🎙 Guest: Kela @keladreams

In this episode, I sit down with Kela, a fine art, nature-based multimedia artist whose work integrates analogue photography, woodworking, and functional art. Inspired by the natural world, Kela creates custom, one-of-a-kind pieces—framed photography, picture frames, shadow boxes, and furniture-style works—designed to be experienced in person and engage multiple senses.

We talk about:

• Slowing down as an art form and how intentional time in nature helps us reset.
• Trusting intuition in creative practice and making work that’s deeply personal.
• Artist residencies & grants, and how they provide space to explore, build confidence, and sustain creative work.
• Vulnerability & confidence in artistry, embracing audacity, and learning to accept compliments without deflection.
• The power of community & storytelling, and how conversations lead to unexpected inspiration.
• How Kela’s background in analogue photography & woodworking evolved into her signature style.

This is a deep and thoughtful conversation on trusting your creative path, honoring your process, and building a practice that feels true to you.
