Welcome back to 'A Sculpted Life' podcast Season 2 with Pal Tiya International Host Yvonne Anderson. We've got a great interview for you today with Sculptor & Art Teacher Amber Geneva Erkiletian in Vermont. This is Part 1 because we wanted to keep these to around 35 minutes each :)

In this episode you'll learn: *How a health diagnosis caused Amber to become artistically blocked and how she overcame this. *How she started her art class ‘Fast, Cheap and Out of Control’ *How she began searching for her students how they could begin to put their art outside at their request. *How Amber believes the audience finishes what the artist has made. *Whether you feel something has failed or not is not your job, your job is to create the work.

Don't forget to tune in next Tuesday for Part 2 of this interview!

Special thanks to Lance Lones for his vocal intro and outro!
