Ep: 48 Interview w/ Artist, Catherine Haggarty

Pep Talks for Artists

This week, I welcomed back, painter, Catherine Haggarty to the Peps pod. We spoke about her background as a high school basketball player and how the focus and commitment required to be an athlete have so many parallels to the life of an artist. Catherine makes luminous paintings and drawings using spray paint, acrylic, watercolor and oil stick of imagined domestic interiors, all put through her uniquely surrealist and prismatic lens. Also, find out what her term "Instagram Brain" means!

Catch Catherine's work in person in "Support Structures" at TSA (NY) until June 18, 2023
