OUR GUEST
CONNECT W/ JULIA
EPISODE GUIDE
You’ve got to make the stuff you have to make says Julia Denos, author + artist. We were energized by our conversation with Julia about living and creating from your bonfire heart. We explore the themes of curiosity as muse, art as activism, and fulfilling your purpose by being committed to your work even when you can’t predict the outcome. Julia also gives us a glimpse of what it’s like to be a successful illustrator bringing other people’s stories to life, as well as creating her own popular book Swatch: The Girl Who Loved Color. Listen in as we connect over living where you work, night owl tendencies, and art tantrums. But mostly we share a passion for creating art and lives bursting with meaning.
