The Victorious Marcus Show

Faith, Flips, and Footprints: Victorious Marcus Builds New Creative Partnerships

Victorious Marcus Hopkins looks back on his gymnastics-to-music journey, a Flux Awards honor, and a night of guests spanning a record label, a Disney painter, a tech innovator, and an Emmy-winning editor.

A Lifetime of Flips, Faith, and Firsts
Marcus Hopkins, who performs and broadcasts as Victorious Marcus, opens the show by laying out his own biography. He says he attended the same Houston middle school as Beyoncé Knowles, grew up singing in church, and has collected thousands of honors across fifteen years of gymnastics, track, and performing. He mentions a Grammy nomination for his song "Prejudice and Ignorance," which he says is being developed into a Tubi movie, and recalls dancing in the Oscar-winning film F1. Marcus explains he is raising twelve thousand dollars toward a license for his own TV show and thanks a producer named Damon Johns for the opportunity. He walks listeners through his acrobatics journey, from an early failed back handspring that his brother dismissed, through overcoming the fear of a self-inflicted injury, to eventually linking triple back handsprings and full-twisting combinations he still performs today.

Honored at the Flux Awards in Las Vegas
The scene shifts to the Flux Awards in Las Vegas, where an unidentified female interviewer walks Marcus through his accomplishments on camera. He describes work with Disney, collaborations with Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff, and billions of views on his television projects, alongside winning a Lifetime Achievement honor at the ceremony. Pressed on challenges, Marcus talks about rejection and a period of homelessness while chasing his goals, saying he stayed consistent and leaned on faith rather than giving up. He calls himself "tenacious" and credits God as his biggest influence for carrying him through close calls he says could have ended differently. Asked for advice, he tells aspiring entrepreneurs to keep faith through difficult timing and seasons. He closes the segment by directing listeners to The Victorious Marcus Show on BBS Radio TV and his Instagram account, @victoriousmarcus1, for updates on upcoming projects.

Ghost Rocket Places Him at Level Two
A prerecorded message follows from Luke Daniloon, owner and founder of the label Ghost Rocket, congratulating Marcus on being accepted onto the roster. Daniloon lays out the label's three-tier deal structure. Level one artists, he explains, are brand new and must fund their own marketing with no investment from the label. Level two artists show enough traction through music quality, social presence, or data to earn a dollar-for-dollar marketing match from Ghost Rocket's team. Level three artists are independently established enough that the label would fund them outright, positioning them for management, major labels, and publishers. Daniloon tells Marcus directly that his statistical data, musical development, and overall work have placed him at level two, calling it an accomplishment reserved for a minority of applicants and promising further collaboration ahead as the label works to move him toward level three.

A Symbiotic Partnership with Disney Painter George Clayson
Marcus turns to a new creative partnership with George Clayson, a painter who spent more than forty years working for Disney after settling in Southern California, attending Cal State Fullerton, and serving overseas in Greece and the Philippines. Clayson has painted a portrait of Marcus as part of a venture he calls "music art," blending visual art, faith, and healing. He shares his motto, "if you can conceive it, it can happen," and describes a new concept he calls symbiotic painting, in which musicians, actors, and authors read their own work aloud while he paints the scenes their words create live. Clayson credits God as the true source of his inspiration rather than himself. The two discuss future projects together, including a piece inspired by Clayson's earlier Hanson-themed artwork, and Clayson invites musicians and collaborators to reach him through Facebook, YouTube, or email to discuss working together.

Staying Curious with Tech Innovator Sonu Kapoor
Technology entrepreneur Sonu Kapoor joins the show next, describing a path that began in India, continued in Germany from age seven, and later took him through Canada, Los Angeles, and Toronto. Kapoor explains that a wave of German tech hiring once drew him back to India for a year to study web development before he returned to Germany as a full-stack developer. Over twenty years in the industry, he says he has worked with companies including Siemens, Cisco, Sony Music Publishing, and American Apparel, earning multiple Microsoft MVP recognitions and, most recently, a Google Top Forecaster Award for his work on the Angular framework. His motto, he tells Marcus, is "keep learning and stay curious," which he credits for every major turn in his career. Kapoor says his current goal is pushing front-end development forward through Angular Signals and browser-based AI, while continuing to write, speak, and contribute to open-source projects.

