Interview with Katie Carter

January 8th, 2020

“Sometimes guests get emotional while sharing about their art…they bare their souls as they discuss their art! It’s powerful to go there…But…I have never been brought to tears interviewing an artist…until Blair. And this interview gets me every time…what a privilege to be part of it. The world needs more Blairs in it. It just does.”

Katie Carter simply brought out the very best in me in this interview, and allowed me to be vulnerable and honest about what it is I’m saying with my work and what it means to me. I can’t thank her enough for that. I’m so blessed to have connected with her, to do this work, and to be able to share it with all of you. I never thought I’d be able to talk about my creations. I couldn’t conceive of how to conceptualize my experience with words. I really thought I’d never be able to do it. And that if I did, people just wouldn’t understand. Something magical happened in the recording studio that morning. I somehow managed to articulate with confidence, with words not only that I am on a journey but what it looks like, and what it feels like for me in an easily accessible way. I listen to this and I think, how did I do that? This interview has meant so much more to me than simply good publicity. It’s one of the best, if not the best conversation I’ve had about my art so far, as well as my lived experience my art celebrates. Thank you Katie…with absolute sincerity. And thank you to everyone who took the time to “tune in” to this experience with us.
