Season 8 of Catanation Studios has arrived with a new feel, new logo, but the same purpose.

We are starting with Thao Huynh French, an artist/muralist here in San Diego who shares about her mental health and struggles with racism growing up, and now having her art in this community making a difference doing what she loves, that being art. We also get into the business of Mindful Murals and behind the scenes how how that began.

I found out about Thao's work through word of mouth, as well as walking through San Diego as many of her murals can be spotted in the city. It was a true honor to have Thao on my show, and I hope you hear her story.

Closing off this Season of Catanation Studios, we got to Border X in the middle of The Piñata Festival with Andy Gonzalez. Andy has been heavily involved with so many events in San Diego, & here we hear from all of them.

Andy shares about San Diego Latino Film Festival, coming from Los Angeles, to even the hunt for the best birria in San Diego. Most importantly we share how important is has been for both of us to bring artists in San Diego together.

I would honestly say that a good portion of this Season as well as last season wouldn't have happened without Andy. This is why I am so glad to have Andy close out this great Season.
