Join Tamara for an interview with Jazz Howington, a versatile painter, muralist, and illustrator who started her career in 2012 (SCAD Illustration Alumna 2011). She has a day job in UX Design and creates art part-time, out of her studio at Cedar House (go visit her on weekends, receptions, or by appointment!).
She'll have work in the upcoming Cedar House show “SPECTRUM,” June 6th - 27th, with a reception on Friday, June 6.
Her "Project Adoration" is a life-long endeavor to capture authentic queer relationships and the affection and adoration of those relationships, both romantic and platonic. The continued consideration of bold color, negative space, and degree of finish are constant themes in her works.
She is always looking for authentic relationships to capture, so if you and your partner(s) feel comfortable being photographed and then painted, sign up to model!

With Melissa on a break, original show host David Laughlin joins Tamara for an interview with Adrienne Berkland, a portrait and plein air painter who had work in a recent Atlanta show called "Rage Becomes Her." The conversation touches on making art as a response to the current political moment, gouache, SCAD sports, women's hair, working to music, painting live at events, and the use of hot pink.

What part of a human or pet portrait do you really have to get right, for the painting to be "successful?"
Who in the interview has to paint to background music, and who absolutely can't?