Footprints, History, and an Emmy-Winning Conversation
A fiery prerecorded speech from an unidentified speaker follows, warning that books, stories, and names are being erased from libraries and government buildings, and insisting that the history of enslaved people cannot be erased because it was left as footprints "on water" all the way to America. The speech invokes Dr. King, the looting of African crowns into European museums, and the burning of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, framing continued Black entrepreneurship and business-building as proof that erasure has failed. Marcus then welcomes Emmy-winning editor Seth Warren, who traces his path from Southern California through Colorado State, an internship at CBS, and editing work at Denver's Pepsi Center before an Emmy win with Lou Reda Pictures on a Food Network show and founding his own company, Nito Pictures. Warren describes current projects, including an educational series on Texas history and the documentary "United Crafts of America," and shares his motto borrowed from Ferris Bueller about life moving fast. The episode closes with Marcus reflecting on racism, Rosa Parks, faith, and his own health routine, including lion's mane mushroom.

A Bear Attack, Hospital Scares, and a Word on Weathering the Storm

Amanda Grace returns after a brutal ten-day stretch, a bear attack on her sanctuary, the loss of three animals and her husband Chris's hospitalization, to teach on spiritual warfare, the signs she sees aligning before the midterms, and how believers can rest in the Lord through crushing seasons.

Opening Greetings and a Night of Trouble
Amanda Grace opens her October 16, 2026 broadcast from her office, welcoming viewers across the United States and abroad, naming places from Michigan and Buffalo, New York to Alberta, Nassau in the Bahamas, Bermuda and New Zealand. She thanks everyone for their prayers and calls over the past ten days and promises an update on her husband, Chris. She leads an extended prayer invoking Jesus Christ and the Ruach HaKodesh, asking that angels surround the broadcast and that every plot, scheme, weapon, curse and act of witchcraft aimed at her team be dismantled, destroyed and cast back to where it came from. She asks that nothing pass through her mouth that does not first pass through God's throne. Coming out of prayer, she tells viewers that Chris is now home from the hospital and asks for continued intercession, calling this a critical hour before walking through everything that has happened to her family and ministry.

A Bear Attack on the Sanctuary
Amanda Grace recounts the night a 600-pound black bear climbed a high fence into the animal pen at her sanctuary while she was an hour and a half away in Windham, New York. She says the Lord warned her hours earlier to pray for staffer Sarah's safety, and Sarah ran out barefoot alone to face the bear when it attacked the goats. The bear kills one goat, Dawn, and badly injures another, Ray, while a third, James, suffers lighter cuts. Amanda Grace calls sanctuary manager Ricky on speakerphone and prays aloud, commanding the bear in the name of Jesus Christ to leave and never return, and Ricky and Sarah report the bear turning and walking away as she prays. She then calls the Dutchess County Sheriff, whose officers arrive within four minutes carrying high-powered rifles and track the bear into the woods, where they find her with a cub and choose to drive her off the property rather than shoot.

Emergency Care and a New Fence
Amanda Grace describes the emergency response after the bear attack, calling her farm vet, Dr. Shirkey of Bentley Veterinary, who races out at 1:30 a.m. to stitch Ray's deep lacerations and treat James. The next day Ray and James are transferred to Cornell Large Animal Hospital for further treatment, and the attending doctor tells her it is miraculous that Ray survived, adding that black bears do not normally climb high fences to attack livestock this way. Shaken by the incident, her staff begins staying at the house in pairs, and the sanctuary installs a 20,000-volt electric fence on Monday to prevent a repeat attack. Amanda Grace and Chris leave Windham and drive home on Sunday after Chris begins having health issues, and two staffers, Lance and Kayden, stay overnight with them in case the bear returns or help is needed. She thanks Bentley Veterinary and Cornell Large Animal Hospital by name and asks viewers to call and thank both for their care.

More Losses in a Ten-Day Span
Amanda Grace continues the account of what she calls a ten-day span of attack, describing how her 18-year-old cat, Sadie, goes into shock early Monday morning and has to be rushed to the Guardian animal hospital, where the staff tells her Sadie cannot be revived and must be euthanized; the team prays over Sadie and says goodbye before she is put down. On Tuesday, Chris suffers a continuous seizure that will not break, and Amanda Grace calls 911 to have him hospitalized and placed on heavy medication to stop it. By Thursday she receives a call from Dr. Hunter about Grace, a painted horse being treated for laminitis at a rehab facility, whose condition has worsened so quickly that her bone is about to break through; the team anoints and prays over Grace by speakerphone, and the horse dies soon after. Amanda Grace says the Holy Spirit had warned her on October 7th that this kind of season was coming.

