In this episode, Erika explores how observation, travel, and memory shape artistic practice, inspired by her upcoming class in Italy, The Symbolic Landscape. Drawing from Corot's plein air studies and Goethe's Italian Journey, she reflects on how artists discover themselves through what they see—whether in a distant landscape or a simple daily moment. The episode invites listeners to make space for beauty and reflection, wherever they are, and to see art as both a return to the world and a way to transcend it. <a class="c-link" href= "https://www.umbriacontemporaryarts.com/product-page/the-symbolic-landscape-instructor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link= "https://www.umbriacontemporaryarts.com/product-page/the-symbolic-landscape-instructor" data-sk="tooltip_parent">The Symbolic Landscape- Class in Italy</a> Dates: May 10 - May 24 <ul class= "p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__bullet p-rich_text_list--nested" data-stringify-type="unordered-list" data-list-tree="true" data-indent="0" data-border="0"> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">Early Registration Discount: A 20% discount applies if Payment In Full is made before December 2nd, 2025.</li> </ul> I Like Your Work Links: Thank you to our sponsor, Sunlight Tax.
