Episode 118
Zen and the Art of Paper. That might be the name of Kelly Joy Ladd’s biography someday. At least her first one.
It’s a great interview where she gets into her creative process as well as the path that brought her to be a full-time artist. In a nutshell:
Step 1 – Meditate and wait for a vision of the piece
Step 2 – Have your husband develop an allergy to many chemicals
Step 3 – Three days after your first gallery show, your employer goes under
There’s a little more to it than that, and she likely wouldn’t recommend you do this exactly, but it did work for her.
