This week on the podcast I speak with independent artist Mitra Cline who is also the founder of Foreverbird Studio in Santa Barbara. I know the title of the episode is a mouthful, but I really want to highlight this concept of reciprocal relationships between artists and community members.
I wanted to record this conversation with Mitra to support her and her upcoming show in Lompoc, because she also values collaboration and community like I do. Mitra was my mentor last year for a community event, so I wanted to return the favor and do what I could to promote her event and introduce her to whoever does not already know her in the community.
In this episde, Mitra shares what brought her to the work she does and explains how losing her home in a fire at the age of 8yo contributed to her evolution as a human and her progression as an artist. We talk about all the Brain BS that comes with putting ourselves out there for external validation and how learning to manage our minds is of utmost importance. This is a great opportunity to enjoy an independent artist's point of view (which is what I almost called the episode!)

I am recently becoming more aware of the struggles faced by artists in our community and really believe a reciprocal relationship with the community is a great win-win for everybody! So if you have been thinking about getting a cool piece of art, consider shopping local first. The artists here will really appreciate it.