A Teaching on Spiritual Warfare
Turning from the personal to the prophetic, Amanda Grace teaches on being sober and alert from 1 Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:12 and James 4:7, telling viewers to submit to God first and then resist the devil with hostile, standing resistance. She says the Holy Spirit told her on October 7th that the two weeks between 9/11 and the midterms carry heightened spiritual warfare, and she points to what she calls evidence in the culture: Chipotle's "Summon the Spirits" promotion and a National Geographic issue devoted to The History of Witchcraft and the occult, both of which she says are designed to desensitize the public to the demonic ahead of the midterms. She then reads a news item about actress Selma Blair's arraignment over a Delta flight outburst, plays a TMZ clip of Selma Blair screaming on the plane, and walks through a numerology linking the flight's JFK destination, Selma Blair's January 19th court date and the two-year mark of President Trump's term, urging viewers to pray for her deliverance.

Storms, Words from the Lord, and Closing
Amanda Grace reads a sign in three storms, Rachel, Simon and Isaias, that struck the country in the same window, saying the names together spell "sheep, listen, Yahweh is your salvation," a message she ties to Matthew 7's parable of houses built on rock and sand. She reads two earlier words from the Lord, from March 26th and May 30th, 2026, describing a coming shake-up inside the administration and the exposure of hidden secrets among conservative leaders, and she teaches that crushing, like the crushing that releases olive oil, precedes a greater anointing and ability to withstand pressure without burning. She closes by confirming that the events at The Gathering and in Arkansas are being postponed rather than canceled because of Chris's hospitalization, asks viewers to keep interceding, thanks her sanctuary and moderator team for their extra hours, and encourages everyone to pray Ephesians 6, Psalm 91 and the Lord's Prayer nightly before wishing a Shabbat Shalom and promising to return live early the following week.

Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

Where We The People Are Called To Submit To Tyranny: Romans 13, the Great Seal, and America's Christian Founding

In a solo broadcast, Bradlee Dean argues that scripture never commands believers to submit to tyranny, walking listeners through Romans 13, the hidden motto of the Great Seal, the Magna Carta, and the fiery furnace of Daniel to make his case.

Romans 13 and the Limits of Authority
Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast alone with a direct answer to listeners who quote Romans 13 to argue Christians must submit to any government. He reads the passage in full, then challenges anyone who treats it as unconditional obedience, asking whether a Christian would really submit if a president revived the medieval custom of prima nocta, the king's claimed right to a subject's bride on her wedding night. Dean argues all human authority is limited by its purpose: a father cannot abuse his family, an employer cannot control an employee's private life, and a civil magistrate's authority is confined to punishing evil and protecting good. He stresses that Romans 13 itself defines government as a minister of God for good, with no authority to terrorize people who do right, and that any ruler who oversteps that boundary forfeits divine protection. He is cut off mid-sentence by music as he begins discussing Moses and the Egyptian taskmaster, a thread picked up later in the hour.

A Thesis of No Submission to Tyranny
After the show's theme and a station identification describing Sons of Liberty as grounded in a Christian biblical worldview, Bradlee Dean greets listeners and lays out his thesis for the day: nowhere in the Word of God, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, or the Constitution are the people told to submit to tyranny. He insists he seeks lawful reformation, not overthrow of the Constitution, only of the men who pervert it. He retells John Hancock signing the Declaration in oversized letters so the British crown would not need spectacles to read his name, quoting Hancock's line that resistance to tyranny is a Christian duty. Dean then turns critical, naming Franklin Graham and claiming Graham urged Donald Trump to delay acting on abortion, while abortion funding rose under Trump past six hundred million dollars, higher than under Barack Obama, a figure Dean does not source. He gives out the call-in number and invites challengers to phone in.

A Caller's Testimonial and Attacks on Pastors
A caller named Carl, from Delano, Minnesota, offers a brief on-air testimonial praising Sons of Liberty's content as truthful guidance through disinformation and plugging Dean's Sunday service. Back from the break, Dean resumes his critique of prominent pastors, naming Mark Driscoll and John Hagee alongside Franklin Graham, calling them Zionists and controlled opposition who teach congregations to hide behind prayer instead of confronting corruption. He broadens the charge to Billy Graham, claiming decades of propping up political corruption, and reads Jeremiah 23:14 on prophets who commit adultery, walk in lies, and strengthen evildoers, applying it to an evangelical advisory board around Donald Trump that he says contains no genuine Christians. Dean then reads Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 on a synagogue of Satan to argue, without citing supporting scholarship, that Zionists are not actually Jewish, and challenges any of the named pastors to call in and answer him directly rather than remain silent.

