Strong Fundamentals

With Lyudmila Tomova Clarke, produced by Cece Davis
Plein Air Easton Podcast

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lyudmila Tomova to trace her extraordinary journey across continents, cultures, and careers. From her early years growing up in Sofia, Lyudmila Tomova shares what it was like to leave everything behind and begin again as a political refugee in New York City.

Her story takes a remarkable turn when she’s recruited by The Walt Disney Company—a pivotal chapter that helped shape her artistic voice and discipline. But it’s her evolution beyond the studio that truly defines her legacy.

Today, Lyudmila Tomova is celebrated as one of the world’s leading plein air painters, capturing landscapes with a rare immediacy, emotion, and mastery of light.

This episode is a moving exploration of resilience, reinvention, and the transformative power of art—an inspiring listen for creatives and dreamers alike.
