Balancing full time work and art making

Art Buds is a podcast for artists in Ontario. In episode 2, we discuss how we came to our art practice, the challenges of being an artist while working full time, and the inspiration behind our current bodies of work. Note: We actually recorded episode 2 before episode 1, which is why you’ll hear us get so dang excited as we wrap up. We made a podcast!
