  • Dealer Wil Kucey of Le Gallery talks about his hot young artists and his prescient interest in illustrative, grafitti and street art

  • Artist Kim Dorland welcomes us into his studio as he talks about his influences, his recent work and how he hopes the viewer responds to his paintings.

Hey Andrea, Great that you posted these here. It was really fun for me to interview Kathie and Claire for this… also Kenny Doren at www.digitalopera.org did such a rad job on the shoot, dontcha think? : )
Have a great weekend, Leah

Ooooooh…. How can I call myself an editor when I spell “Kathie” as “Katie” and I even interviewed her myself?
For dictionary-owning shame!
Apologies, Katie!
And thanks again, Andrea.
Best, L
