Discover the layered and deeply human world of artist MaryLea Harris in Your Art Here: The Human Experience. MaryLea explores the stories we carry beneath the surface—the grief, resilience, joy, and complexity that often remain unseen by others. In this thoughtful conversation, she reflects on art as an act of resistance in a culture that prizes productivity over presence, and on the importance of making things with our hands as a way of reconnecting with ourselves and one another. Her work invites us to look beyond appearances, remembering that every person is carrying a story we cannot fully know. Ultimately, this episode is a reflection on art’s unique ability to bridge distance, cultivate empathy, and draw us back into our shared humanity.
