In this episode of The Collective Thread, Leili and Kerry sit down with local artist and father, Dan Gaube. Dan shares his journey into fatherhood with the birth of his son, and how that experience continues to shape his art, his perspective, and his connection to community. He reflects on the path that led him into becoming an artist, weaving in the themes of presence and nature that run through his work and his life. This is a conversation about creativity, belonging, and the ways life’s most profound transitions can deepen our awareness of what truly matters.
