Speaker 8: That is the American radio premiere of that track. Again
Speaker 8: that it's a peace of You. I think I said
Speaker 8: peace of Mind, piece of You rather. The band is
Speaker 8: called Rivia. And if you are listening live, this is
Speaker 8: Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios
Speaker 8: of wm n H ninety five point three FM on
Speaker 8: this Saturday, August nine, twenty twenty five. Jenny is here,
Speaker 8: of course at the news table, President and account of
Speaker 8: and joining us, making her return to the show she
Speaker 8: was on with us a long time ago. Amber Nicole
Speaker 8: Cannon is here.
Speaker 9: Hello, Hello, thank you for having me.
Speaker 8: Welcome back. So what did you talk about when you
Speaker 8: were on the show before, because we were talking about
Speaker 8: this off air and it was so long ago. It
Speaker 8: was in the previous building, but it was like like
Speaker 8: how many like would you say, like four or five years?
Speaker 9: Four or five years, it's got to be at this point.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So I'd founded a company called Uncharted and we teach
Speaker 10: kids science but trick them into thinking it's art okay,
Speaker 10: And actually it has since become a nonprofit and we're growing.
Speaker 10: We've got eight people working all the way from Franklin,
Speaker 10: New Hampshire down to Lowell, Massachusetts, teaching kids in hands on, explosive,
Speaker 10: colorful ways.
Speaker 8: Okay, it's starting to come back to me now because
Speaker 8: I think that was I think when you were on
Speaker 8: that might have been one of those times that I
Speaker 8: told the story of my own. Uh. When I was
Speaker 8: a kid, I remember how much I hated art class
Speaker 8: because I felt like they were trying to force me
Speaker 8: to be artistic and I'm not visually artistic at all.
Speaker 9: And that's okay, yeah.
Speaker 8: I thought so. The art teachers did not.
Speaker 10: It's about exploring what your creativity actually is. Yeah, And
Speaker 10: you know, really, be honest, teachers in schools are so
Speaker 10: overworked and tired and they just need all our support
Speaker 10: and love that they just don't get the resources that
Speaker 10: really help every kid in the classroom.
Speaker 8: Right right, no doubt you've got. We should start with
Speaker 8: You've got a big show coming up.
Speaker 11: I do.
Speaker 10: It's amazing. It's my first solo show. It is at
Speaker 10: the Nashville Public Library on Thursday the fourteenth at six
Speaker 10: o'clock okay, And the show's been up for about a
Speaker 10: month and a half, so this is like one of
Speaker 10: the last chances you get to see it. We're doing
Speaker 10: like a closing instead of opening because the summer's been wild. Okay,
Speaker 10: there will be cake because it's also my fortieth birthday party.
Speaker 10: I just decided you've got to combine these things. We
Speaker 10: don't have time to celebrate twice.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: But it's actually a big gallery.
Speaker 10: I didn't even know it was there, and I got
Speaker 10: to tourt and I was like, I don't even know
Speaker 10: if I have enough work to fill this space, but
Speaker 10: it turns out I do, and it's been a wild ride.
Speaker 10: People have been visiting it and sending me pictures of
Speaker 10: them visiting it, and I keep going in every week
Speaker 10: to just you know, finicky touch up hanging tag, yeah,
Speaker 10: adjust an art piece. But it feels really good.
Speaker 8: So so it's it's been up for a while. Yes, okay, yes,
Speaker 8: So how does that work? Can people just go u?
Speaker 8: I mean outside of the events. Can people just go
Speaker 8: at any point to any the library and see yes? Okay.
Speaker 10: And it's pretty family friendly too, because I work with
Speaker 10: kids a lot, So if you want to bring your
Speaker 10: kids during the summer break, right right before school starts,
Speaker 10: get their last bit of reading in before the you know,
Speaker 10: summer ends. You can totally go check out the art pieces.
Speaker 10: There are even some pieces that will appeal directly to
Speaker 10: kids that you can like buy stickers or prints of
Speaker 10: the are like animals of New Hampshire. And it's a
Speaker 10: great library it and it's down in the basement. So
Speaker 10: when you come in the main doors and you turn
Speaker 10: right and you go down the stairwell on the right,
Speaker 10: or take the elevator that's that's on the left right there. Okay,
Speaker 10: you go down and it's this big open space and
Speaker 10: I've got like really big silks that I made with
Speaker 10: able and h and then we've got some cyanotypes around
Speaker 10: on the other side of the wall. There's like this
Speaker 10: big wall in the middle where you can put art
Speaker 10: on both sides. So it's big art.
Speaker 9: It's big art. Turns out I make big art.
Speaker 8: Well, okay, so tell us about the type of art
Speaker 8: that you make, because I saw this firm biomedical art.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So my background is I have a degree in biomedical
Speaker 10: art from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Hence the untarted
Speaker 10: thing teaching kids, you know, science through art. I hadn't
Speaker 10: really been into my formal art practice, you know, in
Speaker 10: the fine arts for a while. I really, you know,
Speaker 10: society tells us artists don't make money, so you don't
Speaker 10: pursue the fine arts, and so I was really pursuing
Speaker 10: the commercial arts thing with illustration and graphic design and
Speaker 10: logos and that kind of thing. And I did fine,
Speaker 10: and I showed that work regularly, but COVID hit and
Speaker 10: I developed disabilities around the same time, more than I
Speaker 10: originally had, and I needed a way.
Speaker 9: To get it out.
Speaker 10: So I just started making I had to relearn to
Speaker 10: walk in Manchester during COVID Wow, so I had to
Speaker 10: walk on the sidewalks in Manchester, which were not conducive
Speaker 10: to that process. So I would walk for ten minutes,
Speaker 10: sit down and make a painting for an hour, and
Speaker 10: come back. And I just did that. Not well, it
Speaker 10: was part of my physical therapy. I needed to do
Speaker 10: this interesting and so these pieces have developed into what
Speaker 10: I think is a big feature in the show called
Speaker 10: disability frames, where inside each piece is this cute little
Speaker 10: five by five watercolor, but around it is this massive
Speaker 10: frame that's more than twice the size of the piece
Speaker 10: reflecting the challenges I had getting there, whether it was
Speaker 10: a lack of a sidewalk cut or whether it was
Speaker 10: just pain that day I just couldn't get out of bed, right,
Speaker 10: They all reflect the various infrastructure challenges I face. Sometimes
Speaker 10: it was just wet leaves, right, Like wet leaves were.