The Great Seal's Hidden Motto
Dean turns to the Great Seal of the United States, displaying what he says is Thomas Jefferson's edit of a design first proposed by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams: Pharaoh in his chariot pursuing the Israelites through the parted Red Sea while Moses, lit by a pillar of fire, extends his hand over the waters. The motto beneath it, Dean says, was meant to be Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God, and he argues most Americans have never seen this history connecting the nation's founding symbolism to Exodus. He calls it proof the founders understood government's purpose as described in Romans 12:21, to right wrongs rather than demand blind submission. Dean then introduces English jurist William Blackstone, crediting him with commentaries on English common law that he says are built on the Torah's commandments and statutes, quoting Blackstone's line that no human enactment can be considered law unless it conforms to God's unchangeable moral law.

Founders' Quotes, Magna Carta, and a Fading Church
Between advertising breaks, Dean reads a string of quotations: Puritan preacher John Owen and theologian Francis Turretin on grace and effectual calling, Patrick Henry's warning that bad men cannot make good citizens and that forgetting God forges tyrants' chains, and John Hancock's call to resist tyranny as a Christian duty. He recaps a broadcast from the previous day covering the Magna Carta and 1 Samuel 8, where Israel demanded a king like the surrounding nations, reading it as a rejection of God's own kingship. He quotes nineteenth-century House Speaker Robert Winthrop's line that a people not ruled by the Word of God will be ruled by the bayonet. Dean laments that the church, which he calls society's moral compass, has largely abandoned a love for truth, citing Charles Spurgeon's lines about dust-covered Bibles and shepherds replaced by clowns entertaining goats. He closes retelling Frederick Douglass's account of praying twenty years before putting his own feet to his prayers and gaining freedom.

Healing Prayers and the Fiery Furnace
In the final hour, Dean addresses a listener he calls Sears B directly, inviting him to Sunday service so Dean can pray for his healing, citing scripture on Jesus healing the oppressed. He contrasts that promise with a story about a transgender athlete who criticized the United States while competing abroad, then sought the American government's help after running into legal trouble overseas, which Dean uses to argue critics should appreciate the nation they are quick to condemn. He revisits Patrick Henry's Caesar had his Brutus speech and the cry of Treason it provoked, then retells Moses commanding Pharaoh to free the Israelites and Nebuchadnezzar's furnace in Daniel 3, where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to bow to an idol and emerge unsinged after a fourth figure appears in the flames. Dean frames their defiance as the model for obedience to God over earthly rulers, tells listeners he is only halfway through his material, and signs off until the next afternoon's broadcast.

Tony Alamo

Ep285 How to have God's life living in you Part 183

Teaching Sin Versus Power, Mount Sinai's Ten Commandments, and the Vision Behind Difficult Mountain

World Pastor Tony Alamo preaches program 285 on the difference between sin and the power of God, moving from Genesis through Mount Sinai to his own Beverly Hills conversion, while co-host Sharon reads listener testimonials and Jack Holcomb sings two hymns.

Program 285 Opens With Tithes And Warnings
Tony Alamo opens program 285, part 183 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, reminding listeners that CD or cassette copies of the message go out free, with the ministry covering postage and handling. He warns that withholding tithes and offerings from God amounts to theft, invoking Ananias and Sapphira as a caution to anyone who holds back money while gospel programs like his feed listeners truth in what he calls the last days before Christ's return. Turning to Genesis, Alamo recalls that God gave Adam and Eve a single commandment, not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and that disobedience is the clearest meaning of sin. He insists no one can understand sin without reading the Bible, and that the human race today lives ignorant of both sin and the power of God that answers it, a power he says belongs entirely to Jesus Christ.

Sin, Power, And The Word Made Flesh
Alamo builds his teaching on the difference between sin and power, quoting John's gospel that the Word was with God and was God, and that the Word became flesh in Jesus. He tells the congregation that sinners carry no power of their own and must come to Christ, in whom all power in heaven and earth dwells, to be washed in his blood and filled with the Holy Spirit. Once cleansed, he says, a believer no longer needs to sin, since the dividing wall between the soul and God is removed and the fullness of the Godhead enters in. He contrasts the law that came with Moses against the power and truth that came with Jesus, telling listeners who already sit in churches that these lessons are not redundant but are meant for souls still lost in the world. A congregation member answers twice with Amen as he presses the point.

