Art on the Air

Join Kate for an interview with Isaac McCaslin, a Savannah-based fine artist whose narrative-driven work explores the interplay of history, identity, and the human experience. With a B.F.A. in Painting from the Savannah College of Art & Design (Magna Cum Laude), McCaslin has received accolades at regional, national, and international levels.     McCaslin’s practice is rooted in Renaissance and Baroque techniques, reimagined through a contemporary lens. His oil paintings, often described as evocative and thought-provoking, navigate themes of mortality, memory, and the collective human psyche. His works have been exhibited in galleries, museums, and public spaces across the United States, earning places in private, corporate, and museum collections.   Isaac McCaslin was the Incubator Artist at ARTS Southeast for 2025, and part of Eastside 11 studio crawl & group show from past episodes. Join us as McCaslin talks about weekly Savannah Open Model sessions held at ARTS Southeast, how he illuminates figures from within, & his beloved & delicious pet goats/former models.      Check out Isaac's work and follow him here: https://www.isaacmccaslin.com/ https://www.instagram.com/isaacmccaslin   Learn more about Savannah Open Model sessions here: https://www.savannahopenmodel.com/

What heroic women are we related to? Imagine what wisdom we could gather. How interesting it would be to discover where we carry them within us in our attitudes, beliefs, and temperament.    These pieces are dedicated to that idea; to the mystical tea party we could have with all the women in our family tree, as well as wise women of the world who have passed. Our hope is that the viewer will discover stories of the ladies that loom in their own genealogy who add to their family folklore and wisdom. And to carry those gifts onward to our future grand and great granddaughters."     See more of Jamie's work here: https://www.instagram.com/jamieazevedoart/ https://jamieazevedo.artspan.com/home   See more of Lino's work here: https://www.instagram.com/azevedofineart https://www.azevedofineart.com    Learn more about CURE Childhood Cancer: https://curechildhoodcancer.org/about-cure/ https://www.instagram.com/curechildcancer/
