During the podcast they discovered they had both lost a parent when they were young.

Katie Sollohub is an artist.

She draws, she paints, she teaches and she sea swims.

In this podcast Katie speaks about how she looks at world intensely, noticing everything, making connections and finding narratives.

Her work records the process of looking, crossing through time and space, drawing on memory and history.\\xa0

\\u201cI like to bring things alive through my creative practice, animating objects and spaces. My eyes reach out like an octopus\\u2019s tentacles, my hands and body follow, with gesture and movement, leaving traces of this experience of looking as marks on the page. Observation, sound and touch help me feel present, anchoring me in a place from where I can dream.\\u201d

Katie is currently exploring meditation through drawing.
