The(art)Scene Podcast is a series of conversations with up & coming artists, gallery owners and art/museum professionals. We’ll cover not only their work, but other facets of their lives and the stories that come with them.
Today's guest is Shannon Rogers, an artist and painter based out of Oakland, CA. You'll hear us discuss his early beginnings in Little Rock, Arkansas and his growth as an artist exploring geometric abstraction during his studies at both the SAIC in Chicago and the New York Studio School. We also talked about his time as an art professor in his home town and finally his current solo show currently on view at Pt. 2 Gallery (https://www.part2gallery.com/shannon2025public) in Oakland titled, Dreamlands

57: Episode 57: Meryl Pataky
The newest episode of the podcast features, Meryl Pataky (http://www.merylpataky.com), a multi-disciplined artist known for her amazing neon pieces. Based here in the Bay Area, I visited Meryl in her studio to discuss her early beginnings as a mixed media artist, her neon practice and She Bends (https://www.shebends.com/), an organization she founded to create a more equitable future for neon. Finally, we also talked about the new exhibition curated by She Bends at the Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM) (https://www.thecjm.org) in San Francisco titled First Light: Rituals of Glass and Neon Art (https://www.thecjm.org/current_exhibitions). The exhibition features neon work by various artists including Meryl, that "explores mastery in craft as a devotional pursuit, presenting breathtaking artworks that connect both artists and viewers to spirituality, wonder, and universal questions of human existence." The show is up at the CJM through April 28, 2024. Visit the museum website for more details.
