192: Carving Time for Yourself with Sarah Matthews and Miriam Schulman

As we continue to deal with the tail end of the pandemic that rocked us all in 2020, we are starting to see artists emerging that found perseverance and something to hold on to.  Sarah Matthews is an accomplished artist that specializes in printmaking and binding. She’s an Alma Thomas Fellow at the Studio Gallery in Washington, DC, and part of the permanent collections of Yale's Manuscript Library. We can’t leave out that she’s also a wife and busy mom.  In this episode, Sarah shares how her art survived the challenges and struggles Covid created. She has incredible experiences teaching art at a college level and sharing her gifts with people everywhere she can. 

Areas we explore with Sarah: 

• How she got her art into Yale 
• What is an artist’s book?
• Sarah’s art classes for printmaking and binding
• Sarah’s Covid experience and finding new opportunities
• Behind the scenes of an artist’s marketing strategy 

“If there's something that you really want to do, just go out and do it, [...] we should be able to live our life to the fullest each and every day.” -Sarah Matthews