Mount Sinai, The Vatican, And A Beverly Hills Vision
Moving through Genesis and Exodus, Alamo describes Noah's Ark settling on Mount Ararat after God destroyed a world so filled with sin that only Noah's family survived, then turns to Mount Sinai, where God made his covenant with the newly chosen nation of Israel. He says the world's hatred of the Jewish people stems from their status as God's chosen, and widens his target to the Vatican, which he calls Satan's church, the one-world government, and a Satan-controlled media working together to persecute true born-again Christians. He recounts Moses fearing and quaking before God's voice on the mountain and the Apostle Paul trembling at his conversion on the road, then turns personal, describing his own conversion forty-two years earlier in a Beverly Hills office, where he says the Lord's voice came through his whole body, his natural hearing shut off, and he learned for the first time that heaven and hell were real.

Jack Holcomb Sings As Fear Of God Is Taught
Alamo tells the congregation he has been hard on their ears and invites Brother Jack Holcomb to sing, introducing "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" as a demonstration of the lesson he has just taught. After the performance, Alamo resumes his account of Mount Sinai, describing the people of Israel falling on their faces in terror as God's booming voice rattled their bones, smoke rose from the mountain, trumpets sounded, and an earthquake accompanied the giving of the Ten Commandments, which he says every person in Israel heard directly. He connects that scene to modern skepticism, noting that people today try to deny the Holocaust despite photographic evidence, just as they deny the reality of God's spoken law. He then tells the congregation it is time to lighten the mood with listener testimonials, prompting a congregation member's laughing request for a break.

Letters From Boston, New York, And The Bronx
Co-host Sharon reads a run of listener testimonials, starting with Pearlene, an eighty-three-year-old woman in Boston who called the ministry's witnessing line unsure whether a real person would answer, then described how her minister was stunned to see Alamo's Dry Bones testimony printed in the Boston Globe; Alamo asks the congregation to pray for her Parkinson's diagnosis. Sharon continues with a New York woman awaiting a cancer scan who found the tract Difficult Mountains in the Daily News, prompting Alamo to explain that the piece came from a vision of himself and his late wife Susie climbing a steep, darkening mountain together before her death from cancer in April 1982. Further calls come from women in the Bronx and on Long Island, one asking to be added to the mailing list and another requesting a photograph of Alamo, who agrees to send one.

Calvary, Scripture Readings, And A Closing Prayer
Returning to teaching, Alamo argues that the moral law still stands under grace, quoting Galatians that scripture itself calls the law necessary, and insisting that Jesus magnified rather than erased commandments against adultery and murder by extending them to lustful thoughts and unjustified hatred. He describes Christ's crucifixion at Calvary as the full measure of sin's cost, correcting the King James rendering of Christ's cry from the cross with what he calls the proper Aramaic translation, "for this cause was I brought into this world." Sharon reads supporting passages from 1 Timothy and 2 Peter on the lawless, seducing spirits, and the coming fire that will dissolve the heavens, as Alamo warns that unrepentant haters belong to the body of Antichrist. He leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer, gives the program's mailing address and phone numbers, and closes as Jack Holcomb sings "All the Way My Savior Leads Me."

The Care Compass

Bob Ross, Galleries, and the Healing Power of Art with Tamara Holcom

Dame Nicole Brandon welcomes Prescott, Arizona artist and gallery curator Tamara Holcom on her birthday to talk Bob Ross, oil painting, and how art can heal seniors, children, and anyone navigating hard times.

Birthday Wishes And A Warm Welcome
Nicole Brandon opens The Care Compass with her usual weekly update on her parents, sharing that her father now calls every day perfect simply because he is with her mother. She introduces today's guest, Tamara Holcom, an artist, instructor, and gallery curator in Prescott, Arizona, and wishes her a happy birthday before the conversation begins. Nicole draws a connection to one of her favorite musicals, Sunday in the Park with George, which follows an artist's journey, and recalls the show's famous line that the two most important things in the world are children and art. She tells Tamara that creating something that moves people requires the artist to be moved first, a point she credits to Michelangelo. Tamara thanks Nicole for the introduction and says she feels a connection between them that goes deeper than the surface, setting a warm, personal tone for the hour ahead.

