Show Notes

This week, artist and graphic designer Kayla Rafferty joins Nicole to talk about her painting practice, which offers viewers an authentic, and celebratory depiction of fragmented bodily forms. By representing incomplete components, yet never the whole, Kayla reflects on her own journey through self-criticism and doubt, and the role art embodies in her life as a method of processing and making sense of the raw and emotional experiences that often define and shape our lives. Kayla discusses her warm and joy-filled appreciation for the process of painting, creating, and expression while celebrating and offering space for feeling your feelings, for reflecting on personal growth, and for celebrating selfhood.
