Makers in Business Season 2 Episode 1 - Marilyn Rosenfeld Part 1

Mom and me at the TV station right after taping
I am so excited to show you this latest episode! I can't believe I convinced my MOM to come with me to the TV station and be taped in an interview! She has led such an interesting life, we had so much to talk about that it took TWO episodes to contain it :) Here you will find Part 1 of our discussion. Next month I'll post Part 2.

This episode covers her early experiences with art and art teachers, including her father who was a sign painter in rural Indiana in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. It covers her first coloring book, her years of oil painting all the way through to learning watercolor in the 1980s.

I had a tremendous amount of fun producing this interview and I hope you enjoy watching/listening to it.

    I really enjoyed this episode. Your mother's artwork is beautiful and I love the relationship you have with each other. Very interesting and made me really think about the relationship artist have with their artwork. I liked it that your mom didn't like to sell her original work. Thank you both.
