Season 1 Episode 1
James Threalkill
Nashville native James Threalkill is a painter whose artwork celebrates acclamation for life well lived. The vibrant palette, gamut of texture, and subtle abstraction that he exhibits in his paintings exude a feeling of vigor, entice a sense of spontaneity, explore resonance within a still image. Such artistic practice characterizes a style of work described as Expressive Realism, an area of painting that teases the tension between figurative and nonrepresentational art. Because of this, Threalkill’s work demonstrates harmony with the subjects he frequently depicts: jazz musicians entranced in moments of lyrical spontaneity.
Threalkill’s endeavors have received national recognition. Collaborating with artist Michael McBride and Metro Nashville school teachers Gracie Porter, Claudette Mitchell and Patricia Cousins, they developed a groundbreaking children's book series titled Visions: African American Experiences, which was featured on the television program "Sesame Street." Threalkill's artwork has also been featured in international films and television series including "Snow Dogs" with Cuba Good, Jr. and James Coburn, "The Jamie Foxx Show" and "Living Single." Threalkill continues to reside in Nashville. by ABC Nashville

Sarah Bogdel
Sarah is employed at a modest art supply store nestled in Nashville, Tennessee, yet she indulges in her passion for printmaking during her evenings and weekends. Her creative spirit finds its muse in two remarkable sources: the linoleum block and the trusty carving knife. Each block presents a unique enigma to be unraveled—a captivating puzzle demanding Sarah's artistic ingenuity. How can she capture the ethereal transparency of delicate drapes adorning a window, while also portraying the world that lies beyond? How might she fashion a lush expanse of thick grass teeming with hidden creatures? Paradoxically, Sarah perceives the carving knife as both a constraint and a catalyst, a force that compels her to explore uncharted realms of imagery, surpassing the confines of traditional pencil or paint. Within the realm of printmaking, the process itself reigns supreme, holding precedence over the final artwork. Although Sarah aspires for viewers to relish the complete print, her ultimate goal is to enchant them with every stroke, squiggle, line, and curve—just as she finds joy in them herself.
