EPISODE NOTES:
This week we travel to Colorado’s capital city to meet Mai Wyn Schantz, a painter from Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe, Colorado Certified.
Early on Mai Wyn’s dad shared with her, “you can do whatever you want, but what are you going to give people?” She never really thought about art as giving back, but she finds that it actually gives back in a huge way – if it can bring joy to somebody and uplift their spirits, it’s a pretty powerful thing.
What are you giving to people through your own work? Please consider sharing your thoughts in the comments below!
