John Coleman: Western Sculptor & Painter - Epi. 127, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had John Coleman, a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, on
the podcast today. John is just such a deep, interesting human
being. John is one of the most successful artists of his
generation but believe it or not, he didn't start out as an
artist even though he knew he had this innate artistic talent
inside him. 

John had to go through finding that artistic voice, which isn't
an easy process. His earliest path was one of success as a
business person, but it just wasn't the type of fulfillment he
sought. Becoming a world-class sculptor and painter of Native
American subject matter involved triumph and failure of many
varieties, ultimately resulting in the man we get to hear from
today.

This podcast was an enlightening roadmap of perseverance. If
you're an artist who says to themselves: "I don't know... I want
to be an artist, but... do I have what it takes?" Well, maybe if
you listen to this podcast, you'll see what it took for John to
become the artist he is today. Quite frankly, it takes a lot of
effort, but more than effort,  it requires the emotional
investment to transform into that particular version of yourself.
John Coleman put it all together, and I'm glad he joined us to
tell his story.
