Hello it's Antries and welcome to another episode of the Sabby Painter

podcast. If you are new to this podcast, welcome. I started the savvy

painter podcast way back in 2014. I had just finished this

huge project. It was called a Portrait of Argentina. I spent two years painting landscapes and portraits throughout the 23 provinces of Argentina.

It was my way of really getting to know my new home.

And wow, that was an incredible journey. So many adventures, so many

beautiful landscapes, and really wonderful people along the way. After I

wrapped that project up, I started feeling a little bit antsy and I knew I had to start

something else.

It's just how my brain works.

I think that part of me came from working for so many years at Disney

art directing video games. I just got used to working on large-scale

projects that last years I guess I don't know but I just needed to do something

new. Anyway that's kind of how this

podcast started. I was itching for a new project and I never really got used to being

away from the artist community that I had in Los Angeles, so I decided to create my own.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into or where this would lead me.

But here I am, six years later, the podcast is still going strong and I cannot

imagine my life without this community. You mean so much to me. I have a great show for you today. Jivon Lee is with me.

Jivon paints large-scale landscapes around his home in Taos, New Mexico.

Before we get too far in though, I want to give a big shout out and thank you to Mary Mon

Kennedy. Mary Mon is a growth studio member who connected me with Duvan.