Speaker 9: Very scary for me. I can re point wow.
Speaker 10: And so that's a big part of the show, is
Speaker 10: talking about my body and its development through this phase.
Speaker 8: In my life. One of the things that comes up
Speaker 8: a lot on this show is well, really a couple
Speaker 8: of things, but they go together. One is using trauma
Speaker 8: and challenge and negative experiences to create art out of that.
Speaker 8: You know, we interview more musicians than anybody, so we
Speaker 8: talk a lot about, you know, creating music from that.
Speaker 8: In fact, our guest coming up an hour three, Nancy Manet.
Speaker 8: You know, we always talk about that with her too,
Speaker 8: because a lot of what she's been through and informs
Speaker 8: of the music that she makes, So we always talk
Speaker 8: about how that's really kind of the best therapy, right,
Speaker 8: taking something negative and creating something positive, because not only
Speaker 8: are you creating art, but you're creating something that other
Speaker 8: people can relate to, so it not only helps you,
Speaker 8: but it potentially helps other people too. And the other
Speaker 8: thing that we also that seems to come up a
Speaker 8: lot on the show is COVID and how people found
Speaker 8: a lot of ways to be creative during COVID that
Speaker 8: perhaps would not have happened otherwise. And again, you know,
Speaker 8: when we're talking to musicians, it's usually you know, well, I,
Speaker 8: you know, my band and I we had to learn
Speaker 8: how to email tracks back and forth while we were
Speaker 8: recording an album because we couldn't all be in the
Speaker 8: same room because it was very scary and went.
Speaker 9: On digital skills right exactly.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and it really forced the pandemic really forced a
Speaker 8: lot of musicians to open up to things that they
Speaker 8: they hadn't considered before. Even me, Like, I'm a certified hypnotherapist,
Speaker 8: and I found myself since the pandemic more open to
Speaker 8: seeing clients online, you know, instead of feeling like I
Speaker 8: had to be in the same room with them to
Speaker 8: properly do a session. So, but but those are two
Speaker 8: of the things that we talk about a lot, you know,
Speaker 8: taking taking negative experiences and creating, and also how the
Speaker 8: pandemic kind of forced people to find new ways to
Speaker 8: do that or new sources of inspiration to do that.
Speaker 8: But in your case, I mean it sounds like this
Speaker 8: was a pretty serious ex example of that, right because
Speaker 8: because of what COVID did to you and how you
Speaker 8: had to overcome that and and create art while you're
Speaker 8: doing that. I mean, that's incredible.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it uh, it really pointed out a lot of
Speaker 10: the like challenges to getting around the city too for me,
Speaker 10: for other people that I maybe just overlooked a lot
Speaker 10: because I was just zooming through life, you know, and
Speaker 10: I didn't see people struggling until I was in the struggle,
Speaker 10: and so I started reaching out to different organizations that
Speaker 10: supported disabilities like able and agent got to As I healed,
Speaker 10: I was then able to bring some of my healing
Speaker 10: to communities outside of myself. And that's why that's why
Speaker 10: the show is called Body of Work, because it's about
Speaker 10: bodies and healing and then how when you heal inside,
Speaker 10: when you begin healing yourself, and I won't ever be
Speaker 10: fully healed, like, let's be honest, it's more comfort of
Speaker 10: where I'm at and then finding the next challenge. Yeah,
Speaker 10: it's it's about then bringing it to others. So that
Speaker 10: they can maybe find some healing in what you've created.
Speaker 10: It's it's about connecting with people.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so now you have experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 8: Actually, Okay, do you still work in the pharmaceutical industry now?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 10: On Charter takes up most of my time. I also
Speaker 10: volunteer as a Department of Public Works commissioner so that
Speaker 10: I can advocate for sidewalks and bike lanes in Manchester,
Speaker 10: which are very important to people getting around the city.
Speaker 10: That's how, you know, I turned my sadness and tears
Speaker 10: into I'm going to work on this problem. And then
Speaker 10: I got out of pharmaceutical So it's actually kind of
Speaker 10: a weird story. But I was working on in the
Speaker 10: informed consent process and I didn't feel like it was
Speaker 10: true or real, and I couldn't find sponsoring companies for
Speaker 10: clinical trials that were like interested in actually making it
Speaker 10: a real informed consent process. You know, they get these
Speaker 10: like two inch yeah really, but it's thick pieces of
Speaker 10: paper written at a grade level. Most people don't understand saying,
Speaker 10: you know, I'm gonna agree to participate in this clinical trial,
Speaker 10: but then they don't actually understand it, right, And then
Speaker 10: they get like surprised by something like a spinal tap,
Speaker 10: and no one wants a surprise spinal tap, right, So
Speaker 10: I realized I couldn't help the adults. Okay, Ultimately, I
Speaker 10: think we adults, even myself, we kind of get stuck
Speaker 10: in our ways and it's harder to open up our
Speaker 10: brains to new ideas. So I started tutoring some people
Speaker 10: who are very gifted in science but wanted to improve
Speaker 10: their art skills because I could. I could bridge that
Speaker 10: vocabulary channel, if you will, And it worked. And so
Speaker 10: then one of the kids I was tutoring, their mom
Speaker 10: was a headmaster's school and said, come here teach year.
Speaker 10: I was like, yeah, sure, okay, And then within two
Speaker 10: weeks I was in Claire's Charter school, and within six
Speaker 10: months I was in all the Title one schools in Manchester,
Speaker 10: bringing this programming to kids so that when they hit there,
Speaker 10: when they're in control of their health, they'll be able
Speaker 10: to talk about it, they'll be able to help their
Speaker 10: family's health, and they'll be able to navigate the health system.
