Elizabeth Barlow: Up Close and Personal with the American Flower Portraitist
American flower portraitist Elizabeth Barlow joins host Chris Stafford on the AART podcast for an in-depth biographical conversation about the woman behind the paintings. Known for her luminous Flora Portraits, Barlow brings individuality and presence to her floral subjects. In this personal interview, Chris gets up close with the artist whose work invites us to pause, look carefully, and reconsider the flowers around us. Barlow grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, surrounded by art and gardens. Her father, artist Philip Barlow, became an enduring influence, although her own path initially took her into the performing arts before she returned to painting. Her artistic development eventually led her to San Francisco, where she created Portraits in Absentia: still-life paintings that conveyed people’s identities through their meaningful possessions.A move to California’s Monterey Peninsula in 2016 opened a new chapter. Surrounded by coastal landscapes and abundant flowers, Barlow began developing the floral portraits that now define her practice. Working in oil on linen, she builds luminous surfaces through successive glazed layers, giving each composition depth and a carefully observed sense of character.At the heart of this AART episode is a life story: the experiences, influences, and personal perspective behind an artist’s distinctive vision. Chris Stafford brings her intimate, unscripted interviewing style to a conversation that offers listeners an opportunity to get to know Elizabeth beyond the finished canvas. What draws an artist to a particular subject? How does a creative identity develop over time? And what can a flower portrait invite us to notice about our own lives? Barlow’s work provides a compelling starting point for considering beauty, attention, and our relationship with the natural world.Whether you are discovering Elizabeth Barlow for the first time, developing your own painting practice, or simply enjoy hearing women tell their stories in their own words, this episode offers a personal introduction to an American artist and her creative life.Dinner party guests: Georgia O’Keeffe Mozart Cynthia Bougeault Stephen Sondheim Ann Patchett George Balanchine Favorite Female Artists: Georgia O’Keeffe Ann Truitt Rachel Ruysch Martha Alf Agnes Martin Explore Elizabeth’s paintings at https://www.elizabethbarlowart.com.Follow on Instagram @elizabethbarlowartist Follow AART on your preferred podcast platform for more in-depth conversations with women artists.

Photographer Maureen Armstrong: Capturing America’s Wild Horses
American wild horse and sports photographer Maureen Armstrong joins host Chris Stafford on the AART podcast. From the intensity of competitive sports to the open landscapes of the American West, Armstrong’s photography captures movement, emotion and the fleeting moments that give an image its story. Discover a photographer whose work brings audiences closer to America’s wild horses and the extraordinary connections within their family bands. Armstrong’s background photographing Division I football and professional sports sharpened her ability to anticipate action and respond quickly. Those instincts carry into her wild horse photography, where a running herd, an encounter between stallions or a quiet moment between a mare and foal can unfold in seconds. Her images reveal both the physical power of these animals and the tenderness of their relationships.Her pursuit of wild mustangs has taken her across Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Arizona, through landscapes ranging from sweeping plains and desert canyons to snow-covered ridges. These settings form an essential part of her visual storytelling, placing the horses within the expansive terrain they inhabit. Through her lens, the American West becomes a place of individual lives, enduring bonds and moments worth preserving. At the heart of Armstrong’s work is a commitment to documenting wild horses and advocating for their protection. Her photographs invite viewers to look closely at the animals behind a familiar symbol of freedom: their personalities, their interactions and the family connections that hold their bands together. Maureen is passionate about preserving the American Wild Horses and her work contributes this effort by increasing awareness.Explore Maureen Armstrong’s photography and fine art prints at https://staywildwallart.com.

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in communications and a concentration in film theory, she entered the profession as an apprentice picture editor on Penny Marshall’s Awakenings, starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.Those formative experiences marked the beginning of a career devoted to telling meaningful stories about people, history, culture and social change.

