EPISODE 29 with Artist, Illustrator, Graphic & Textile Designer, Kelli May—Krenz is Now LIVE!
But first, I have an interesting story to share with you today!
So……. I have my artists scheduled-out in advance for when I want to interview them for my podcast. I usually follow up a week or two before to confirm and make sure we are still good with the day and time etc. But for the first time since I started this a little over a year ago, I had an artist cancel on me literally 10 minutes before the interview. Uggg…. So I texted my incredibly talented artist/author friend, Christine Mason-Miller, knowing she has many equally talented artist friends, and she gave me the name of Kelli May-Krenz.
When I went to look at Kelli’s social media, I could see we were completely on the same page when it comes to using our art as away to share support, connectivity and joy! Christine introduced us and within a half hour we were on the phone talking as if we had known each other a lifetime. We truly connected on so many levels, some very deep and meaningful.
So the moral of the story is; stay positive! Everything is always working out for you - even when it looks like things aren’t working out, they absolutely are! A big ‘Thank You’ to the artist that cancelled on me at the last minute because I would have never met such a bright and beautiful soul!
I am so appreciative that Kelli jumped right in with me on the heals of her big debut of her new fabric line for Free Spirit fabrics (she was literally driving back from the Trade Show where she revealed her new collection!) That just shows you the type of person she is!
I’m so glad we were able to do this interview because this blog post would be ten pages long just to try to explain a tiny bit of her accomplishments! You are really going to like this episode! Kelli is a mixed media artist, a graphic designer, an illustrator, an on-line course creator (her 10th class is coming out soon!) and now she is a featured textile designer for Free Spirit Fabrics. In this episode she shares how it all unfolded for her, along with some really great advice!
