Art can save your life. I know this for certain because it’s the only thing that’s saving me right now. My creative practice is my balm…

Art can also change your life and I loved talking with Jodine about how art has changed hers.

I hope you enjoy this conversation and consider how you might be able to support an artist that speaks to you. 💖
