Art(s) on the Air with Molly Cusick

Join Tamara for an interview with Molly Cusick, who works in the dual arts of photography and pottery, and shares a City Market studio with her mother (who also works in two art forms!). Traveling through the world's most beautiful places, Molly sees beauty where others are not looking. Faces of rocks, creek reflections, abandoned cars and barnacled boats offer a rich interplay of texture, color, and tone. Her eyes are drawn to the way that nature overtakes manmade objects.

She has a specific project called the Tree Pilgrimage:

"...born from the ashes of the Thomas fire, in January 2018, is a project honoring embodied connection and awakening.  

I followed a calling from deep within my heart to be with and photograph the amazing Trees around the world while I still had the chance."
