Artist Interview: Inga Dalrymple Revisited

Hey and welcome to ahtcast! 

 

This episode invites Sydney, Australia based artist Inga Dalrymple back to the podcast! 

 

Words of the day: Edges. Sensory. Rhythm. Intuitive. Painty. 

 

It has been nearly 10 years to the day since Inga last joined me to talk about her paintings. She had a lot to share about where her paintings have been over the years and, in my humble opinion, returning in force! 

 

And as always, I encourage listeners to visit the artists’ websites while listening and look along. Or visit ahtcast.com for images of the guest artist’s work. 

 

And one more tidbit, submitting 2 questions to the conversation was previous ahtcast guest Cologne based painter Sabine Tress, so be sure to listen for those. 

 

Welcome Inga Dalrymple back to the program…...listen in below!
