Victor Mavedzenge introduces us to Jenna Countryman Mauro, Steven Yu, and Raul D’Mauries, whose work is featured in the 2020 East Bay Artists book. Without a doubt, we’re facing unprecedented and unpredictable times, where our world has been turned upside down. No one is immune to feelings of isolation and loss; how do we move forward when the simple act of human connection can be a struggle? Be prepared for some real talk as these three share how they’ve leaned on Art for support, and the deeper meaning behind a pretty picture.

Victor Mavedzenge introduces us to Kevin Wiseman, Sara Edge, and S. Newman, whose work is featured in the 2020 East Bay Artists book. The show kicks off with a short film of Kevin’s piece, ‘Of Natural History’; a drawing that took nearly 15 years to complete. It primes us for a contemplative and thought provoking conversation, with evolution and natural selection at its core. Tune in for a fresh perspective on the unlikely pairing of science and art, that will peak your curiosity and leave you truly inspired.

Victor Mavedzenge introduces us to Damon Powell and Michael Dugger, whose work ‘Standing Backbend’ and ‘Mobius Arch’, are featured in the 2020 East Bay Artist book. Their chosen mediums could not be more different – Damon is predominately a watercolorist and Michael is a photographer by trade. As the conversation takes off, they uncover a common ground which they share – they’re both searching for something greater than themselves. Tune in and hear two artists coming from opposite ends of the spectrum express their personal journeys of inner strength, spirituality and self discovery.
