Also available on Apple , Spotify, Google and all major podcasts apps.
San Diego-based artist Kat Furtado creates complex layered art out of beautiful, small moments of wonder. In this episode, Kat shares her journey from using art as a way to quiet her mind after the birth of her first child, to becoming a full time artist. It’s a jam-packed episode, full of small moments and unexpected side trips: the Netflix infinity documentary, hummingbirds, dinosaurs, and a few expected pit stops to talk about disability.

Guest Spotlight: Kat Furtado
Kat Furtado is a contemporary mixed-media artist from San Diego, California. Kat is a certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) with a Master's of Art in Communication Science and Disorders. Her background as an SLP informs her creative endeavors. Storytelling, emotions, and recurrent themes of humanity are woven with care into her ethereal, abstract artwork. To Furtado, art is an extension of non-verbal communication, and validation of the human experience. Because communication continues to be the only true link between sentient beings, Furtado creates art as an essential communicative endeavor.
