On the creative journey, it's easy to get lost, but don't worry, you'll lift up.

Sometimes you just need a creative pep talk.

Hey, you're listening to the Creative Pep Talk podcast, I'm your host, Andy J.

Pizza.

Today on the show, we have visual artist, intuitive philosopher, cultural facilitator, and much more, including choreographer,

Shantel Martin.

I've been a big fan of Shantel's work for a long time.

I love the kinetic feel of it.

I love even more that it has such a clear voice pulsing through every line in Mark that Shantel makes on the page,

as well as on the walls and on the projectors and everything in between.

I don't know many visual artists who have choreographed a ballet for the Boston Ballet,

but alone done collaborations with the likes of Kendrick Lamar.

Like, Shantel has done incredible things, but even more incredible than that is the honesty and authenticity and heart that Shantel puts into everything.

Taking a deep dive into Shantel's work and into this conversation with her,

sparks all kinds of different creative ideas.

I'm going to list a few at the end of the episode just to wrap it up, but I think you are going to get a lot of creative sparks yourself as you listen to this episode.

I hope you love it.

We'll get right to it, but first just a quick word from our sponsors.

Astro Pad, big thanks to our sponsor, Astro Pad, for being the sponsor and for being the ultimate iPad app for artists.

Astro Pad Studio turns your iPad into a drawing tablet by mirroring your favorite, your dang it mirroring your favorite Mac or PC desktop apps directly onto your iPad.

So much more direct than me saying the word mirror with Astro Pad Studio.
