Episode Details

What does it actually take to build a life as an artist? In this episode we sit down again with Coleman Charters, the Phoenix-based painter known for his vibrant western-inspired work, for a candid conversation about the realities of the creative life. We explore the question of when an artist feels entitled to claim that label, the myths and romanticized fictions that surround the artistic life, and the unglamorous but essential business of sustaining a creative career. We also get into the things that don't always make it into the polished version of the story: the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the complicated relationship with criticism that every serious artist has to find a way to live with.
