Dana Brock is an artist from Plano, Texas, working out of a gorgeous studio in the Millhouse in McKinney. She has work in 3 galleries currently. She was recently juried into the 60th annual membership exhibition of the Southwestern Watercolor Society.

Confession; I made a mistake. I asked all my questions and ended the podcast recording. THEN, we talked another hour. It was the nicest and most inspiring conversation, but you'll have to trust me on that. I'm learning that I should record "after the show" as well and include edited tidbits for listeners. I apologize. Dana was a treat! Enjoy this short and sweet episode!

Meet Celeste Seitz, an artist from my hometown of McKinney, Texas. Her mediums include Japanese calligraphy, street art, murals, and sculpture. When I said in the intro that she was a renaissance woman, I didn't even realize how much so until we talked! She's so interesting and I know you'll be as fascinated as I was.
