Ave Lawyer, founding member of the theater group On the Verge, and artist/horticulturalist Claudia Michler join host Kate Savage to reflect on the life and art of Dan Stone, a prolific yet private Lexington artist and poet whose works are now on public view following his passing. Longtime friends and supporters, Ave and Claudia share stories of their decades-long friendship with Dan, his philosophy of art as a personal vision rather than commodity, and the process behind curating “Life Work,” a remarkable retrospective of over 400 pieces. Their conversation delves into Dan’s unique creative methods, his selective approach to sharing his world, the influences and recurring motifs in his work, and the enduring legacy he leaves behind for both the arts community and those who knew him best.
