EP 3: The Unexpected Image with Artist Ahuva Zaslavsky

What is the job of visual art? Should it comfort a viewer? Make them feel good? Or disturb them? Shake them up? Should it do all of these things? 

Justin talks with visual artist Ahuva Zaslavsky about the power of art to push us out of our comfort zones to new places. They also talk about Ahuva’s focus on “I vs. We” in her art, the balance of being a parent and an artist, and the healing magic of totally impulsive decisions. 

Ahuva Zaslavsky completed her undergraduate work in behavioral sciences before gravitating to visual art. She is currently pursuing her MFA at Pacific Northwest College of Art. She has held solo exhibitions of her prints and paintings at PNCA Gallery, the Multnomah Arts Center and the West Linn, OR public library.
