The ARTPOWER Podcast
The ARTPOWER Podcast is a show that delves into the lives of working artists and the intricate dance between sustaining financial well-being and nurturing their creative practice.

Owning Your Path with Lenka Clayton
This month, janera solomon talks to Lenka Clayton, an interdisciplinary artist whose work considers, exaggerates, and alters the accepted rules of everyday life, extending the familiar into the realms of the poetic and absurd.
Lenka shares the differences between supporting herself financially as an artist living in the US after emigrating from the UK, how she fuels her own internal engine to create, and her advice to young artists on not accepting the path laid out for you.
Find Lenka Clayton on Instagram @lenkaclaytonstudio and on her website, lenkaclayton.com, or at An Artist Residency in Motherhood.