Speaker 10: That's really what it like stemmed out of. Of course,
Speaker 10: we've gone wider, like we're talking about watershed management with
Speaker 10: the Nature Conservancy who sponsored projects with us and focusing
Speaker 10: on all around science education.
Speaker 8: How did so, how did that grow so quickly? I mean,
Speaker 8: because that's that's impressive that.
Speaker 10: It's a great question, and if I knew, i'd write
Speaker 10: a book about it. But I think it was just
Speaker 10: clearly a passion of mine and I was in it
Speaker 10: one hundred percent and loved it, and I think that
Speaker 10: came through it. And I think there's a real need
Speaker 10: for it too, because you know, we do seem to
Speaker 10: be lowering the amount of money as a city that
Speaker 10: we're putting into schools, so other things need to come
Speaker 10: in to make up that deficit, and that's potentially or
Speaker 10: it is uncharted coming in and teaching those things. And
Speaker 10: the kids are hungry for it too, you know. And
Speaker 10: I have I fully support all the teachers in our schools.
Speaker 10: They need so much more love and funds and everything
Speaker 10: to make their lives easier because it should be easier
Speaker 10: for them, but they are set into this mold that's
Speaker 10: been created by buyer systems, and unchartered can come outside
Speaker 10: of that mold and reach the kids that aren't fitting
Speaker 10: that mold. Okay, So, and I think there's a lot
Speaker 10: more that don't fit the mold than we realize. Just
Speaker 10: like people with disabilities, right, we don't fit this, whatever
Speaker 10: the standard, and I'm using quotations very clearly, whatever the
Speaker 10: normal is, we don't fit it. And you know, as
Speaker 10: I get fully more and more immersed and embracing on
Speaker 10: my disabled identity, I'm seeing it in kids too. Actually,
Speaker 10: one of the things that's developed is, you know, as
Speaker 10: I read IEPs for kids and the things I need
Speaker 10: to be doing to make sure they're learning at the
Speaker 10: best of their ability, I'm like looking at and going, oh,
Speaker 10: that's a good idea. I should do that for myself.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So I'm learning a lot about myself when I'm
Speaker 10: learning about other people's disabilities, which is also why I
Speaker 10: try to be so open about mine. Yeah, so that
Speaker 10: other people can find it faster and with less trial
Speaker 10: and tribulation than I did. But yeah, the kids have
Speaker 10: taught me a lot about myself.
Speaker 8: Oh that's cool. By the way, for people who don't know,
Speaker 8: what is an IEP.
Speaker 10: An individual education plan? Okay, yeah, thank you for calling
Speaker 10: that out.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, no problem. It's funny. Over the years that
Speaker 8: term has come up a lot on the show. But
Speaker 8: but but yeah, but people don't know. You know, if
Speaker 8: it's not something you've had to directly engage with, you
Speaker 8: wouldn't know.
Speaker 9: No, no, you wouldn't know.
Speaker 8: So now, so what parents who are putting their kids into? Uh,
Speaker 8: because you you have like a summer camp.
Speaker 10: We have summer camps right now. So we ran three
Speaker 10: summer camps at Positive Street Art in Nashua because they
Speaker 10: are fantastic partners.
Speaker 8: Oh, somebody from Positive Street Art was was on?
Speaker 9: Who was was it? Yazz Manny Cecilia?
Speaker 8: No, there was somebody involved, though I can't remember. It
Speaker 8: was a musician. Wasn't it a musician? I can't remember.
Speaker 10: Now there are so many good people that are part
Speaker 10: of that organization, supporting it because it's doing so much
Speaker 10: good work.
Speaker 8: Yeah? Was it Mike McDowell maybe the healer?
Speaker 12: No, I think I don't remember.
Speaker 8: That's okay, But but whoever it was, Yeah, but it
Speaker 8: wasn't any of the three. Yeah, yeas was on the
Speaker 8: show a long time ago. But it wasn't any of
Speaker 8: the three people you mentioned. But we have somebody on
Speaker 8: talking about it. Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Uh, they're doing really fantastic work through the city here
Speaker 10: and like giving opportunities to you know, kids that had
Speaker 10: to pick different paths in life through various circumstances. And
Speaker 10: they also work with people with disabilities in really engaging
Speaker 10: and wholesome ways.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm a big fan. So partnering with them was
Speaker 10: like a perfect Kismet opportunity. And have a beautiful space, yeah,
Speaker 10: that we get to work out of with the gallery
Speaker 10: and the kids getting so inspired.
Speaker 9: By the artwork around them.
Speaker 8: That's really colo.
Speaker 10: And next week we're working with the y w c
Speaker 10: A for our sy Art Camp. So you'll see us
Speaker 10: downtown here going around the parks collecting little specimens of
Speaker 10: bugs and and and spiders and and plants and dirt
Speaker 10: and we're gonna look at under microscopes and we're gonna
Speaker 10: learn to draw it and represent it in a science
Speaker 10: communication kind of way.
Speaker 8: Oh very cool. Yeah, I remember who it was now,
Speaker 8: I was Justin Hunt. Is that name familiar to you.
Speaker 9: I'm not as much on the music side, admittedly, gotcha.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Justin's Yeah, he's he's actually not a musician, but
Speaker 8: he came on with an interest story he does. He
Speaker 8: does a lot of really positive things. I should get
Speaker 8: in touch with him. We should have him back on.
Speaker 10: But probably if he's associated with positive street art, probably.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I hope I'm thinking of the right person.
