Welcome to Art Slice: a rowdy, inclusive & Palatable Serving of Art History

Brought to you by visual artists and Art Historian Stephanie Dueñas and Russell Shoemaker. We cover Art History without all the gatekeeping, privilege, and that cognitive fog called ‘art speaking’.

We dig into the famous artists you may have slept through during your Art History lectures, and the ones that have been left out.

Stephanie Dueñas is a Latinx visual artist and art historian who’s worked in museums both nationally and internationally, including the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy.

Russell Shoemaker is a visual artist and has frequented artist residencies, taught art to all ages of students, and even helped open an International Art Academy in Shenzhen, China. 

Stephanie and Russell met in late 2015 on a Viridian Green Phthalo Green couch. They quickly hit it off and became co-parents to two cats…which grew to three, then four…and now back to three (RIP sweet Frankie). 

Art Slice was conceived during a cross country road trip in 2020, out of their shared love for art and general ambivalence towards institutions and how artwork and artist’s lives are presented to the public. Podcasting for them has the potential to be an art and storytelling medium in itself. 

Bryan Knotts conceptualized and designed our Target Pizza Box logo.
