In this episode of Dwelling in Magic I get to chat with the amazing artist Nicole Wickens!!! Nicole moves through the world in such a beautiful way -- she listens to her spirit and bids it's callings in a way that few others do. Nicole creates beautiful photographs, videos and drawings and is a natural entrepreneur.....she's a very smart and savvy business minded woman. Nicole is also free-spirited, adventurous wanderer -- she is filled with curiosity and attentive to her callings; and follows those nudges from the universe. I am a huge fan of who she is and what she creates....and I know you will be too!!

In this episode I get the opportunity to chat with the AMAZING outsider artist Isaiah Zagar. With hundreds of mosaic murals scattered in alleyways and climbing up buildings throughout South Philadelphia and beyond, and the astounding outsider art environment Philadelphia's Magic Garden's, Isaiah is an icon. He and his wife Julia are royalty on South Street where they worked and lived since 1968. The life they have created together is dazzling and pulses with vitality and connection. I am in awe of them both...today you will hear a bit of Isaiah's story, and how it feels to be 84 and at a new stage of life. He is authentic and honest and shares his vulnerability in such a beautiful way. There is so much to be inspired by -- and you will likely leave with a deep sense of gratitude and awe. I know I did.
