Today we are meeting a talented creative that I have been Insta-stalking for a long time! I was pretty tickled that she offered to be a part of my Summer or Inspiration Series this year and I’m honored to have gotten to ask her all the questions I had.

You’ll love the tips that Sheri shared with me about entering quits into shows and the story of Whole Circle Studio.  (Continue reading…)

I know you’re going to enjoy my chat with Sue and leave wildly inspired—I sure did! (Continue reading…)