An Artist's Origin Story
Tamara Holcom traces her path into art back to her former father-in-law, Andy, a gentle painter from Ireland whom she would watch for hours during his long visits. Inspired, she began watching Bob Ross on television and signed up for Bob Ross classes at Michaels, the craft store chain, alongside an admiration for painter Thomas Kinkade. She explains that those three men shaped who she became as an artist, instructor, and curator. Tamara shares that she trained in Muncie, Indiana, inside the very house where Bob Ross filmed his PBS series, now preserved as a museum on the grounds of Ball State University. She notes that Bob could complete a painting in twenty-seven minutes, a feat she says still takes her closer to ninety minutes, and recalls that a Prescott restaurant open late at night plays his videos, giving Nicole a quiet place to unwind. Bob Ross died in 1995, but Tamara says his legacy lives on through the roughly six hundred students she has taught in the past year alone.

Teaching Painters Of Every Age
Tamara describes the Bob Ross technique as free of drawing, which lets complete beginners create beautiful paintings using palette knives and fan brushes within a single class. She tells Nicole about Lennart, a Swedish student who began painting with her at seventy-four years old, never having picked up a brush before, and who has since completed seventy-two paintings and started winning contests at the Prescott Valley Library. Nicole connects this to her own experience with a hospital research program where children with chronic pain who practiced art therapy became pain-free, and asks whether painting offers seniors similar relief. Tamara agrees, explaining that students become so absorbed in the moment that hours pass unnoticed, pulling their minds away from past worries and future anxieties. The two also discuss the practical differences between oil and acrylic paint, with Tamara favoring oil's slow drying time because it lets her correct mistakes, while acrylic dries fast and works better for quick techniques like dripped backgrounds.

From The Studio To The Auction House
Tamara walks Nicole through her growing footprint in Prescott, starting with The Studio, home to about twenty-five local artists and artisans selling everything from six-dollar earrings made of melted candy wrappers to her husband's multi-layered wooden mandalas. She explains that the gallery has been voted best art gallery two years running precisely because it welcomes every budget, not just collectors. Nicole and Tamara then turn to the newly opened Auction House, designed with a nineteen-forties speakeasy atmosphere of black feathers and red couches, where First Friday auctions will rotate through monthly themes, starting with Michelangelo and his lesser-known habit of burning work he considered subpar. Tamara shares that a ten percent buyer's premium from the auctions will support local charities including Destiny House and the Lower 22, and that she hopes to start a fund specifically for underprivileged children whose artistic talent might otherwise go unrecognized. Nicole immediately offers to help build that fund.

Painting Through Pain And Limitation
The conversation turns to accessibility, as Nicole asks about students whose hands shake or whose eyesight is failing. Tamara recalls a woman with macular degeneration who could barely see, so Tamara painted roughly seventy-five percent of the canvas herself while the woman applied the colors she chose, purples and yellows, and left with two finished paintings she still displays in her bedroom. Tamara says she always offers alternatives for people with arthritis or tremors, working through compassion rather than turning anyone away. Nicole, who runs arthritis-related wellness programs herself, appreciates the approach. The two also discuss art for children, including a Bob Ross kids kit with acrylic paint safe for young hands, and Tamara's long-running summer camp, where a boy named Jack sold his first painting at age nine and now proudly calls himself a professional artist. Asked to define art, Tamara says it must evoke a feeling and resonate with a person's soul, not merely look pretty.

A Lifetime Of Art, Open To Everyone
Nicole learns that Tamara spent twenty years running her own advertising agency in Michigan, negotiating media buys for clients, a background Tamara says taught her the puzzle-solving skills she now uses curating the gallery and planning auctions. Looking ahead, Tamara describes plans for a deeply discounted back room of affordable art, framing services, and gift certificates for both classes and merchandise, ideal for holiday giving. Nicole asks what colors and artwork best suit assisted living rooms and senior centers, and Tamara recommends letting residents choose pieces that truly resonate with them, since contrasting colors create the visual pop that lifts a space. Nicole shares a childhood memory of her father, a longtime Merrill Lynch vice president, finding calm in an art book after stressful days. Closing the hour, Tamara directs listeners to prescottfineart.com and her gallery's phone number, while Nicole thanks her warmly and reminds listeners that resources, support, and art itself are always within reach, no matter where they are.
