Working Artist

Maren Less (http://maren-less.squarespace.com/) is an artist & personal assistant and adjunct professor by day and a painter by night. Currently, she paints on her kitchen floor. 

“Painting has been helping me a lot (to) exit a bit of slump...It really helps force joy upon you. That’s been very uplifting.” 

Kelly Kuykendall is an interdisciplinary artist. To make money, her day job included but not limited to: props stylist and fabricator, farmers market vendor,  barn hand, nanny, and art teacher. 

“(It’s) like treading water, like you are in the pool, and you are just in the middle of the water...trying to keep your head up. All the time, no place to rest.”
