    • Arts

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston sits down with Long Beach based artist Aimee Mandala. Aimee has been extremely effective in breaking into the art world, accomplishing very quickly what it has taken some artists many years to achieve. In this energetic and informative conversation, Aimee shares her background in creative writing, her experience being the COO of a top architectural firm, overlapping tools and tactics from both worlds, juggling the life of an artist with being a businesswoman and mom, her origins in the visual arts, a deep passion for drawing, gritty and moody drawings of a craftsperson's hands and tools, her introduction into "The Program" at ShockBoxx gallery, experiences with jurying and curating shows, her upcoming Solo Show, a new art studio, empowering other women, being awarded "Outstanding Business Woman" for 2021 by the LB Chamber Woman's Business Council, and much much more.
