Evelyn Dufner is not just an artist; she is a storyteller. When she says, “Embrace the mess,” it is a challenge for all us to be creative, open, fun, and to be in the moment. As an artist, she wears many hats to express her unlimited creative energy. In this episode, we have a fun and energizing conversation with Evelyn about her life as an artist and what drives her to produce an average of 50+ paintings a year.

As you listen to Evelyn, you can feel her enthusiasm, passion, and compassion for her art, and her intuitive drive. She continues to be a creative force in the art community through photography, artist journaling, social media, and other avenues that give her work a voice.
