Join me in a conversation with figure and cityscape painter Dave Clay about ditching the world of comics to make paintings, placing figures in abstract or imagined spaces, and how stating “I am an Artist” will make you feel more successful as an artist.

Dave Clay is a figurative/landscape painter in Seattle, WA. “I strive to create art that provokes empathy and introspection. I trust the viewer to connect with the art with their own personal experiences unique to the individual. I use atmosphere, texture, destruction and ambiguity in my industrial landscapes and figures such that they remain open to interpretation while providing a unique visual language. I often struggle to achieve the breadth of these goals, but I want my art to reflect that personal struggle, to capture the method and madness of the creative process, leaving the piece, and myself, vulnerable.”

Host and artist Stephanie Scott breaks down the practicality of the art career with topics including: sustainable creative practices, social media skills, and the mindsets that keep it all together. New episodes every Tuesday!
