LAB the Podcast with Morgan Irons | Widow of Nain and “The Vision Is Jesus” series
American painter Morgan Irons returns to LAB the Podcast to reflect on creating the Widow of Nain , the second of seven original oil commissions in VU VI VO’s " The Vision is Jesus" series. Morgan shares why she centered the human experience of a grieving mother, how placing figures within the landscapes of the American West opens a well of meaning, and what the painting continues to reveal through those who encounter it. Morgan and Zach also explore land and stewardship, women in the West, and the vital role of patronage in an artist’s life. Their conversation considers what becomes possible when artists are given the trust, time, encouragement, and resources to bring meaningful work into the world and why experiencing art together can awaken wonder, hope, and deeper meaning. ️ Tickets: Join us for the V3 Art Unveiling on December 17, 2026, featuring Carla Paine’s Adoration of the Magi : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/v3-art-unveiling-with-carla-paine-tickets-1986804561928 Explore Morgan Irons’ work : https://www.morganirons.com/ ️ V3 Art Unveiling 2026 with Morgan Irons: https://youtu.be/QdBzzbucV1s?si=FJ7GxYYFTmvcAxu7 Subscribe for more episodes of LAB the Podcast @VUVIVOV3 Watch to experience the space, hear the heart, and meet the people.
