Leaning Into Her Roots and Community Art with Marilyn Fontaine (ep. 185)

host: Alyson Stanfield

Some artists are fine working by themselves in their studios. Other artists need to move their art beyond the studio walls and into the public in order to be fulfilled.

My guest for this episode is Marilyn Fontaine, a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in East London. Her work is spiritual with a strong foothold in feminine themes.

She has begun marrying that work to the history of the local community—in particular, the stories of those who share her Afro-Caribbean roots.

Marilyn and I talk about the work she does within her community, including how it is funded and why her growing network is essential.

We also discuss:

  • Her ritual upon entering the studio for a day's work, which is always a favorite topic of mine.
  • Why she's leaning into rejection and learning to be curious about negative reactions that some people have to her work.
  • How she is learning to let go—to not hold too tight to the idea that she wants something so badly—and to allow it to come by creating that space.
