  • This is my favorite art-related podcast

    I first discovered Studio Break a couple years back, when I’d returned to college for art and was spending long weekend hours in the studio drawing still lives with charcoal. It had a large backlog of episodes to fill that time, and it featured artists talking about art…what could be better when you’re having to determine how to draw a flat piece of paper in perspective?

    The best thing about this podcast is that host David Linneweh does not come to the mic with an agenda. He is not flogging a ... more

    I’ve been taking in a couple episodes a day as a necessary dose of painting talk. I really appreciate the focus on non-coastal artists. I’ve discovered some gems from the backlog like Ben Duke. Thanks for putting this out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JOCELYN REID
Q: What sparked your shift from purely functional ceramics to more sculptural and narrative works?
The move happened in grad school as I re-evaluated the values of my practice; I started experimenting with new materials like soap, 3D modeling, and casting to explore impermanence, personal storytelling, and the idea of objects carrying meaning beyond function.
JOCELYN REID
Q: How did you choose the MFA program and location that finally felt right for you?
I wanted a three-year interdisciplinary program where I'd be paid to study, avoid debt, and expand my material horizons, which led me to the University of Arkansas after meeting a faculty member at a residency who suggested it due to its funding and growth potential.
CAROLINE WINGERD
Q: How did your experiences abroad influence your artwork, particularly the Monsters and your approach to printmaking?
She discusses how Poland challenged her comfort zone and Italy broadened her exposure to large-scale environments, informing her concept of space, process, and the way end products arise from travel-induced observations.
CAROLINE WINGERD
Q: Remind everybody, are you originally from that area, or where did you grow up?
Caroline explains she grew up primarily in Michigan and then moved to Cary, North Carolina, near Raleigh, which shaped her access to different art communities.
GRETA KRESSE
Q: What role does color play in conveying time, humidity, and place in your work?
Color is used to carry meaning and to evoke specific atmospheres—like late-summer humidity in Arkansas—often employing limited palettes to heighten tension and focus the viewer on core abstractions.
