Episode Synopsis

What makes art resonate- technique, truth, or something we can’t quite name? In this intimate episode of Peace & Good Wealth, host Loy Carlos sits down with celebrated sculptor and cultural curator Leah Poller, whose figurative work delves into the energy that connects artist, object, and observer.Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and known for her iconic Bed Series and Warrior Women sculptures, Poller reflects on her decades-long journey across continents, mediums, and mindsets. From forging a life as an artist and mother in post-1960s Paris, to collaborating with monumental foundries in China, to quietly championing the dignity of the “ordinary woman,” her story is one of discipline, disruption, and devotion to truth.Together, they explore:The alchemy of turning energy into formThe spiritual anatomy of a sculpted portraitHow culture, not commerce, should define the value of artWhy good art- like good wealth- transforms the one who holds itAt once poetic and practical, Leah reminds us that true art doesn’t just decorate a space- it dignifies the soul.Explore Leah's work: https://leahpoller.com/https://www.instagram.com/nsglobalwealth/https://www.officeofglobalwealth.com--Credits:Loy Carlos (Host)Kenneth J.
