#84 – Katie Pumphrey – Can Swimming From the Bay to Baltimore Change How We See the City?

Season 9 Episode 84 Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description

In this episode, I interview ultra-marathon open water swimmer and visual artist Katie Pumphrey. Katie Pumphrey's work explores the connections between human instincts, play, and the influence of her swimming career on her abstract paintings, sculptures, and installations. As the first person to complete the 24-mile Bay to Baltimore Swim, Katie Pumphrey draws inspiration from the water, and we dive into how these two worlds intertwine. We also touch on Katie Pumphrey's creative journey, her experiences with the Chesapeake Bay Swim, and her continued contributions to the art and swimming communities. This episode with Katie Pumphrey is part of my media partnership with Baltimore Magazine.
