In this week’s episode, Ximena hosts visual artist Debra Goldman. We discuss the story of her inner landscape and how it has been shaped and informed by her relationship to nature, place, and the horizon line. Our inner landscapes continue to evolve and alter themselves by our connection to land. Debra has been a practicing visual artist for over thirty five years. Making a home in Iowa, New York, Colorado and for the past eighteen years in Washington state, has deeply informed her relationship to ‘place’ and to the symbolic language that she used in her creative work. She raised her two children on a small, organic farm in Whatcom County and has taught in Universities in three different regions of the country. Thirty years after completing her MFA from Pratt Institute, she returned to graduate school to immerse herself in the vast terrain of depth psychology. It was during this intensive study that the roots of her earliest influences became conscious to her. The evolution of her inner landscape is ongoing and has been richly informed by all of these experiences. She continues to explore how to engage in the story of these times we are living.
