David Meikle: Utah Landscape Painter and Art Director - Epi. 128, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

David Meikle was my guest on the podcast today and I just have to
say that I love doing these interviews over a Zoom call.
Initially, I thought that the personal process of listing to
someone's life story was a process that I'd only want to do in
the studio. After recording a few of these long-distance Zoom
podcasts with artists in their studios, I've noticed that when
the person being interviewed is in a comfortable and familiar
setting they are much more relaxed and often get a better insight
into their art and life. Today, we get the pleasure of seeing
David's studio full of brand new paintings that are going to be
in his upcoming show Desert Elements at Medicine Man Gallery,
opening this December 4th.

David is a very interesting guy who had his own unique way to
achieve his goal as a fine art painter. He's is one of the great
Southwestern landscape painters working today with a unique route
coming from a design and illustration background and still works
at the University of Utah designing graphics such as the logo for
the 2020 Vice Presidential Debate. David is a very hard-working
artist and is an artist's artist. I think anyone who is trying to
make a living off of their talent and artwork will really enjoy
this episode and the possibilities that await if you put in the
time, effort, and emotional capital into becoming an artist.
