Don't Stop - When to Quit, When to Experiment, and Why You Shouldn't Stop with Special Guest Andrea Jenkins

This week, we’re joined by artist Andrea Jenkins, whose creative journey has taken her from painting in a hyper-realistic style to embracing bold, abstract expression.

We talk about the music that fuels her work, the joy and freedom she’s found since becoming a full-time artist, and the power of finding your creative tribe when you work alone. Andrea shares why she retired early from teaching art, the compromises creatives sometimes face between making money and making art, and the advice she’d give to anyone wanting to start now — no matter their age or experience.

It’s an honest, joyful conversation about reinvention, persistence, and trusting the creative process.
