For our 48th episode, we shared time with the brilliant Emily Manwaring—an artist from and living in New York City whose tender, evocative, & multidimensional works on canvas have been shown at galleries and institutions such as Canada, New Image Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Venice Biennale. We first came into contact with Emily when we licensed one of her paintings to illustrate our 2023 book about nameplate jewelry and have remained drawn both to her prolific creativity and generous spirit. We spoke about what led her to start making images, the need to stay grounded and purposeful while navigating the fickle pressures of the art industry, and how the poetry of NYC life and heritage emerges in her work.
