I’ve had the pleasure of sitting with Winton and Rosa Eugene a few times over the last handful of months, and I wish that everyone could sit with and share stories with people as gifted, smart and hilarious as them. Between them, they have lived several full lives — all worthy of sharing. The problem is that few are asking…

"Never Admire Quietly"
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I aspire to help facilitate artists in their miraculous acts of creating by promoting their talent and giving them a platform to showcase their unique point-of-view. It is my goal to highlight the talented people I know and introduce them to our larger community. I have decided to produce an interview series with artists to detail their processes and profile their careers. This series is a big leap towards a decades-old dream.
It is my goal to showcase lesser-known artists and empower them to share their stories of inspiration and motivation. This series demonstrates how each artist tapped into their talent and held on to it through the challenges they faced. Through my conversations with the artists, I hope people will see the talent behind the art, which will in turn enrich the community’s appreciation for their art.
I am appreciative of those who create. I was educated, motivated, and encouraged by my conversations with the artists who share the gift of translating thought and emotion into something tangible and experiential. I hope you feel some of the magic of their stories through my words. I hope it inspires curiosity about these artists and others whom I think you should know.