Speaker 8: So now before so, what was your experience like with
Speaker 8: art before COVID were you? Were you actively?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 10: I never stopped making really truly, so I was. I
Speaker 10: was working as a professional, like creative director and those
Speaker 10: kinds of things for different companies through through time, and
Speaker 10: I always like just kind of doodled. I never stopped
Speaker 10: like and you can look at the years on the
Speaker 10: artworks in the show too and kind of see that
Speaker 10: that was the case, because I do I have a
Speaker 10: Bachelor of Fine Arts, like it is arts arts, arts,
Speaker 10: and but I really I don't know. So I come
Speaker 10: from a long line of scientists, engineers, physicists, that kind
Speaker 10: of thing, and they were fully supportive of me going
Speaker 10: into the arts, even if it did make me a
Speaker 10: little bit of a black sheep.
Speaker 9: But I had my.
Speaker 10: Own internalized message that I needed to make money at
Speaker 10: this whatever I was doing with the majority of my time,
Speaker 10: I needed to make money, right, and so I really
Speaker 10: focused on the commercial stuff, making ads and illustrations that
Speaker 10: would bring in money a lot less self expression. I
Speaker 10: did a lot with like adornments that I didn't really
Speaker 10: consider art, whether it was sewing or creating things for
Speaker 10: my house that really, when I look at it, those
Speaker 10: are art objects and can are just as valid as
Speaker 10: anything else to be displayed in a.
Speaker 9: Gallery.
Speaker 10: And that came out of some of my relationship with
Speaker 10: Yazz and through Positive Street are too, recognizing that these
Speaker 10: everyday creations that we are making, whether it's even just
Speaker 10: in our life choices, they are art and they are
Speaker 10: shaping the world around us and should be considered just
Speaker 10: as strongly as a traditional painting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you've always so when you when you decided
Speaker 8: to do that and to pursue that degree, did you
Speaker 8: have family members try to talk you out of it.
Speaker 9: No one tried to talk me out of it.
Speaker 8: They did.
Speaker 10: They did say, you know, art will never pay as much.
Speaker 9: As engineering, okay, which which is.
Speaker 10: Funny because when my husband and I graduate college exactly
Speaker 10: at the same time, technically, I was paid more than
Speaker 10: he was, and he's an engineer.
Speaker 9: He quickly surpassed me. But I just negotiated more for.
Speaker 8: My pay okay, okay, And.
Speaker 10: You know, I run a small business. Now, I don't
Speaker 10: mind that kind of talk. But they were supportive in
Speaker 10: the best ways they could. And they always knew I
Speaker 10: was some kind of artists. Like you know, my mom
Speaker 10: was like, even as early as first grades, I's drawing
Speaker 10: better than I am. I don't, I can't. This isn't
Speaker 10: an area I can instruct her, And so they'd find me,
Speaker 10: you know, art lessons at the library and things like that.
Speaker 10: I watched Bob Ross's religious yeah, oh yeah. And you know,
Speaker 10: both my parents have their artistic focus. Like my dad
Speaker 10: was photography growing up and now he makes amazing award
Speaker 10: winning wooden kayaks. He retire so he can he can
Speaker 10: do that beautiful thing, and he did it before he retired.
Speaker 10: My mom is is a noted fibers artists that goes
Speaker 10: around and gives workshops on spinning and weaving and knitting.
Speaker 10: I think I think primarily it's the spinning she's into
Speaker 10: in the weaving, oh wow.
Speaker 9: But always an artist.
Speaker 10: They just they chose to pursue the fun making for
Speaker 10: their right, which is working well for them because they're retired.
Speaker 9: And comfortable now there you you know.
Speaker 10: Both based on my generation and time graduating and choices
Speaker 10: of my own career may never happen.
Speaker 9: But we'll work towards it. Sure, sure, but I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 10: I think even if I were to retire tomorrow, if
Speaker 10: I won the lottery or whatever, I'd still do exactly
Speaker 10: what I'm doing right now.
Speaker 9: So maybe I am retired.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah. And in terms of in terms of the
Speaker 8: art that you create, because you mentioned that you didn't
Speaker 8: think or you were uncertain at first when this opportunity
Speaker 8: to have your art at the nash is it Nashuell
Speaker 8: a public library? Is that digital that you didn't think
Speaker 8: you had enough pieces necessarily for I was.
Speaker 9: I was concerned.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And I've been focusing on these small pieces out
Speaker 10: of COVID, right, these things that I could travel with,
Speaker 10: even taking as I relearned to walk, I had to
Speaker 10: relearn to ski, so I would take them up on mountains.
Speaker 10: I'd ski a couple runs and sit there for an
Speaker 10: hour or two at the lodge and paint and then
Speaker 10: ski some more. So, like it's a very very compact.
Speaker 10: But then I just started looking back over my like
Speaker 10: I just started pulling things out of the woodworks, you know,
Speaker 10: like how you store everything, and suddenly I've got a
Speaker 10: massive pile of stuff that I can put in and
Speaker 10: you know, not limiting myself, right, because I've done a
Speaker 10: lot of fashion work, okay, and so there's several mannequins
Speaker 10: in the show with various pieces I've created for my
Speaker 10: body and other people's bodies. And then that's also why
Speaker 10: it's called body work because it does it's all has
Speaker 10: to do with the body, the human body as a
Speaker 10: biomedical artists. That makes sense because I am just kind
Speaker 10: of drawn, is like a special interest. And then it's
Speaker 10: not just my body, it's other people's bodies and the
Speaker 10: art that goes on their bodies.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I wanted to ask you more about that too, because
Speaker 8: the name of the show is body of Work, and
Speaker 8: I think I think I forgot to mention that earlier.
Speaker 8: So yeah, can you expand on that a little bit?
Speaker 8: Why let's call that? And what's your inspiration to call
Speaker 8: it that?
Speaker 10: It was that that pulling of the art from different
Speaker 10: places all over the house. I was like, Okay, this
Speaker 10: is what I have. How does this all unite? Like,
Speaker 10: if this is all gonna be one show, I either
Speaker 10: need to limit it like and give it logs the
Speaker 10: white space, or is everything relevant? And I began thinking
Speaker 10: about it, and I started looking at pieces that. I
Speaker 10: was like, well that's not relevant, but it's got a
Speaker 10: skull in it. Well that's that's a body part, right.
