Connecting through Creation with Susie Ghahremani

Susie Ghahremani (@boygirlparty) is the author-illustrator of BALANCE THE BIRDS and STACK THE CATS. Susie’s books attempt to engage our youngest readers through simple shapes and eye-catching colors, exploring foundational skills such as balancing, counting, comparing, and predicting. In making these books Susie shared that she was trying to create a way for kids to go out and have meaning in the world. And in BALANCE THE BIRDS, Susie's readers will find that wobbliness is quite relatable. Thank you to this week's sponsors: Libro.fm Storyteller Academy And to the generous support from our Patrons.

Ep. 95 Susie Ghahremani (aka BoyGirlParty)

Welcome to Episode 36 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with artist Susie Ghahremani. “I remember most being afraid about the idea of living with other people…You spend a lot of time alone if you’re an artist because that’s what’s required to make things, you have to spend time alone. So the idea being around other people and so many people 24-hour days in a dorm context was terrifying to me.” On today’s show I sit down with Susie Ghahremani, artist and owner of boygirlparty.com. Susie takes us back to her childhood as the introverted artistic kid and narrates her story up to her current life as an artist and small business owner. We’ll hear about some of the struggles that may sound familiar to other artsy types: introversion, social awkwardness, and general struggles of growing up “in one’s own head.” We’ll also learn about what it’s like for an artist to be at art school, and how it might be harder than typical schools and programs. Like many artists, Susie has a passion for music. Since both of us remember going to the store to buy an actual CD, we discuss how access to music has changed with technology, as well as Susie’s own musical experience touring on the road, and her love for travel. We’ll also briefly get into the business side of the art world. Susie shares her concerns about the problem of intellectual property as it relates to art, and the struggle that artists go through with this ongoing problem. We won’t solve the problem of intellectual theft in this episode, but it is informative to get an artist’s insight on the subject. Also on this episode: “noise” music, the Providence art-scene, travel, gender inequity in the music biz and much more.
