  Rebecca West: Executive Director & CEO, Buffalo Bill Center of the West - Epi 413, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 16.09.2026 1ч 1мин

  I had Rebecca West on the podcast today and she is the Executive Director and CEO of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. She's just such a lovely person. I really enjoyed speaking to her and learning about how she became the Director. the story is really quite amazing because she's been at the museum for like 34 years. She started there doing an internship, working on the catalog raisonné of western art icon Frederic Remington. She worked her way through the organization for something like ...

  Nogi San: Illustrator/Cover Artist (Marvel, DC, Boom) - Epi. 412, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 09.09.2026 1ч 14мин

  One of the wonderful things about having your own podcast and determining who you want to interview is that you can just do whatever and follow your curiosity. In this case, I had the opportunity to sit down with Nogi San. She's a fantastic artist who does a plethora of things but is most well known for her comic book covers. I've always loved comics. As a kid, I collected a ton of them. I collected them to see the artwork mostly. I always loved the art component of comic books and still had ...

  Marcus Amerman (Choctaw): Multimedia Artist - Epi. 411, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 02.09.2026 59мин

  I had artist Marcus Amerman on today. He's a really interesting guy. He's somebody that we actually represent and is collected by museums around the world. Marcus is just this guy who can do all sorts of things. He's a true multimedia artist in that he's done fashion, he's done paintings, glasswork, and he's currently doing assemblage pieces that are made out of old hubcaps. What he's best known for though, is his beadwork, or photobeadilism as he calls it. In the 80s he was doing...

  Firing Pottery: The Youngblood/Lugo/Tafoya Family of Santa Clara Potters - Epi. 410 Hosted by Dr. Mark Sublette 26.08.2026 2ч 22мин

  ***The Youtube version of this podcast is recommended due to the visual nature of the recording.*** I think one of the greatest and sacred things that you can experience is the firing of Pueblo pottery and I was very fortunate to be able to witness a firing right before the 2026 Santa Fe Indian Market. It was a very famous family of pottery makers too. The family includes Christopher Youngblood, Joseph Youngblood, and Sergio Lugo (who ends up winning Best of Show just a few days after ...

  This was the 104th Santa Fe Indian Market and SWAIA has been putting on a ceremony for the Best of Show Award since 1977. It's always incredibly exciting and quite honestly, emotional to watch and be a part of this ceremony because the individuals that win are so grateful and, more often than not, surprised that they were selected as the best in their classification, the very best of what they do, whether it would be beadwork, kachinas, pottery, 2D media, all those things are judged. The arti...

  In this episode of the podcast, I am joined by the brilliant contemporary American visual artist Eric White. We spoke for over 3 hours, so the interview is going to be cut into two parts. This is part two. Eric is widely celebrated today for his intricate, cinematic paintings that effortlessly blur the lines between reality and surrealism. In our conversation, Eric takes me back to his early days as an artist. He sheds light on his formative experiences, the pivotal moments in his schooling ...

  Maynard Dixon & Ed Mell: Icons of the West, Lecture by Dr. Mark Sublette at Scottsdale Art Week - Epi. 406 29.07.2026 43мин

  This episode is a recording of a lecture I gave at the 2026 Scottsdale Art Week event where I talked about a recent book I published and the exhibit that I curated, both titled "Ed Mell & Maynard Dixon: Icons of the West." This was a project of mine where I compared and contrasted the lives of artists Ed Mell and Maynard Dixon in a way that was interesting to me, because I had never really thought about that comparison in such a granular form. You see, I had done a show featuring Ed's wor...

  Brad Kahlhamer: Inside the Artist's Studio - Epi. 405, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 22.07.2026 50мин

  I had Brad Kahlhamer on today and it was fantastic. I went to his studio in the Lower East Side of New York City, and he's got this really interesting place where he creates his monumental works of art. It's in the heart of the city and you're near Bowery St. and it's crazy. You know, frantic activity, a lot of murals, there's just so much energy. We start outside then we go into this building and downstairs into a place of artistry. We show all of this in the YouTube version, we show the ent...

  Gloria Martinez-Granados: Interdisciplinary Artist - Epi. 404, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 15.07.2026 1ч 11мин

  I had Gloria Martinez-Granados on the show today. I was fortunate to meet her at Earth Maker Gallery, which is Thomas "Breeze" Marcus's Gallery in Phoenix, and get the chance to talk to her. I was just fascinated with how she makes her art, the intensity she works with, and the time it takes. One of the pieces that she did took over 210 days and it was made of 48,900 individual stitches. As you can imagine it's a very labor intensive undertaking. As interesting as her art is, she is equal...

