    E5: Do What You're Called to Do! With author Jennifer Savran Kelly

    Today I speak with the author Jennifer Savran Kelly, whose debut novel Endpapers is about an artist named Dawn. Kelly says that this book is a love letter to art! Kelly fills us in on what it was like writing about a character who is stuck - not only with her art but also in her gender identity. As she figures out her situation in her life, her art is also finally able to be expressed as well. Kelly talks about the art classes that she took during the same time as the book's setting. Lis...

    E4: A Story for Class Artists Everywhere!

    Today we’re going to talk about being the “class artist”. The class artist is what I call that kid in elementary school who is identified as the person who can draw.

Being the class artist can shape a person’s identity, and become a confidence booster! But at some point as artists, and people, we have to know when to draw the...

In this episode, I talk about how fun it is to make drawings of the people in your everyday life from life. We look at some more of the unknown Ellsworth Kelly drawings that he made of people in his life, and I talk about my...

    E2: How to Find Your Creativity with Sketchbooks!

    Today I'm going to talk about the three things that I love about sketchbooks: 1. You can play and experiment in them without feeling judged. You can create freely. 2. You can document life and your thoughts and your artistic progress over the years, and 3. You can gain insight into other artists’ minds by looking at other artists’ sketchbooks. Some are even published that you can purchase. If you want to start keeping a sketchbook, or you have a child or student who is...
