Lynn sits down with her first visual artist, Peter Van Dyck. They talk about the act of making art of various mediums, the inevitable self focus of the artist, the challenges to enter "flow" and focus, the difference between teaching and coaching, and seeing beauty in everything.

"Bravery by definition has to be stupid. If you knew you were going to be okay, it isn't brave!" - Peter Van Dyck

Peter Van Dyck is an American painter, draftsman and general life-enthusiast living part-time in Philadelphia, PA and part-time in Elba, AL. His website states: "My primary practice is the making of oil paintings but I also make drawings, do home improvement projects of dubious quality and contemplate the nature of existence to the irritation of my family and friends." He also teaches painting and drawing at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts among other places.
