I'm very excited to have Nellie Scott, Director of Corita Art Center in LA as my guest for this episode!
My very first introduction to Corita's art was in December 2019 when I was working on a project based on my series of influential women for a local charity auction. Corita's story, dedication to art and art education, and freedom of her spirit blew my mind! She spent most of her creative years as a Catholic religious sister of the order of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, CA. A woman artist (in the 1960s mind you!), an educator, an activist, and a leader - she embodied everything we praise today but unfortunately was almost forgotten by the art community in the last 3 decades. This is why Nellie Scott, an art historian, and Director of Corita Art Center is so passionate about saving Corita's legacy and introducing it to as many people out there as possible!
