I met Amanda Trask over 20 years ago. We sat next to each other in drawing class junior and senior year of high school- where I doodled caricatures of our drawing teacher while Amanda created masterpieces. Shout out to Mr Salinas- sorry for me and you’re welcome for Amanda 

Amanda’s talent was evident even back then. She’d blow the class away with her portraits of Johnny Depp and Chris Farley- which are still vividly ingrained in my brain. Through the years, she has continued to deeply inspire me with her incredible talents and gentle heart.

Not only is Amanda an amazing artist but she’s also a devoted mom to a 16 year old child who has special needs. The hurdles that Amanda has overcome should not be underestimated. The conversations we have had through the years have been immensely helpful and inspiring and I knew I had to have her on the podcast.

I want to also thank everyone who is listening, liking, sharing, or downloading the podcast. This project has given me a purpose in a time when I needed something creative to hold onto. Thank you so much for being part of our family. Please be gentle with yourselves today and see you again tomorrow for the full episode!
