I had
such an amazing time talking to the incredible painter Daisy
Patton! Daisy is so easy to talk to and incredibly sharp, it was a
blast to record this with her. In this episode we talk about
getting out of grad school, changing mediums, death, photography,
painting, treating yourself and a ton of other great topics! I felt
like I was hanging out with my painting BFF. From Los Angeles,
California, Daisy
Patton moved back and
forth between Oklahoma and California during her childhood. She
spent much of her early years reading adventure and detective
tales, history and art history books, and ghost stories. Patton’s
practice is focused on history, memory, and social commentary
stemming from this youth soaked in such specific cultural
landscapes. Her work explores the meaning and social conventions of
families, little discussed or hidden histories, and what it is to
be a person living in our contemporary world. One such series
