Today’s podcast is about team teaching and features a conversation with Nathalie Kalbach. Nathalie is a self-taught mixed media artist.
She was born in Germany and lived most of her adult life in Hamburg before moving to the United States in September 2013. She now lives in Jersey City, NJ.
“For the last decade I have been exploring the possibilities of creating dimension and texture by layering different materials and paint media. I have worked in art journals and on canvas, incorporating collage and found objects.
For me, creating art is a dialogue between my skills and the supplies I use. It is not so much a battle as an ongoing attempt to work out the connections between ideas and techniques.
In my mixed media canvases I emphasize urban subject matter, especially gentrification. I depict the vibrancy as well as the decay that I see in the cities around me from multiple viewpoints, represented by layering and tactile dimension.”
On the podcast we discuss the more than decade long friendship Nathalie and I share…
…and some thoughts on the benefits of team teaching, as that’s what we’ll be doing at the beginning of next month.
