SOPHIA KAYAFAS

For about two years, I acted as a podcast host, a producer, writer, and part-time editor for a well known podcast in the New York Figurative Art scene, The Art Grind Podcast. The show was created by Dina Brodsky in 2018. I was honored to work on the Art Grind through seasons 3, 4, and 5, conducting in depth conversational interviews with fellow co-host, Marshall Jones, from 2020 to 2022.
This platform gave me the opportunity to gather personal wisdom and insights from some incredible contemporary artists and inspirations such as  Philip Pearlstein, Ali Banisadr Kyle Staver, Aleah Chapin, Nicholas Holliber, Bernardo Siciliano, Ken Johnson, Zoey Frank and Hillary Harkness.
 

In the summer of the 2020 pandemic, I acted as an interviewing host  for six episodes of a TV Documentary with All Arts on PBS. The show was called Flowstate, North Brooklyn Artists, directed and produced by Minos Pappas and Liz Sargent. Below, is an Emmy Award winning episode where I was honored to speak with artist, Fred Tomaselli,
