About this podcast
Meet the women behind the art. AART brings you intimate, unscripted conversations with women artists from around the world, exploring the lives, experiences and influences that shape their work.
Host Chris Stafford goes beyond the professional biography to get to know the person: childhood discoveries, unexpected turns, setbacks, ambitions and the moments that changed everything. With warmth, curiosity and a journalist’s instinct, Chris creates space for candid stories about building a creative life. From painters, sculptors and photographers to filmmakers, actors, writers, camera operators and artists working across disciplines, each guest offers a different perspective on making art and finding her voice.
Whether you’re an artist yourself or simply curious about the people who create, there’s a life here to discover—and a story that may stay with you.
Follow AART for thoughtful conversations about art, life and being yourself.
New episode released every other Tuesday at 5:30AM Eastern USA.
