This weeks episode asks the question: If you could separate the art from the artist, would you want to?

Laurent and Elyse sit down with founder of Art of Elysium Jennifer Howell to talk about navigating the personalities of creatives and artists while prioritizing the creative process and the sharing of art. Art of Elysium works to provide art resources to those unable to reach them otherwise, working with kids to help grow their inner artist and provide them the freedom and inspiration to make their dreams a reality. Jenn speaks candidly about her own healing process through art, her connection to spirituality and finding purpose through creation. From meditations inspired by David Lynch to her close personal relationships with famed (and infamous) actors, writers, and musicians, Jennifer Howell doesn't hold back on sharing what drives her to keep supporting art, in all its mediums, in spite of the human darkness and ego that can complicate our relationship with it.

This episode is filmed and recorded on-location at the Kimberly Denman Showroom in Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA
