The idea for this podcast came from a simple email I received: “Review your personal creative ‘why’. Take some time to reflect and journal on why you create art and why you are committed to your creative journey. Display your why so you can see it every day.” I had no idea why. So I went on a journey and I finally figured out that I think it’s a Venn Diagram. I actually learned a lot about myself through doing the exercises I suggest in the podcast. Here’s what I discovered: Why I Create: Connection.  I’m interested in connecting with other people.  I’m interested in connecting disparate elements.  I’m interested in connecting techniques.  I’m in interested connecting ideas.  I’m interested in connecting with myself. As always, I hope you find the podcast both educational and entertaining.
