Nov 12

In this episode, I talk with Colombian artist and designer Leslie Braginsky about gratitude, harmony, and the power of bringing art into local communities.

Leslie shares her journey from Colombia to the United States, how gratitude has shaped her creative practice, and how she began creating inclusive, meditative coloring books that celebrate women of all backgrounds and body types.

Together, we explore how to reconnect with creativity for joy instead of pressure, how to find balance between art, business, and personal life, and how community art gatherings can inspire connection and healing.

Before the interview, I reflect on balance and alignment and invite artists to submit work to Create! Magazine’s Winter Solstice 2026 Print Issue, curated by Sarah Potter. This issue celebrates transformation, renewal, and the return of light through the dark.
