I reached out to Esther Siegel recently about joining me on the podcast because she and her husband Spencer Brewer just released a book of Assemblage art, focusing on some of the phenomenal artists here in Northern California. Assemblage art is all about bringing together different parts to create a unified artistic whole. Imagine three dimensional collage or very adventurous mosaic making. And, in fine form, art followed life, and the podcast became a bit of a metaphoric assemblage of Esther’s life narrative, spinning her diverse interests into this one episode. From her love of horses, through her years as a psychotherapist, and into her studio where she combines multimedia forms to create her art, this podcast is an assemblage of Esther and how her life has been a living canvas of her unfolding journey on this planet. Even the opening song for today’s podcast is part of the assemblage of Esther! It’s an original piece by Spencer that he composed in homage to his wife that he calls “Estrella.”
