132. Mixed Media Artist Jeff Sedrel on Art's Efficacy and the Eternal Appeal of Flowers

Mixed media artist Jeff Sedrel has a series of floral paintings
in an exhibition at the Garden of the Zodiac Gallery through
January 29. He was a 2017 Fellow at the Union for Contemporary
Art under a collaborative multimedia project with Noah Sterba
called Slowed Soul. Sedrel was nominated for two Omaha
Entertainment and Arts Awards in 2020. His recent work has also
been featured at Project Project, Landlock Gallery and the
Michael Phipps Gallery, where he exhibited with Holly Kranker.
Today he and Tom Knoblauch discuss his process, the efficacy of
art in today's digital world, and why he felt compelled to focus
on flowers for his latest work.
