In this inspiring episode of Painterly Life, host Shannon Grissom sits down with award-winning artist Trowzers Akimbo to explore the rich tapestry of his creative journey. Growing up in the bohemian heart of Venice Beach, Trowzers was immersed in art from an early age, eventually carrying that foundation into his formative years at art school and a dynamic career in television, advertising, and animation.
Trowzers opens up about how these diverse experiences—along with his Hispanic heritage—shape the bold, vibrant color palette he’s known for today. He shares insights into his evolving artistic process, navigating both representational and abstract styles with curiosity and intention. Throughout the conversation, he reflects on the discipline required to sustain a creative life and the deep sense of purpose and joy that emerges from staying dedicated to one’s craft.
This episode is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and lifelong artistic growth. Perfect for artists and art lovers looking for a dose of inspiration.
