The concept for the "Studio Conversations" project goes back to 2012 when Buhamann became increasingly disenchanted with the media’s fixation the soaring art market. Buhmann states, "I wanted to counterbalance that trend while supporting my community by creating a permanent record of something private and simple: conversations with artists in their studios about the works on their walls."[1]

Quote

In 2019, when asked by Deanna Sirlin, founder of The Art Section, an online journal of art and cultural commentary, whether her perspective on an artist’s work would change after an interview, Buhmann replied:

"I believe that your perspective on something always changes when you learn more about it. A deeper understanding will always add another, more interesting layer. That’s why education is so important to everything we do or want to have a say in. In general, I will walk away with even more respect and admiration for the work I saw."[34]