Speaker 10: This was created in relationship in response to pain in
Speaker 10: my body. This was related to my body moving through space.
Speaker 10: This was a result of my body needing to rest.
Speaker 10: This was me networking with other people and learning about
Speaker 10: other people's bodies and helping their bodies engage in art.
Speaker 10: And this went on my body. And this is a
Speaker 10: T shirt that goes on my body. And this is
Speaker 10: a this is a dress form I made of someone
Speaker 10: else's body. This is a dress form made of my body.
Speaker 10: And I began realizing it was all about the body.
Speaker 10: And so it is a little bit of a pun.
Speaker 10: I love a good dad pun. So it's like a
Speaker 10: body of work that you can call that writ and
Speaker 10: artists like, this is my body of work.
Speaker 9: But it's also very.
Speaker 10: Relational to a human body, my human body and the
Speaker 10: body of community that is here in New Hampshire through
Speaker 10: groups like able and H and others. So it really
Speaker 10: came about and I was like, oh, it all, it
Speaker 10: all relates. And there are a few pieces I didn't
Speaker 10: put in because they didn't relate, even if they were bigger,
Speaker 10: like pieces that were more focused on my yard or
Speaker 10: my garden. You could make a case for them to
Speaker 10: be in. But when I got to it, it really
Speaker 10: just I was like, this is it. It's it's about disability,
Speaker 10: it's about community, it's about I don't want to say
Speaker 10: recovery because that implies like an end, but it's about healing.
Speaker 8: Yeah, are you how are you doing today physically? I
Speaker 8: mean at this.
Speaker 10: Point, yeah, it's very interesting. So my n my idiopathic
Speaker 10: hypersomnia is well managed.
Speaker 8: The dots of what what is that?
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, it's a form of it's like narcolepsy, and
Speaker 10: it means I sleep a lot when I'm not medicated,
Speaker 10: so there's a a lot of meds I have to
Speaker 10: be on to manage that and to be able to
Speaker 10: drive safely and things like that. But it means I
Speaker 10: like a really very day, which is great because that's
Speaker 10: what I turn gives me, boping between kids and whiting
Speaker 10: grants and interacting with people and that's beautiful. And a
Speaker 10: lot of it's focused here Manchester, so I can walk
Speaker 10: or bike to get there, keeping everything as safe as possible,
Speaker 10: so you know, food for thought out there, bike lanes
Speaker 10: are an accessibility device, basically infrastructure, because then I can
Speaker 10: bike and it keeps everyone safe and me safe. And
Speaker 10: then I've got a number of neuralgias where they cause pain.
Speaker 10: My hardest one has been pudental neuralgia, but that's been
Speaker 10: well treated over the last couple of years. But I
Speaker 10: seem to have developed two more, one in my neck
Speaker 10: and one in my lower back that I'm going to
Speaker 10: see a new neurologist for at the end of the month.
Speaker 10: But we also discovered that my digestion. I haven't been
Speaker 10: able to digest fat my whole life, So now I've
Speaker 10: got great new big Horse pills to take for that.
Speaker 10: But it's great so I can eat out. So my
Speaker 10: life is really like overall, like if the last time
Speaker 10: we talked, if you had asked me like, how are
Speaker 10: you doing, I would have been like, oh, I'm a
Speaker 10: sick person, but I'm fighting it. And now I feel
Speaker 10: like I've hit this equo librium that is doable, and
Speaker 10: it changes from day to day. Holy and I fully
Speaker 10: admit I took yesterday off and went to the beach,
Speaker 10: so that's probably contributing to my really.
Speaker 9: Great feeling today. You have to take rest days.
Speaker 10: But I couldn't go in the water above my waist
Speaker 10: because of my new lower back thing. So I'm you know,
Speaker 10: that's sad. And I can't stand up patta board right
Speaker 10: now because I'm not allowed to twist. Really, but I'm
Speaker 10: so in order to stay functional, like at least appearing,
Speaker 10: I have to do a lot of physical therapy. So
Speaker 10: like I work with a physical therapist outside the insurance
Speaker 10: companies because they don't want to pay for all the
Speaker 10: visits I actually need, and I pay her monthly and
Speaker 10: she gives me workouts and I do them. So I
Speaker 10: work out like an hour to two hours most days,
Speaker 10: and it's I love it. I love that I can
Speaker 10: do that, like I'm at a place in my life,
Speaker 10: but it does it means I have to focus on
Speaker 10: my body like time is more than other people. But
Speaker 10: ultimately I'm in a good spot.
Speaker 8: Good.
Speaker 9: Thanks for asking.
Speaker 10: It's nice that I get to say that this time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, isn't it? And this was all, by the way,
Speaker 8: So this was all the result of COVID.
Speaker 10: Oh, not a result. COVID had an effect. It did
Speaker 10: affect my heart, so I lost the ability to walk
Speaker 10: because I ran a triathlon and it turns out a
Speaker 10: tenon in my leg was turning the bone, which is
Speaker 10: not supposed to happen, and they had to remove that.
Speaker 10: And then so the amount of time that I was
Speaker 10: immobilized before the surgery and then trying to relearn to
Speaker 10: walk was caused all that. And then so the narcolepsy
Speaker 10: or the idiopathic hypersomnia I ate. Narclepsy is like the
Speaker 10: coverall term. It's a form of that. I got started
Speaker 10: beting diagnosed in like my late twenties, but I'd probably
Speaker 10: been suffering through it all through college. Like I was
Speaker 10: a regular ten hour a day sleeper in college. I
Speaker 10: never pulled all nighters, very regimented schedules so that I
Speaker 10: could function. And I do have like a little bit
Speaker 10: of challenge with my heart COVID. It just doesn't respond
Speaker 10: the way it should during exercise. Okay, but my physical
Speaker 10: therapist gives me exercises. It's like this, really like I've
Speaker 10: always been like a battler of exercise, Like give me
Speaker 10: the bike and let me go up the hill as
Speaker 10: hard as I can. Yeah, but you know she's focused
Speaker 10: way more on this gentle stuff that's hopefully just gonna
Speaker 10: try to heal the blood vessels and the heart from
Speaker 10: all that, and it may be something that I have
Speaker 10: for the rest of my life, but I'll continue fighting
Speaker 10: it because I want to be a healthy eighty year old.