Where Nature Meets Healing with Photographer Beth Young
Can photographs of the natural world help create spaces of hope, comfort and healing? In this episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford speaks with Sacramento-based American wildlife photographer and architect Beth Young, whose luminous images bring the restorative beauty of nature into healthcare and residential environments throughout California.Beth’s photography can be found in hospitals, cancer centers, psychiatric facilities and elder care communities, where her images offer patients, families, residents and caregivers a meaningful connection to the natural world. Using bright colors, warm light and uplifting compositions, she creates photographs designed to evoke hope, healing, renewal and a sense of calm.During the conversation, Beth shares how her background in architecture influences the way she sees and photographs the landscape. Her understanding of space, light, design and the emotional experience of the built environment gives her a distinctive perspective on where art belongs—and how carefully chosen images can transform the atmosphere of a room.Beth discusses her approach to wildlife and nature photography, from observing the rhythms of the landscape to waiting for the light, color and composition that bring an image to life. Rather than simply documenting a place or animal, she seeks to capture the feeling of being immersed in nature: a moment of wonder, stillness or possibility that viewers can return to when they need it most.Chris and Beth also explore the growing recognition of art and nature as important elements of healing environments. For someone undergoing cancer treatment, receiving psychiatric care, living in an elder care community or supporting a loved one through illness, access to the outdoors may be limited. Beth’s photographs can provide a visual pathway into nature, inviting viewers to pause, breathe and experience a sense of connection beyond the walls around them.The episode considers the meeting point between art, architecture, healthcare and human wellbeing. Beth explains how an image intended for a hospital or therapeutic setting requires sensitivity to its audience and surroundings. Color, subject, scale and mood all matter when the goal is not only to decorate a space but also to support the people who spend time there.This thoughtful conversation reveals how wildlife photography can become more than a record of the natural world. In Beth Young’s hands, it becomes an expression of optimism and a source of emotional refuge—bringing the warmth of sunlight, the vitality of color and the resilience of nature into places where they can have a profound impact.Listen to discover how Beth developed her artistic vision, how architecture continues to shape her photography and why she believes the beauty of the natural world can help us reconnect with hope.

From East Enders to The Crown: The Life and Career of Alison Harvey
Multi-award-winning British Production Designer and Set Decorator Alison Harvey joins Chris to share the story of her life and an extraordinary career spent creating some of the most memorable worlds in British film and television.Over more than two decades, Alison has built a remarkable career across the art departments of television series and major motion pictures, progressing through a profession in which experience, instinct, imagination and an extraordinary eye for detail all play their part. Her credits span everything from British television to some of the biggest international film productions, but her journey is also the story of how a creative career develops — one job, one opportunity and one relationship at a time.In this wide-ranging conversation, Alison takes Chris back to the beginning, reflecting on her early life, the influences that shaped her creative instincts and how she first found her way into film and television. From those formative experiences came a career that would see her work her way through the art department, learning the craft from the inside and collaborating with some of the industry's leading designers and filmmakers.Her early credits included work as a design assistant on EastEnders, followed by roles as an art director, production buyer, set decorator and eventually production designer. Along the way came an extraordinary collection of films and television productions including Atonement, Sherlock Holmes, Hanna, Anna Karenina, Gravity, Edge of Tomorrow, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Hellboy, Benediction and Tetris.But it is Alison's work on the acclaimed Netflix series The Crown that has brought some of the greatest recognition of her career. As Set Decorator across all six seasons, Alison helped create the extraordinarily detailed visual world surrounding the British Royal Family, spanning decades of changing history, personalities, homes, fashions and political landscapes. The work brought Alison international recognition and multiple major industry honors. She won Primetime Emmy Awards for The Crown in 2020 for the episode Aberfan and again in 2024 for the series finale Sleep, Dearie Sleep, alongside further Emmy nominations in 2018 and 2021. Her work has also received recognition from BAFTA, the Art Directors Guild, the Royal Television Society and the British Film Designers Guild.Alison talks about recreating a world that audiences already feel they know. Her career has also brought opportunities to work alongside some of the most respected names in production design and set decoration, including Martin Childs, Celia Bobak, Sarah Greenwood, Katie Spencer, Dante Ferretti, Francesca Lo Schiavo, Paul Kirby and Valentina Mladenova.Now Alison has reached another significant chapter in that journey, stepping into the role of Production Designer on Goodbye June, the feature film directed by Kate Winslet. The project marks an important point in a career that has evolved continuously — from assisting and buying to art direction, set decoration and production design.Throughout this episode of AART, Chris and Alison explore much more than a list of film credits. They talk about the experiences behind them: the choices and opportunities that shaped Alison's path, the people she learned from, the pressures and pleasures of working in film and television, collaboration, leadership, creativity and what she has discovered about herself during a career spent largely behind the camera.It's the story of a woman who has spent much of her professional life creating the worlds in which other people's stories unfold — and the life and career behind those worlds. Alison Harvey: A Life Designing for Film & Television is a conversation about creativity, perseverance, collaboration and the unpredictable journey of building a life in the film industry.Join Chris Stafford for this episode of AART, where the conversation goes beyond the work to discover the life, experiences and stories of the woman behind it.Alison’s website: https://alisonharvey.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvey_alison/Some of Alison’s favorite female artists:Cornelia ParkerEileen AgarBarbara HepworthLucie RieSusan Halls Alison’s Dinner Party Guests:Barbara KrugerBarbara KingsolverBarbara Hepworth Barbara CastleBarbara HulanickiBarbara Streisand Keywords: Alison Harvey, Alison Harvey Production Designer, Alison Harvey The Crown, Alison Harvey interview, Alison Harvey podcast, British
