In this episode, we go beyond & back with Kime Buzzelli.

Kime is an accomplished painter and owns The End Yucca Valley, a vintage oasis in the Mojave Desert featuring clothing, jewelry, textiles and art.

I spoke with Kime in her secret new art studio in the high desert near Joshua Tree, California.

I met Kime a couple years ago on my first trip to Joshua Tree. I came to know her as a tastemaker, stylist, costume designer and a supporter of artists - she was one of the first shop owners to carry my one-of-a-kind art-to-wear jackets. 

For a long time, I had no idea of Kime’s career as a painter — she’s shown in galleries and had partnerships with major brands. It wasn’t something she readily mentioned, which still kind of shocks me.

I was really curious why she didn’t mention that sooner, and I wanted to see her new work. That’s when I found out she hadn’t been painting.

What would cause an accomplished artist to experience a creative block?

In this episode we talk about that creative block, putting in the hours toward your creative practice, what we’ve learned from our work and much more.
