On this week’s episode my guest is Bay Area Artist Lena Gustafson whose work ranges from prints & art books to paintings & murals. All of which utilize beautiful bright colors and the female form. With her partner Peter Calderwood, she also co-owns Night Diver Press where they publish prints, books, zines, and monotypes. Today you’ll hear her talk about her art practice and how it has progressed as well as the work she does with Night Diver Press. In addition, we discussed her move to the east coast for school and the time she spent as a gardener on Martha’s Vineyard.
