About this listen

 This is the Art Musings podcast. With love from Oxford. Join hosts: Oxford-based artists Sally Anne Stewart and Carole Theriault as they kick off their art careers.

On Art Musings, we'll chat with local artists (some up and coming and some at the top of their game), learn about their process, their art, and delve deep into all the creative, emotional and business challenges that they’ve had to face.

Basically, the juicy bits, the dark underbelly of being an artist. And we very much hope you'll come along for the ride.

    David's bio: David is a sculptor in stone. His work is in private collections locally, across the UK and in Europe and the US. He exhibits twice a year through Oxfordshire Artweeks (and is a member of the organisation's board) and through various other exhibitions. In the Summer and Autumn he runs Sculpture-in-a-Day courses based in the grounds of Cokethorpe School in Witney or 'on tour' at clients' own homes. Recently David started turning wood, which has the great advantage of being done in the relative warmth of his garage rather than at his outdoor studio at Cokethorpe. David was previously a teacher, mostly of chemistry and photography to A Level.
    David's work, for home or for garden, is influenced by the shapes, patterns and movement of the natural world. His favourite stone is Ancaster hard white or weatherbed limestone but he also uses slate, Bath stone, Cotswold stone, Yorkshire gritstone, granite, soapstones, serpentine and more. He sometimes uses gold leaf in his pieces. See Carole work: https://www.carole.wtf.

  • S2 Ep3: Art as Healing with artist Kay Gibbons

    S2 Ep3: Art as Healing with artist Kay Gibbons
    Feb 26 2024
    In this epsiode of Art Musings, Carole and Sally chat with multidisciplinary artists Kay Gibbons. The focus is art as healing. Can art actually shine a light when we are down and out?

    About Kay Gibbons:
    Kay is a multidisciplinary artist living and working from her studios in South Oxfordshire, UK. She paints, draws sculpts and creates stained glass panels and windows to commission for peoples homes, places of work, public buildings, hospitals - wherever. Kay also runs workshops for local charities and from her studios.
    Kay writes:
    "Many opportunities have arisen because people say 'ask Kay, Kay does art...' In this way I unintentionally became a glass artist. Life was such that I had metaphorically fallen through a broken window surrounded by darkness and shards of glass. Through being invited to make a stained glass window for the hospital ward, with trepidation and courage I was able to design and make the hospital window and in doing so mend ' my broken pains / panes, creating a new and beautiful window of my own life."
