In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Becky Barsi and Joe Acone sit down with Dave Hady, a New Hampshire-based painter, designer, and director whose work spans murals, public art, and an evolving studio practice.

Dave has built a career creating bold, highly visible work for brands and public spaces, but his recent shift into painting marks a more personal turn. In this episode, we talk about that transition from client work to self-driven work, how his background in design shapes his approach to painting, and what it looks like to take creative risks in a very public-facing career.

Learn more about Dave and his work, including his paintings, murals, and involvement with the Factory on Willow artist residency in Manchester, NH, at www.davidhady.com. Follow him on Instagram at www.instagram.com/davehady.
