    Season 6 | Episode 9 : Interview with Artist Shawn Fitzwater
    Jun 3 2025
    Hi, my name is Shawn Fitzwater, the artist behind Fitz Signs & Murals. ​ Growing up I always enjoyed drawing and sketching. I would draw anything from cartoon characters to design layouts for my dream home. These self-taught skills from a very early age have molded me into the artist that I am today. Never could I have imagined that I would be making a living through art! ​ In early 2018, I decided that I wanted to try and paint a mural on my children's bedroom wall. This was the first time attempting something at this scale and I also had very little experience using a paintbrush! Painting was a whole new world to me as I had always been a pad and pencil kind of guy. I also thought that this would be fun to do as a business, painting kids walls and nurseries because I enjoyed painting colorful characters.

    Season 6 | Episode 8 : Interview with Artist Yumedyne
    May 27 2025
    yumedyne is an artist based in Huntsville, AL, whose work is a bold exploration of symbolism, mythology, and raw emotion. They blend street art aesthetics with surreal, dreamlike narratives, using vivid colors, layered textures, and expressive figures to create immersive compositions that challenge the viewer's perception of reality. Their works evoke a sense of mystery, rebellion, and introspection, incorporating cryptic text, iconic imagery, and abstract elements that feel both personal and universal. Whether painted, drawn, or sewn, their style exudes a punk-like DIY energy that is at once chaotic and deeply intentional.

    Season 6 | Episode 7 : Interview with Artist Christina Wegman
    May 20 2025
    Christina Wegman is a mostly self-taught Huntsville artist and small business owner. Born in 1985 in Northridge, California, she grew up in Madison County and has lived and traveled across the US, Canada, and Europe (including several years of splitting time between Alabama and Germany). Her work has been displayed by the Huntsville Art League, Arts Huntsville, and many other galleries and businesses in and around town such as the Huntsville Botanical Garden, Church Street Wine Shoppe, Harrison Brothers, and Alabama Goods. Her work has also been displayed in Decatur, AL at the Carnegie Visual Arts Center and The Cupboard. She has painted two murals in Downtown Huntsville, including the very popular Alley Cats on the Clinton Row Color Walk. In 2018, she had the honor of being selected to be the Panoply poster artist, and later in the year collaborated with the Huntsville Historic Foundation on the Color Me Huntsville coloring book released in summer 2019 and did a second coloring book with the Historic Foundation in 2021. Her contemplations on her many interests often combine to form new styles and themes, but after running a gallery in Downtown Huntsville over the course of 4.5 years, a large amount of her work focuses on Huntsville scenes and historic landmarks, as well as the beauty and poetry of North Alabama in general. Christina is an avid reader, language learner, pianist, nature-lover, and supporter of local businesses and artists. Her interests extend to architecture and creative place-making; her goal is to pursue projects that allow her to transform her ideas into reality, and expand her understanding of her interests and her world.
