This year’s episodes continue to spotlight artists from across Upstate New York, but the conversations will occasionally take a more personal turn — reflecting on the people, places, and moments that shaped the creative paths we walk today.
Naomi Meyer
In this special episode of Art Town, I sit down with Naomi Meyer — my high school art teacher and someone who had a profound impact on my life, both as an artist and an educator. We talk about her path through art school, what led her into teaching, and the influence of her own high school art teacher. Naomi also reflects on 30 years in the classroom, the changing nature of students, and — yes — what I was like as a quiet teenager trying to find my creative voice.
