Meet Multimedia Artist Quincy Owens
“My hobby is my passion and my passion is my hobby. I wake up to do my art every day.”
The Omnibus Show is a new podcast hosted by Dave Gibbs “for people who love interviews of interesting and accomplished people, and who are life learners.” Today’s episode of The Omnibus Show will feature multimedia artist, Quincy Owens.
This is a Podcast you won’t want to miss as Owens lets us into a more personal side to his art and why he wanted to become an artist in the first place. He is a Multimedia Artist doing commissions, corporate, public art, residential, and more. He is also a partner with Owens and Crawley, alongside Luke Crawley, a math and science teacher at University High School, with whom he does multimedia art.
Owens had humble beginnings, growing up in rural Indiana, then going on for a bachelor’s degree in fine arts at the University of Indianapolis. Learn how he began his career in ceramics, and how his five children ‘helped him’ to change direction. Hear about the homage he paid his father through art.
Owens discusses his TEDx talk that he gave at Indiana University.
Owens explains feelings as he searched for his ‘place’ in the art world, which let him to switch to a kind of art called monoprinting. He states, he is a ‘painter without a brush’. This form of tactile art has helped him develop into the artist he is today.
Owens reflects on his influences, his art process, and his productivity.
