In this episode, Kerry and Steve sit down in the studio with Watercolor Artist extraordinaire Herb Willey. Herb shares his experience as a representational artist and we learn how he became internationally famous. Following a career in industrial design and a fascination with automobiles, Willey has fully immersed himself in his painting for the last 8 years, experiencing a personal transformation. He also shares a healthy dose of cynicism of the art industry.
Then Steve goes on location for Second Saturday at the venerable Gallery 220, where we caught up wit Herb’s wife Serena. Serena, Herb’s biggest fan, subject matter expert and social media marketer has pushed Herb to new levels of craftsmanship and acclaim.
In the second half, Kerry takes a short trip up Rt. 603 to the new location of the Starfish Café, her favorite restaurant just about anywhere. Kerry has a chance to learn the Starfish story from Di Fillhaurt. Di, a retired NICU nurse and lifelong street minister was brought to the Bay to do relief work in the wake of Katrina. Di tells us all about the new Starfish and it’s non-profit roots with Pneuma-Winds of Hope. Di’s youngest son Zachary runs the kitchen using whole foods and local ingredients. Zach’s been cooking with DI since a young child, but earned his kitchen cred from a Greek grandmother. Di tells a compelling story of the sorrow of COVID, the importance of vaccines and a message of hope.
