This week, Caleb Burgess sits down for the podcast to talk about his large-scale work in acrylic and oil. The Tulsa native opens up about why he doesn't find risks in painting large and how he achieves the sweeping gestural marks that his work is known for. He also talks about finding the balance between self-care and the long hours needed to build and maintain an art business.
