Description: Painting Yourself out of the Dark: A conversation with painter Diena Georgetti. What is it like to live with a mental illness and make art? How important is editing when it comes to being an artist? Tai and Diena discuss how difficult it can be when we are critical not only of our work but also of ourselves. They talk about finding consolation in successful works we have made and painting as a way of existing when life itself is really really hard.
