I had the pleasure of interviewing Kasia Avery, the cofounder of Everything Art and host of Wanderlust in this candid episode where she shares her art "origin story" and how Everything Art came into being!

Capturing the moment and sensations is everything to Kasia - her language is art. She paints, collages and art journals to figure out her past, present and future. She scribbles, spills, tears, paints and writes to let the emotions out. She asks questions and works out her answers through colour, texture, patterns and dynamic connections between contradictions. Kasia's work is a perfect reflection of her everyday reality - the colours and subjects reveal the connections that she makes between her past and now.

Kasia has taught mixed-media in-person and online since 2011. Kasia runs Everything Art Ltd together with her husband Jamie.