Speaker 8: Yeah of course. Yeah. Wow, Well, I'm glad you're doing
Speaker 8: so much better though. That's excellent. Do you now do
Speaker 8: you have more art shows planned after this one?
Speaker 10: I'm gonna look at talking. I haven't done this yet,
Speaker 10: so I'll reach out. But the Manchester Arts Commission usually
Speaker 10: allows artwork to be displayed at City Hall, and so
Speaker 10: for the show in Nashville, I had to purchase insurance
Speaker 10: for my artwork, so I figure while I have the insurance,
Speaker 10: i'll do it there as well. These places city places
Speaker 10: don't have the insurance like a gallery does, Okay, so,
Speaker 10: and I want to protect my work, so I think
Speaker 10: I'll try to reach out and try to do a
Speaker 10: show at City Hall. Okay, But I don't have any
Speaker 10: shows after that plan. But if you're looking for more shows,
Speaker 10: I always recommend checking out Positive Street Art and Mosaic
Speaker 10: Art Collective because they're always doing fantastic things. I just yeah,
Speaker 10: I love everything they're doing.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, Jenny's had her art at Mosaic and also
Speaker 8: at Terminus Underground in Nashua.
Speaker 9: Fantastic.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, absolutely absolutely. I didn't know insurance. I didn't
Speaker 8: know that was a thing for I guess it makes sense.
Speaker 10: So when all of your life's artwork is all at
Speaker 10: one room that so many people have access to, I'm
Speaker 10: not leaving it on insurance.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 10: Like it's it's like I would, I will part with
Speaker 10: just about all of it for a certain price.
Speaker 8: But right right, yeah.
Speaker 10: But at the same time, it's it is my creation
Speaker 10: and I don't have children, So I guess that's it.
Speaker 8: Oh, there you go, there you go, very good. So
Speaker 8: now where should people go online to I assume I mean,
Speaker 8: obviously you want people to go to the show on
Speaker 8: the fourteenth, please do Also, I mean, is there art online?
Speaker 8: I assume I assume it is.
Speaker 10: Yeah, my my website bioside Creative so b io s
Speaker 10: ci creative dot com has has all the artwork there,
Speaker 10: and you can even purchase any of it that you want,
Speaker 10: including the stickers or prints or the whole on art
Speaker 10: if you're that kind of wealthy.
Speaker 9: I'm not.
Speaker 10: I'm not wealthy enough to purchase my own art. That's Okay,
Speaker 10: it took so much time for those expensive pieces. But
Speaker 10: and then you can also follow me on Instagram and
Speaker 10: that's the same bioside creative. And the library has on
Speaker 10: their events page the details of the event posted and
Speaker 10: and do come and let me know you're coming because
Speaker 10: we're getting cake. So I'm trying to cake for everyone.
Speaker 8: Nice. By the way, is there anyone else you've met
Speaker 8: or connected with who uses that term biomedical art?
Speaker 10: So the so medical illustration is the old school word
Speaker 10: for it, and the degree program I was in at
Speaker 10: the Cleveland Institute of Art decided to expand it because
Speaker 10: that was a.
Speaker 9: Little old school, okay, and.
Speaker 10: Biomedical artists do a lot more like I ended up
Speaker 10: through concentrating on different things with like a minor in
Speaker 10: technology integrated media, so like video editing, robotics and programming,
Speaker 10: web development, that kind of thing I ended up with,
Speaker 10: and that's still biomedical art and still used, like, oh,
Speaker 10: it's very relevant. Of course, three D modeling and animation
Speaker 10: is huge in that field because it's used a lot
Speaker 10: in that degree program changed their name to be a
Speaker 10: little more modern, but you can think, you know, time
Speaker 10: goes back to like Leonardo da Vinci Alberch, Duerr Gray
Speaker 10: of course, of Grey's Anatomy, not the television show Netter.
Speaker 10: These are all people, famous people. But if you open
Speaker 10: up any science book that you get in you know,
Speaker 10: elementary school, high school, college, and there's drawings in it.
Speaker 9: Someone had to do those.
Speaker 10: So that's like the old school, low paid aspect of
Speaker 10: the job. But eventually if you start working with startups
Speaker 10: and education materials. My favorite is taking like ideas from
Speaker 10: a physician and putting it in a way that everyone
Speaker 10: else can understand. It really is like a science communication
Speaker 10: field where through my drawings and maybe even my writings
Speaker 10: now at this point, because I've gotten better at writing,
Speaker 10: I can communicate this idea from the idea originator, you know,
Speaker 10: a doctor with a new procedure to other people either
Speaker 10: in their field that need to learn it or to
Speaker 10: a patient who needs to understand what's going on.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, now that's interesting to me because I didn't
Speaker 8: know you know that term biomedical art. I didn't know
Speaker 8: if that was something that a term that you had
Speaker 8: come up with specifically for what you do, or if
Speaker 8: this was a broader thing. But apparently it is.
Speaker 14: It is.
Speaker 10: Yeah, si art is the other one. Yeah, okay, it's
Speaker 10: a hashtag. I think there's a thing on Sundays or something.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh, okay, okay. And by the way, do you
Speaker 8: hear from people who've if people reached out to you,
Speaker 8: either who who've gone and seen in person in Nashua
Speaker 8: or maybe just looked online and have said, you know this,
Speaker 8: you know I can relate to this.
Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of people have said it, And even
Speaker 10: one comment was, you know, just getting to know you
Speaker 10: better because there is you know, writing in those some
Speaker 10: of those pieces that talks about medical stuff that may
Speaker 10: not come up in everyday conversation. I'm fully willing to
Speaker 10: talk about it, but I don't want to know down
Speaker 10: everyone on your medical stuff all the time. But it's
Speaker 10: there if they want to read it. And people reach
Speaker 10: out and said, you know, it's really great to know
Speaker 10: these things about you, And then you know others have
Speaker 10: reached out and been like, you know, you're talking about
Speaker 10: this gravel to have a gravel piece that talks about
Speaker 10: how hard it was to get to a restaurant because
Speaker 10: they said their space was accessible, but it was gravel
Speaker 10: and I was in a wheelchair so I couldn't get there.
Speaker 10: So I had to be transported by another individual, and
Speaker 10: she came up to me and was like, this is
Speaker 10: like so exactly what I'm experiencing, like going to the beach,
Speaker 10: trying to walk on the beach, and I remember that too.
Speaker 10: I had friends that helped me get to the water
Speaker 10: because it's so rejuvenating for me. And you don't know
Speaker 10: until you've experienced just how hard that is.
Speaker 12: The aspect of your own independence and freedom is huge.
Speaker 12: I have problems with my vision, amongst other things. As
Speaker 12: you know, I get transportation assistant sometimes through volunteers, through
Speaker 12: new futures in sight and to be able to make
Speaker 12: an arrangement to go to my appointment or to have
Speaker 12: a test on and not have to ask a friend
Speaker 12: or look for a favor, but it's an actual volunteer
Speaker 12: who wants to do this, and I get to make
Speaker 12: the arrangement on my own, And that titch of independence
Speaker 12: is so huge, and it's given me back a little
Speaker 12: bit of dignity that I didn't have prior to having
Speaker 12: access to transportation assistance. And you may not think about that,
Speaker 12: but if you're somebody that maybe has a little time
Speaker 12: during the day, if you help somebody get to a
Speaker 12: doctor's appointment or get to a place to pick up
Speaker 12: their prescription. Even that is so huge for that individual
Speaker 12: to feel strong in self and not feel like a
Speaker 12: burden or a problem or the constant oh God, don't
Speaker 12: answer the phone me to ry That is like the
Speaker 12: worst thing in the world is losing your ability to
Speaker 12: transport yourself.
Speaker 10: Yes, And I can relate so much because before this
Speaker 10: current med that I'm on for my sleep challenges, I needed.
Speaker 10: If I was an evening event, I always needed to
Speaker 10: go with a friend because I was driving home. It
Speaker 10: just I wasn't willing to risk it. I've never had
Speaker 10: an accent because of it, but I'm not willing to
Speaker 10: hurt someone else because of my own hurts. Right, and
Speaker 10: now with this met I'm a lot more comfortable, you know,
Speaker 10: being able to like and so much and small business
Speaker 10: happens at these evenings of events, you know, just networking
Speaker 10: and connecting, and it was really hampering my growth. And
Speaker 10: now that I can do this, we've exploded in our
Speaker 10: connections with other nonprofits.
Speaker 12: And especially when you have a disability or something that's
Speaker 12: going on, the end of the day is like the
Speaker 12: worst because you don't know what you got.
Speaker 8: You don't know what you got left.
Speaker 12: You know, you've tried to space out your time and like,
Speaker 12: I'm well, they're gonna use one spoon. I'm saving some
Speaker 12: for later. And then you get to that end of
Speaker 12: the day. It's so hard and you have to push
Speaker 12: through and it's I love everything that you are doing.
Speaker 8: What you're doing.
Speaker 12: For people like myself, disabled people and people who want
Speaker 12: to be expressive, people who want to experience life on
Speaker 12: their own terms. You give them that and that is
Speaker 12: such a huge thing.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 12: You don't really it's so you know, it's one of
Speaker 12: those things that it really stinks, but I can't explain
Speaker 12: to you what it feels like unless you've lived it,
Speaker 12: and I hope to. Like, heck, you never live ever.
Speaker 12: You don't want anybody else in your shoes. But if
Speaker 12: that little bit of monoicum of understanding comes out of anything,
Speaker 12: it is such a big deal for everybody in our
Speaker 12: community and right, and isn't that like most It's one
Speaker 12: thing I love about New Hampshire and the City of
Speaker 12: Manchester is there's a lot of community here. There's a
Speaker 12: lot of people that you put these few people in
Speaker 12: a room together and it's amazing what can explode for kiddos,
Speaker 12: for people to disability, just for average anybody, you know,
Speaker 12: just to have somebody of that in the community that
Speaker 12: smiles and says, hey, you exist and I really care
Speaker 12: about you. It's something that I think is kind of
Speaker 12: unique around here.
Speaker 10: We're still small enough that those individual meetings, groups of
Speaker 10: people can get together and make a difference. And I'm
Speaker 10: seeing it now on Pine Street right they're repaving it
Speaker 10: and they're redoing the curb cuts. I don't know if
Speaker 10: you've noticed, but those curb cuts, the tactile stripping has
Speaker 10: been falling apart because they chose to try plastic product
Speaker 10: and it didn't work. So they're redoing all those curb cuts.
Speaker 10: And they're going to put that bike lane on Pine Street,
Speaker 10: which is fantastic. That will make me getting around because
Speaker 10: I live just off of Pine Street so much easier.
Speaker 9: So's there's other.
Speaker 10: Things like if driving isn't your thing, if you're like antisocial,
Speaker 10: like I get it. I sometimes then if getting to
Speaker 10: know someone new is hard, you know, using that click
Speaker 10: fix on Manchester to point out like a curb cut
Speaker 10: that has broken so someone using a stroller or a
Speaker 10: wheelchair can't get up or down.
Speaker 9: It can be a.
Speaker 10: Huge thing that the city knows where those things are
Speaker 10: to repair them, or that the tactile strips for people
Speaker 10: vision challenges, you know, if they're disappearing, then they may
Speaker 10: cross it wrong spot and get hurt, and we don't
Speaker 10: want that. So noting where sidewalks are because sidewalks are
Speaker 10: a big part of independence for people who are mobile
Speaker 10: but have other disabilities for getting around the city.
