Join us as we speak next with a modern world muse who is set out to redefine the image of what a muse should be, Mie Iwatsuki! Immigrating from Japan, Mie knew early on that she had a deep love for the visual arts, especially that of painting. Despite her family's wishes, she immigrated to the USA to follow her dreams. The last thing Mie expected was to come face to face with the deep political and social politics that rattles the nation (especially during a time not too far from the major civil rights movements era). Through it all, she found deeper beauty in all things and went on to shape a prosperous modeling and painting career collaborating with artistic legends such as Robert Frank and Alex Katz. Dive into this podcast with us as we unveil Mie's powerful story.
