Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsOn this episode I sit down with LA  artist and Hunter Alum, Christian Rogers. We talk about his combined process of drawing, photography and painting, his cozy home studio, distractions vs flow-state, breaking rules, and rules that don't help, forcing a painting, painting variations (aka bad printmaking) overcoming challenges, joyful painting, deconstructing success, what is allowed?, ways to access the universal, who are you painting for?, positivity through negative experiences, and Christian's anathema: an incredible art collection he's built over the years from visiting centers for adults with disabilities.