Speaker 12: Especially with folks who are in wheelchairs, because you cannot
Speaker 12: bounce a wheelchair up a curve. It hurts and you cannot.
Speaker 12: And that's a huge one if I ask of anybody
Speaker 12: of anything in this city. My biggest pet peeve is
Speaker 12: people who park in handicapped spaces are on the lines.
Speaker 12: Oh but I'm just getting I'm just getting my dinner. Yeah,
Speaker 12: but the person in the wheelchair can't get out of
Speaker 12: their car now because you're parked on the lines. And
Speaker 12: maybe that person was going to go to an event
Speaker 12: downtown right like local Racks or whatever, and now they
Speaker 12: can't get out of their car to go because you've
Speaker 12: parked your car on the lines just because you need
Speaker 12: a minute.
Speaker 8: Don't do it.
Speaker 12: Please stop doing.
Speaker 8: See that A lot on Elm Street.
Speaker 10: Or parking on the sidewalks. Our sidewalks aren't designed for
Speaker 10: the weight of your vehicle, and it destroys them. And
Speaker 10: we don't have the budgets to keep repairing sidewalks caused
Speaker 10: by vehicular unplanned travel. Right, there were a number of
Speaker 10: businesses around Manchester that while I was using an accessibility
Speaker 10: placard and unable to walk, that I would you know,
Speaker 10: I see it. I see it, the people parking in
Speaker 10: the spots without tags, and I would I would go
Speaker 10: to do my grocery shopping. Now I couldn'tunload the car,
Speaker 10: but I could get the groceries, and if I timed
Speaker 10: it just right, my husband could bring them in right
Speaker 10: and then, and so I would still contributing to the family,
Speaker 10: which I wanted to do, right And I would go,
Speaker 10: I'd get and I couldn't find a parking spot because
Speaker 10: they were full of people without hangtags. And I went
Speaker 10: into some of these places and said, you know that
Speaker 10: this is happening, and they're like, oh, that's not a
Speaker 10: priority for us, right right, like talk about sending me
Speaker 10: home crying that way, Like okay, so grocery can't get done, honey, Sorry.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I can't get milk, can't get eggs, can't get bread.
Speaker 12: It's that serious, right, It's that significant to be able
Speaker 12: to have food in your home, you have to be
Speaker 12: able to get out of the car and back into
Speaker 12: it safely with everything that you need. So those spots
Speaker 12: are really a big deal. It's not a convenience thing
Speaker 12: or I'm just running in. This is about somebody being
Speaker 12: able to live their life to the fullest in our
Speaker 12: city and enjoy everything our city has to offer and
Speaker 12: get the basics stuff. Yeah, well most important.
Speaker 10: And I'll mention it, you know, the door dash drivers
Speaker 10: and things. Parking, Yes, spots downtown. I hate that in
Speaker 10: the restaurants.
Speaker 12: Especially on Elm Street.
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, stop doing it. Don't be so lazy,
Speaker 10: all right, And you can always call parking. Manchester Parking
Speaker 10: Apparently they say they like those tickets because they're more
Speaker 10: expensive tickets.
Speaker 12: Yeah, they keep raising it, but people still doing it.
Speaker 12: I think somewhere around five hundred, I think.
Speaker 10: I yeah, but you can call parking. You know that
Speaker 10: that helps a person out too.
Speaker 12: I did once have that happen on Elm Street, and
Speaker 12: it was a glorious day because there's never usually somebody
Speaker 12: around when you Yeah, and somebody literally pulled in in
Speaker 12: front of me and I'm telling this person get out. Yeah,
Speaker 12: you're stopping somebody from Like this is a big deal.
Speaker 12: You can't block the way to get onto the curve, no,
Speaker 12: Like the curb cutouts you're talking about are essential for
Speaker 12: people to be able to actually get onto the sidewalk
Speaker 12: or they are stuck in the street.
Speaker 10: And you don't want to be stuck in the street
Speaker 10: when you're seated below eye level, right, or if.
Speaker 12: You're using a navigational cane. Oh yeah, I have death
Speaker 12: procession issues in certain situations I need to I don't
Speaker 12: want to be in the street. That's like the worst
Speaker 12: place in the world to me, because they're more likely
Speaker 12: to be pitfalls, you know, to fall into and then
Speaker 12: you get a new injury and a new issue, a
Speaker 12: new problem.
Speaker 10: That's definitely happened to me too. Yes, And it's not
Speaker 10: just people with disabilities that benefit from these things too,
Speaker 10: like moms and dads with strollers, that's a big thing.
Speaker 10: Little dogs that have trouble jumping up the curve. Those
Speaker 10: little dogs are benefiting too. Like, you know, I say
Speaker 10: this jokingly, but there's a lot of benefit to those
Speaker 10: infrastructure plans that we have, and we we need to
Speaker 10: respect them so that the whole world is a better place.
Speaker 12: And if you want people to be involved in the
Speaker 12: world around you, you have to make it accessible. Yeahred percent,
Speaker 12: I love how you use your artwork. I really love
Speaker 12: how you use your artwork to express the importance of
Speaker 12: these things, but in the most creative ways. And it's
Speaker 12: interesting to hear you talk about the anatomy and the
Speaker 12: art of the anatomy, right, because I never thought about
Speaker 12: that would go to school, Like I never thought about
Speaker 12: my anatomy book.
Speaker 9: Who threw this stuff? Someone?
Speaker 12: Somebody did do this stuff. But I have a friend,
Speaker 12: Megan Bent, who's an artist that does chlorophyll work on
Speaker 12: leaves where you she's imprinting imagery onto the leaf and
Speaker 12: she's done things like with spines and things like that.
Speaker 8: I think you totally like, ve.
Speaker 9: Got to check that out. I don't know anything about her.
Speaker 12: When you were talking. That's I was thinking about that.
Speaker 12: I like, you have to know this person. You have
Speaker 12: to meet this artist. She's an amazing artist, amazing activist,
Speaker 12: very much in the fight to make sure people have
