I'm an artist, muralist, author, podcaster, and educator, with a passion for making meaningful connections through art. I'm proud to be a collected Canadian Artist, with my work exhibited internationally and across North America. Recently, I had the privilege of showcasing my pieces in the vibrant art scene of NYC. A highlight of my career has been the completion of my largest project to date, a monumental 3082 sq/ft mural titled Choose Love and Join Hands in Truth and Reconciliation. Along with the installation of this massive project, we ran an Indigenous Mentorship Program. To celebrate the project we held an unveiling and Final Ceremony with elders blessing, dancing and drumming. This collaboration with my community holds great personal significance. In 2021, I took my commitment to creative education further by founding an Art Academy in partnership with my local public school district, with a focus on inclusivity, diversity, and self discovery. Additionally, I established the Colour Me Happy online Community, Book, and Podcast, aiming to spread creative joy far and wide. In the coming years, I'm excited to take my educational workshops to the next level by building an eco-friendly artist residency and arts centre right here in Canada. My artwork has been featured on national television and has graced the pages of international publications and the prestigious Saatchi Gallery. I'm grateful for the support of collectors like Jillian Harris, Sarah Baeumler, Jenna Kutcher, Andrew Salgado, Jann Arden, and Sarah Nicole Landry (thebbirdspapaya). My studio, where my children and I create, is nestled in the tranquil Canadian prairies. It's not just a space, but a sanctuary for artistic expression and shared moments of creativity." ‍ Connect with this episode's featured artist Brandi Hofer here:  Website: https://www.brandihofer.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandihoferstudios/ Instagram/ Colour Me Happy Community: https://www.instagram.com/colourmehappycommunity/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrandiLHofer Check out Brandi's Online Portrait Class: https://brandihoferstudios.thrivecart.com/portrait-class/?_gl=1*1cjtoae*_ga*MTQ1NzU0MjQyNS4xNzIzNzY1OTcx*_ga_05JXSG6TKL*MTcyNDc1NjYwMi4zLjEuMTcyNDc1NjcyNS4wLjAuMA..   Listen to Brandi interview Sara on her podcast: Colour Me Happy: https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/giving-yourself-permission-to-create-overcoming-imposter/id1549968568?i=1000666358155   Things mentioned during the episode: Movie: Atomic Habits Music: Feist The Art Queens Society: https://www.artqueens.co/   Follow I Like Art Podcast on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ilikeart.podcast/ Watch the latest I Like Art Podcast Interviews on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ILikeArtPodcast    Find Sara Glupker- Podcast host here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraglupker Website: https://www.saraglupkerart.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraStrongGlupkerArtist

Welcome to episode 74 of I Like Art Podcast with a very special interview with Katie Lila of the newly-released show Follow the Blooms as aired on BloomTV. In this episode, hear host Sara Glupker and Katie Lila chat about how following her artist-heart lead her on the path to making interactive art displays out of fresh flowers and then making the show Follow the Blooms. Each episode features a special floral installation at a local event. Here, Katie features a local flower farmer and local artist and they collaborate to create stunning floral installations for these events. You will love this episode and feel energized and inspired by this electric conversation!  Thank you so much for tuning in to this week's episode and please check out all of the links below to get to know Katie Lila more, discover the show, and find ways to connect.  A note from today's featured artist: "I've been sharing flowers with people for the last 20 years. I'm committed to using locally grown blooms whenever possible and hope to be a bridge between the everyday flower lover and our local flower farmers here in Spokane Washington and wherever else the blooms take me.  During college I started taking classes, working in flower shops, and learning from a myriad of talented designers. Eventually, I had my own successful floral event company while raising babies and helping support my husband through medical school because even a full plate looks better with some flowers.  Over the years I became curious about what else I could make with flowers. This led me to designing large scale flower art. The process was so compelling that I decided to capture it on film and share it in the series Follow The Blooms now streaming on the Bloom TV Network.  Flowers are a funny thing, right? On one hand they grow right out of the dirt, even from cracks in the cement. On the other hand, they are a luxury item that many do not have access to or simply can't afford, especially curated large-scale flower design. I hope to change that and help more people experience the beauty and joy of flowers as art.  I love creating with flowers and am excited to see where the Flowers for People story goes next. I'd like to be a part of the ongoing flower conversation with those who craft and share it… one stem at a time." - Katie Lila   Enjoy a free month's subscription to Bloom TV by clicking on this link: https://bloomtvnetwork.com/pages/follow-the-blooms-lp?via=katie-lila    Connect with this episode's featured artist Katie Lila here:  Website: https://www.flowersforpeople.co/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flowers.for.people/ You can watch this podcast interview here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zc2cpP8TKv8    Things mentioned during the episode: Denise Gasser, artist: https://www.instagram.com/denisegasserart/ Book: The Bible Book: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert   Follow I Like Art Podcast on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ilikeart.podcast/   Find Sara Glupker- Podcast host here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraglupker Website: https://www.saraglupkerart.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraStrongGlupkerArtist
