Painting to Drawing & Back Again

I hope you enjoy the second part of my conversation with artist Rachel Wolfson Smith. We talk about the two halves of her studio, where writing and the figure show up in her work, and how for her, it all comes down to relationships.

“What I really cared about at its essence was the composition and just seeing all of these things in relation to each other.”

Rachel shows us her sketchbook of collage, her loose gouache paintings, and what’s feeling the most unknown to her currently.

Starting the Interstudio interview series has been a real joy this year. Swapping studio visits is one of the ways artists get to know each other, get ideas and feel less alone. I thought sharing that with others could be nice, and it is!

While I’m not a filmmaker or editor, I am enjoying the process. But it turns out the software costs money, plus it takes oodles of time. If you’d like to support this new venture, you can do so by becoming a paid subscriber to my Substack. I’ve added a new lower-cost category that will help fund these interviews.

Thanks y’all!
