ROB STANGROOM: intuitive painter + marine biologist / stepping through doors
Wisconsin-based ROB STANGROOM, a former marine biologist turned intuitive painter, gets a thrill having one foot in the known and the other in the unknown. From tracking whale migration to landscape architecture, Rob has learned to see the “open doors” in life and never hesitates to explore what is on the other side. Inspired by a lifelong love of nature and a persistent desire to work with his hands, Rob shares how he has crafted his art career, never being afraid to ask for help to get to the next level. This is a particularly great listen for anyone who is new or returning to art a bit later in life.Find Rob:Website: www.robstangroom.comFacebook: robstangroomartMentioned:Princeton Catalyst tools (buy) Keep Going, Austin Kleon (2019) (read) also the author of Steal Like An Artist and Show Your Work!Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway (explore) The Adjacent Possible: Evolve Your Art from Blank Canvas to Prolific Artist, Nancy Hellis (2021) (read)Isabelle Alessandra, artist (see) Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation, Museum of Fine Arts Boston exhibit (watch video) Futura 2000, artist (learn) Futura Teaches Spray-Painting & Abstract Art, MasterClass trailer (watch) Cadillac Ranch, outside Amarillo, Texas (explore) Don’t Go To Art School,”Noah Bradley, artist-writer (read) The Gifts of Imperfection, Brene Brown (read)Find Me, Kristy Darnell Battani:Website: https://www.kristybattani.comInstagram: kristybattaniartFacebook: kristybattaniartDid you enjoy this episode?
