In 2015, Craft & Vision founder David duChemin invited me to host a short-run podcast. Across 12 episodes, I spoke with photographers who were each, in their own way, exploring what it means to see more clearly, create more intentionally, and develop a voice of their own.

For years Valda Bailey was a painter before discovering that she was able to do with a camera what she says she couldn't do with a paintbrush. Her gorgeous work is rich with color and texture, influenced by painters like Helen Frankenthaler and Paul Klee and photographers like Jay Maisel and Chris Friel. We talk about how she approaches her beautiful multiple exposure work, where she finds inspiration and a fascinating creative collaboration.
