Welcome back to the second season of Private View! Today I want to talk about negativity and how that can affect our ability to be creative and enjoy the work we make, both during the creative process and the final product.
Negativity is something that everyone has to deal with. It seems like people generally focus on the negative parts of life or their bad experiences instead of the positive things. Unfortunately...2019-11-1212 min

Private View Podcast by artist Mauren Brodbeck, on getting real about being a woman in the artsPrivate View Podcast | ConfinementWomen artists are affected by societal and cultural expectations that restrict our ability to make meaningful art. It’s important to share our experiences.
I define “confinement” as the idea that women artists are still very controlled and repressed by the boundaries and expectations that our cultures and countries impose, and it’s a subject I like to talk about a lot. The effects of confinement on our emotions and energy—and consequently the art that we can or are allowed to create—can be brutal. In some countries and cultures it’s very obvious when a woman is being...2019-06-0613 min

Private View Podcast by artist Mauren Brodbeck, on getting real about being a woman in the artsPrivate View Podcast | Creative ProcessDeveloping and following a creative process is important to the work we do as artists. The process I follow gives structure and support to the work I create.
Summary:
Being an artist and making art is rarely about creating something simply for the sake of creating. We usually have a message or experience we want to convey through our work. Using a good creative process can help and enhance our efforts.
In my creative work, I’m trying to breach the barrier between two different worlds: the physical world that we “know” and experien...2019-05-2409 min

Private View Podcast by artist Mauren Brodbeck, on getting real about being a woman in the artsPrivate View Podcast | On ResistanceResistance isn’t the negative thing we think it is. Here’s how confronting the internal and external resistance you face can be a positive, empowering process.
Every artist is familiar with “resistance” and how it shows up in all sorts of ways, making our dreams and goals seemly impossible to reach. I recently realized that there are two major kinds of resistance: inner resistance, which often shows up as fear, doubt, and confusion – and outer resistance, which can show up as people being upset with you, or as obstacles between you and what you want.

Raw and Radical Women in the Arts Podcast | Conversations with extraordinary women in the artsAngela Fraleigh | Raw and Radical Women in the Arts PodcastToday the Raw and Radical “On Display” podcast welcomes Angela Fraleigh, an oil painter and installation artist, to discuss the role of feminism and power dynamics in her work, her thoughts on manifesting our own realities, and her interest in uncovering hidden feminist-focused histories. Angela’s work was described by one museum curator as creating “utopic provocations of … counter or oppositional narratives that allow us to imagine different pasts and different futures.” One way she creates these narratives is with large scale paintings that immerse the viewer in her “feminine utopian” vision.
“We’re forced to see intric...2019-03-1838 min

Private View Podcast by artist Mauren Brodbeck, on getting real about being a woman in the artsPrivate View Podcast | Fitting InThis is a big-time important and interesting theme for me. I have been investigating for a long time about this subject because I feel often a pull and a push on the idea of fitting in the society we live in. What I realized is that feeling this way is not very empowering and therefore to position myself in a stronger position where I am not depending on what is going on around me, I need to take a stand and act on it. Therefore, I am raising the questions of changing the society and our role as cultural...2019-03-0609 min
