PROGRAM NOTE: the next new episode of A Life Creative will air in a couple weeks, in the meantime check out the video versions of past episodes on YouTube and subscribe to our Substack for more on A Life Creative and our featured guests.Sourabh Gupta joins us on today's episode.  He's an artist who transforms paper and other materials into exotic and mythical flowers.  He shares the story of how he grew up as a creative kid in a small village in India and ended up creating bespoke botanical commissions out of his art studio in Brooklyn, NY.  His work has appeared in public spaces such as at Tiffany's flagship store and at Hudson Yards' Spiral Building and he's created pieces for fashion clients like Tory Burch for the Met Gala. Sourabh's artistry taps into the world in which he grew up, his resourcefulness in making and repurposing materials and tools, and his constant thought process of how the worlds of his imagination can be brought to life.   Co-hosting with Melañio is Sourabh's mentor, Stephen Earle, who was a guest on A Life Creative for episode 6.  We talk about the importance of mentors and what a successful mentor relationship can look like.For more on Sourabh and A Life Creative: www.alifecreativepod.comalifecreative.Substack.com@alifecreative on Instagramalifecreative on YouTube
