I’m chatting with US based artist Denise Gasser.  I first discovered Denise via her ‘Art After’ project which is all about reconciling art and motherhood in the most unique and inspiring way.  I then progressed to going down a rabbit hole of watching Denise’s IGTV’s and just knew that I HAD to have this inspiring woman on the podcast.
