This special episode of TSBF features internationally acclaimed artist Tommy Simpson, whose award-winning work has been shown in more than 100 exhibitions in the U.S. and around the globe. Truly a national treasure, Tommy is that rarest of artists: He has worked in almost every artistic medium, including wood, sculpture, painting, prints, rugs, jewelry, and more. He’s also an accomplished writer and poet. In this wide-ranging interview, we talk about Tommy’s remarkable journey; the ways that fun, joy, and whimsy reflect and infuse his life and work; his wonderful views on creativity; and the meaningful and deeply satisfying life and career he has created across his 80+ years. He also shares his sage advice for anyone who would love to explore their world through creativity. Later in the interview, the talented artist Amy Firestone Rosen joins us for an informative Q&A with our in-person audience. This interview was originally videotaped live and in collaboration with Craft Alliance in Saint Louis, MO.
