Lisa Danielle: Western Still Life Artist (Part 1) - Epi. 221, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Art Dealer Diaries Podcast

Today was fun. I had Lisa Danielle on and we've been trying to arrange a podcast for about three years. One day and she's down here in Tucson and she came in and we just had a great talk.
I've represented Lisa for almost 20 years or maybe even a little bit longer... but we've never had an in-depth conversation about her backstory. You see, that's one of the beautiful things about this podcast, is that through interviewing these individuals, I get a deeper sense of who the person is and why they do what they do. All too often there's this storyline that isn't all peaches and cream.
It's incredibly difficult to get to the point of being able to make a living as an artist. Lisa even speaks about times where she couldn't get things sold and she's having to work at a nursing home. At the end of the day that's what you do if you really want to be an artist. You absolutely must be willing to put yourself in those positions to allow you to continue to create art.
Lisa Danielle is one of those people that did it. So, it's a fascinating interview. In fact, it went for over 2 hours and it was like a time warp because I didn't even realize it had gone that long, which is always wonderful. So this will be a two-parter and this is part one of Lisa Danielle on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 221.
