I Know Strange People
Ever see someone who has paint on their pants, tattoo sleeves, an asymmetrical haircut, and someone exclaims that guy/girl must be an artist? These are not the creatives I seek out to interview. There’s a romantic notion that artists need to be eccentric, but the real oddities usually happen behind closed doors. Explore the unconventional in the creative process through interviews with artists, and other creative types with host and artist Jeffrey Morabito.

Episode 17
Painter Rodney Dickson comes from humble beginnings in a small town in Northern Ireland. Being an artist has led him many places around the world but has predominantly lived in NYC since the 90's. A student of Mike Knowles who himself is a student of Frank Auerbach (all three still correspond), Rodney is part of a lineage of thick impasto painters while still exploring new possibilities.
