do something else" and had this epiphany. We talk about that epiphany and how ...
Bill Rey: Owner of Claggett/Rey Fine Art Gallery (Part 2), Epi. 172 - Host Dr. Mark Sublette
December 15, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBI had gallery owner Bill Rey on the podcast today and we spoke for quite a while, so this will be a two-part interview. This is part two. Bill is a very interesting guy who I've known for over 20 years. He's been in the art gallery business for almost 40 years, having started when he was 18 working with a Squash Blossom Gallery in Aspen, Vail, and Denver. This is a fun interview - especially for those people who're really interested in the history of the art business, dealers, and artists...

Bill Anton: Western Oil Painter - Epi. 170, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
December 01, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 83.3 MBView Bill Anton's newest painting "Stirrup Deep" here: https://www.medicinemangallery.com/bill-anton-stirrup-deep-plv1341.html Now, I've done a long-format podcast with Bill, but you know, he brought this painting in that we just got for the gallery and it's such a fantastic painting. It's one of those really inspirational works that when you stare at it long enough it just grabs you and pulls you in and boy did this painting grab me. So I thought, you know, let's just go do a podcast and...
Joan & David Wenger: Art Dealer & Biochemist - Epi. 169, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
November 24, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBI had Joan and David Wenger on today, and it was really it was a great time. In the first part of the podcast, I really go into detail with David about dye analysis of Cochineal, Indigo dyes in serapes. There's some technical information in there as well, which is great to know and we talk about serapes, early Navajo textiles, and the meaning of dating. We also talk about his life as a biochemist and what all he's done and how he ended up in the Native American area. Then we pivot to his ...
Lyn A. Fox: Pueblo Pottery Dealer - Epi. 168, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
November 17, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBI had a really interesting podcast with Lyn Fox today, who owns Lyn A. Fox Fine Pottery in Santa Fe. I've known Lynne for probably since the day he started dealing in Pueblo pottery (his specialty) over 20 years ago. Lyn is a very kind human being who's really considerate in what he does as a dealer and how he looks about buying and selling art. I think there's a lot of commonalities in the way that we both do business and, quite frankly, how we see the world. Throughout this episode, I fo...
Glenn Dean: Western Oil Painter - Epi. 167, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
November 05, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBI had Glenn Dean on the podcast today. He came to my gallery in Tucson to film this podcast and the result was really great. You know, the zooms are great and they make being able to see and talk to people from a variety of fields much easier, but I must admit - sitting next to somebody and having a meaningful conversation is a whole different ball game, and we did just that. You see, Glenn is a pretty private guy, and recording a podcast is probably not a thing that he's most comfortable ...

October 20, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 98.7 MBI had Bruce Hartman on today, which was so much fun. He's a natural, gregarious, happy individual, and he's always been that way. I've known him for 20 plus years and any time I've ever seen him at a show (which is usually where I see him) he's always laughing and giggling and just having a great time. You see, Bruce absolutely loves art and is a very knowledgeable former art professional having just retired after 30 years as Executive Director and Chief Curator at the Nerman Museum of Cont...

September 29, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 86.9 MBI had Museum Director James Burns on today. James is an interesting guy because he's done so many things. He is a curator, a director, an individual who has always loved history and art. It's a fun ride because we get to see what it takes to get in that world, to be in the world of being an executive director for a museum. You can tell from his story that it's not easy. He's gone through many different ideations and iterations of who he is and what he is to finally get to the pinnacle of hi...
Andy Nettell: Antiquarian Bookseller - Epi. 163, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
September 15, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBI had Andy Nettle on the podcast today. He is the owner of Back of Beyond Books in Moab, Utah; I met Andy when I was in Moab the summer hiking the Canyonlands and Arches National Monument. Moab is amazing - both geographically and archeologically. There are so many unique early petroglyphs and pictographs from all time frames. Signs of human civilization ranging from 4000 years ago, Barrier Canyon people all the way up to Pueblo and Ute artwork only a century old. It's just a special area ...
Erin Hanson: Artist and Gallery Owner - Epi. 162, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
September 01, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBI had Erin Hanson on today. She's a very interesting person and I've always been a big fan of her work. In fact, I represent her work. I don't get a lot because she has her own galleries, but I do get some great things occasionally. She is a unique human being in many, many respects. She's not only extremely talented as an artist, but she has the same skill set when it comes to business and marketing. Some people might go, “well, you know, that's really not part of the art world,” but it's...
Mark Sublette: Maynard Dixon Expert, Gallerist, Writer, & Podcast Host - Epi. 161, Host Eric Rhoads
August 18, 2021 13:00 - 53 minutes - 73.1 MBToday's podcast is a special one because I'm actually the one who's being interviewed and I'm not going to lie, it's kind of different to be on the other side of the mic, so to speak. This is for Eric Rhoads' program Plein Air Podcast (which is a wonderful podcast by the way), having done over 200 interviews and it's a historically artist-centric podcast so for me to be on it was really quite an honor. Eric wanted to get a sense of what it was like from my end, handling artists, how a deale...

Art Dealer Diaries: Podcast Highlights (Part 1) Epi. 154 - Host Dr. Mark Sublette
June 30, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 90.4 MBAbout 10 years or so ago I decided I wanted to capture the voices of those in my profession. At the time I was thinking of the dealer community - mostly because, let's face it, we're getting older. I figured if I captured these voices somehow, their stories wouldn't be lost forever. When I eventually started the podcast, the project evolved into one that would document all of the various segments of Southwest art. Artists, critics, writers, editors, collectors, and more. So three years and ...
Ed Mell: Celebrated Arizona Artist (Part Two) - Epi. 153, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
June 16, 2021 13:00 - 55 minutes - 75.9 MBEd Mell came by the studio today and I was thrilled to be able to record a 2-part podcast with him. Honestly, I've been trying to get Ed on the podcast for three whole years. I've had so many people on Art Dealer Diaries talk about Ed Mell in their own podcasts... I think it's probably up to about a dozen people now. It's just one of those things, you know? It's hard to get together sometimes especially when a pandemic gets in the way. Out of all the podcasts I’ve done recently, Ed’s was a...

Kathryn Stedham: Santa Fe Oil Painter (Part Two) - Epi. 151, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
May 26, 2021 13:00 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MBThis is part two of a two-part podcast. I had a wonderful talk today with Santa Fe-based oil painter Kathryn Stedham. Kathryn is a very unique human being, to say the least. It's interesting when people are made to be artists, right? Not everyone finds their voice quickly, but it's clear that Kathryn found hers at a very early age. There were a few foundational aspects of her past that we talk about, from rock climbing and backpacking adventures to spontaneous solo sailing trips down the c...
