The Jealous Curator : ART FOR YOUR EAR
Art For Your Ear is a podcast hosted by Danielle Krysa, also known as The Jealous Curator, featuring conversations with contemporary artists. Each episode explores the inside stories behind artists' work, including what inspired them, what was happening in their personal lives, and behind-the-scenes details about other artists they know. Listeners hear first-hand from talented, successful full-time artists who are also relatable people with funny stories. The show aims to share these artists' stories before they become part of art history.

Today's artsy investigation takes a look into the WHY and HOW behind "ART and JOY", and oh so much more. If you've ever wanted to write a book but aren't sure how to get started, or you're curious about why I made the jump from adult art books to kids' books, all of the answers await!

Since these are two pretty big questions, I've brought in TWO creative experts to help me crack this case!

Today's investigation is a two-parter ... A) When every day of the week feels too busy for creativity, how do you prevent freezing up when there is a window of time?
