In this episode, I am joined by one of the South's most prolific contemporary artists and muralists, Kollet Hardeman. Having made a name for herself in Tallahassee with her pop art and murals blanketing the city, I catch up with her after her move to Austin, Texas.

In this episode, I talk to renowned multi-media and resin artist Quia Atkinson (QZDesigngallery.com) and learn about what has inspired her to create her beautiful artwork.
