The Undraped Artist Podcast
Artist Jeff Hein interviews some of the world’s most accomplished and gifted artists about their work, process, philosophy and experience. Tune in every Monday for a new episode.
Help Me Keep the Podcast Alive and Even Make it Better!
I pay the bills with painting sales and through mentoring my Hein Atelier students. This means that I can't do this podcast forever unless I can hand the work load over to someone else. Reaching my total pledge goal will make it possible for me to hire an editor/manager. This will not only allow me to reclaim my much needed painting and teaching time but it will also help me to improve the podcast's overall production value. With an editor/manager, I can add more features, such as image and text overlays referencing artists, or paintings, that my guests mention. I can also add links in the show notes to important topics discussed. For those who don't have time to watch entire episodes, I'll be able to post shorts and reels of conversation highlights to our youtube and social media channels. Perhaps best of all, your donations will also allow me to consider your suggestions on how to improve the podcast. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to ensuring that this enriching source or knowledge, information, inspiration and entertainment will be here week after week and year after year.
As a thank you gift, I am offering an "Undraped Artist" branded painters apron to each patron who's reaches $100 in total donations. Just send an email to me at - TheUndrapedArtist@gmail.com to claim your gift.
Where Professional Artists Bare All
What I would have done to have had the chance to pick the brain of just one of the world's greatest painters when I was learning to paint and trying to navigate the mysterious and intimidating world of art. Well, it's never too late. On this podcast brains are everywhere and you can hear (and watch) me pick them all. Don't miss an episode of inspirational, informative and and entertaining conversation with me, Jeff Hein, and the world's best.

Patrick Okrasinski was born in New York City in 1996. Even as a young boy, he was consumed by drawing. The time he spent with his grandparents in the idyllic Polish countryside helped fuel his love of the natural world.
In the Fall of 2016 he found his way to the US branch of the Florence Academy of Art in Jersey City. There he was able to study at the highest levels of figurative painting, under the tutelage of Jordan Sokol, Amaya Gurpide, Stephen Bauman, Cornelia Hernes, and Edmond Rochat. As a student he won numerous prizes, including the ARC Scholarship Competition.
After graduating, he spent three months as Artist in Residence with the Claude Monet Foundation in Giverny, painting in Monet’s garden and the surrounding French countryside.
In 2020 he was awarded the prestigious Donald Jurney Travelling Fellowship Grant for the purpose of travelling and painting the great historic and cultural centers of Europe. In light of the pandemic, this adventure was postponed, and he instead turned to painting the local landscape of the North East, and winning multiple awards in National Juried Shows.
In 2021, he was awarded the Hudson River Fellowship at Wethersfield, a collaborative fellowship that brings together classically trained artists to study and paint nature for three weeks. Later that summer, he painted and traveled Europe, thanks to the Donald Jurney Travelling Fellowship.

Susan Lyon grew up in Oak Park, Illinois. Her initial interest in art was sparked by a PBS television show on Georgia O'Keefe, that inspired her to take weekend art classes. Lyon studied art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was an active participant in Chicago's Palette and Chisel Club. It is there she first began exhibiting and selling her work. She entered the Oil Painters of America. Susan draws inspiration from painters of the Guilded age such as Anders Zorn, Joaquin Sorolla and John Singer Sargent. She also is passionate about artists like Philip Malavin from Russia and contemporary masters Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik. Lyon's technique is to paint wet on wet to start and then wet on dry for her finishing touches. "My style is realistic with as much impressionistic color as possible. I like to combine wide brushes for sweeping strokes in the background with small, soft brushes for subtle details in my center of interest. One of my greatest passions is drawing, I hope to show collectors that works on paper is a wonderful addition to a serious collection."
Susan lives in a rural area of North Carolina with her husband, artist Scott Burdick, whom she met at the Palette and Chisel Art Club in Chicago. She and her husband travel widely "The excitement of traveling, seeing so many new sights and people, plus incredible works in museums; combined with the challenge of painting on the spot make me a travel addict! Even before I go on a trip I'm planning the one after."
Susan works equally in Oil and Pastel/charcoal and Mixed Media.
