SO, where to begin? At the beginning, of course. I asked San Francisco based artist Leah Rosenberg<\/a> if she was an artsy kid… and I found out we have more in common than I ever could have imagined! Intrigued? Perfect. Listen right up there under Leah painting her installation\/mural at SFMoMA<\/a>, or download\u00a0ART FOR YOUR EAR<\/strong>\u00a0wherever you get your podcasts.<\/p>\n

First up, “Everywhere A Color”<\/em><\/a>. This is the work that stopped me mid-sprint at the San Francisco Airport:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oooh, I do love a good color legend! How could I not<\/em> stop to take a closer look!?<\/p>\n

I also got to see “Gather and Break”<\/em><\/a> in person at the Facebook offices in Menlo Park, California:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Obviously, I loved this too.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about Leah’s work (besides the stunning use of color, of course)<\/em> is the personal presence required. Here’s a peek into her space at the Vermont Studio Center<\/a> residency, where she created “Every Day A Color”<\/a>… starting with GREEN, representing the blades of grass Leah noticed poking through the snow:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brilliant. Also brilliant… Leah’s friend, artist Susan O’Malley<\/a>‘s book, titled “Advice From My 80-Year-Old Self”<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are photos I took of my personal copy… it’s on my mantle as we speak, and I love it and its wise contents oh so very much.<\/p>\n

Leah and I talked about a few of the projects they did together, “A Healing Walk”, located at\u00a0Montalvo Arts Center<\/a> in Saratoga, CA:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/em> So beautiful. I think we should all go for a healing walk… as soon as you finish listening to this episode!<\/p>\n

And then, of course, there’s this beautiful, inspiring, massive undertaking:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Getting Better Every Day A Color”<\/em><\/a> at SFMoMA. What an absolutely beautiful homage to a friend and fellow artist. I’m sure Susan was with her for every colorful step.<\/p>\n

And finally, I can’t finish this post without showing you just a little bit of Leah’s cake:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NO MORE CAKE, said her prof!? Forget that… I say MORE cake! Thank you so much to Leah for taking so much time to share her stories with me; thanks to Create Magazine (and their CALL FOR ART!)<\/em><\/a> for supporting this episode; and as always, huge thanks to you for listening. ~ Danielle<\/p>\n