  Daniel "Uncle Danny" Akaka: Cultural Ambassador & Kahu Hānai at Mauna Lani - Epi. 403, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 08.07.2026 49мин

  This podcast with Daniel Akaka, Jr. (or Uncle Danny) is an audio only podcast, but the video version shows the footage I recorded at the King Kamehameha the Great Celebration, which is on June 11th every year in Hawaii. So if you watch it on YouTube, you can see this special event that consists of dancing, music, the decorating of the King Kamehameha statue with hand-made leis, a parade, and all of the other activities that went on in that very special day. Danny Akaka ,Jr. is just one of the...

  Exploring the Cultural Institutions of Manaus, Brazil - Epi. 402, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 01.07.2026 1ч 21мин

  I went to Manaus, Brazil recently and I visited a lot of different places that tried to capture the sense of Manaus and the surrounding area. This included going to Museu Do Indio (Indigenous Museum) and the Palácio Rio Negro (Governors Palace). I also paid a visit to Teatro Amazonas, which is an insanely beautiful opera house that was built in 1897. One thing I did while I was in Manaus that was very special, was I got to see a ceremony performed by the Tuyuka Tribe. The tribe is known...

  Exploring the Amazon ft. Conservationist Michael Rich - Epi. 401, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 24.06.2026 29мин

  In this episode of the Art Dealer Diaries, I went down to the Amazon rainforest because I wanted to get to know more about the region and its biodiversity. While I was down there I went and visited with a man named Michael Rich. Now, Michael was down there to do some fishing and I joined him to be able to see the animals do some fishing myself. I was also as interested in just getting a sense of what it's like to be in the largest ecosystem in the world. And Michael is a very interest...

  David Griffin: Award-Winning Landscape Painter (Part 2) - Epi. 400, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 17.06.2026 54мин

  I had David Griffin on today and he's a unique individual in so many ways, not only as an artist but as a person as well. I'm fortunate to be able to represent David's work. I'm also fortunate to have gotten the time to talk to him and understand the path he took to get where he is today. His story starts in Lubbock, Texas, which is not an area known for its art production of artists, and coming from a family where father was actually a very sophisticated entrepreneur who came from not...

  Tour of the Historic Kolb Studio at Grand Canyon National Park - Epi. 398, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 03.06.2026 20мин

  I had the good fortune to go and interview the Grand Canyon Superintendent, Ed Keable, and at the time, I was also allowed to do a tour of the Kolb House. This is a very special place and the story is amazing. It really is a story made for a movie. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't been mad into one yet because it tells the story of these brothers that came to Arizona in 1901 and 1902, and they set up this photography studio, right on the edge of the Grand Canyon on the South Rim. It's s...

  Shonto Begay: Inside the Artist's Studio - Epi. 397, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 27.05.2026 35мин

  This is the kind of podcast I enjoy making the most. It's one of those in the perfect location that's just off the cuff. You see, I went to artist Shonto Begay's studio in Flagstaff. We were picking up some paintings, and it was just a great opportunity to spend some time with him talking about his work, his studio, and things that affect his life. It was actually a very moving interview, and I think you'll feel the same. Artist studios are sacred places. Shonto's studio is no different...

  Ed Keable: Superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park - Epi. 396, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 20.05.2026 1ч 11мин

  I had a very interesting conversation with Ed Keable, who's Superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park. The setting was unbelievable. We literally sat at the Kolb House overlooking the Grand Canyon. Ed was so fascinating though that I could really only focus on his story, and so the canyon just kind of melted away. He's has a very unique position with an immense amount of responsibility. He had a somewhat unexpected journey to get to be Superintendent because his training was as a lawyer. H...

  Wendie Martin: Publisher/Owner, International Artist Publishing - Epi. 395, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 13.05.2026 1ч 10мин

  I had Wendie Martin on my podcast today, and she's co-owner of International Artist Publishing along with Adolfo Castillo. That's the media group responsible for magazines such as Western Art Collector, Native American Art, American Art Collector, American Fine Art Magazine, and International Artist. So she's got her hands full. We talked about her magazines, sure, but we mostly spoke about the process of how she got where is she is today. When i do these podcasts I want to know h...

  Skip Andrews: Artist & Co-Founder of Sagebrush Studios w/Ed Mell (1942-2024) - Epi. 394, Host Dr. Mark Sublette 06.05.2026 56мин

  Sometimes you do podcasts not only because you're interested in the person, but you're also interested in just history, right? In this case, it's the history of Skip Andrews, his own personal journey as an artist, as well as his relationship with the iconic Arizona artist, Ed Mell. Skip and Ed were friends in high school and ended up working together in New York City in the late 60's and early 70's. They started a company together called Sagebrush Studios and did some really great work togeth...
