In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman talk with artist Shaina Gates! Shaina’s art is a challenge to describe. Her stunning work took a bit of serendipity. Her experimental photography happened when she was playing with black-and-white film, but she’s not a photographer. In order to truly appreciate the mystery of Shaina’s work, you kind of need to see it for yourself! Her experimentation led her to something a bit unique — we don’t know of any other artist doing what Shaina does. The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation also thought Shaina’s work was pretty cool: Last year Shaina was the recipient of the Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant from the Charitable Foundation. This grant recognizes the important contribution of working artists to the cultural life of the region by providing an annual financial award to promote the artistic growth of visual artists and craftspeople. Shaina is now in the position to share and promote her work as an innovative contribution to the field of experimental photography. Please take a peek at Shaina’s work on the web at www.shainagates.com and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/shainagates. If you’re interested in the Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement grant, head over the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s website at www.nhcf.org/how-can-we-help-you/apply-for-a-grant/artist-advancement-grant-program/. Listen to this episode wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com.
