Get Back Into The Flow (with Special Guest Valyntina Grenier) - a podcast by Preston M. Smith (PMS Artwork)

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston talks about getting back into the flow and prioritizing presence in our lives and art. We get so busy and stressed these day, that sometimes we end up simply going through the motions. This can really affect the quality and tone of our work and character. Learn how to witness when you get out of flow, so you can direct yourself back into a state of presence. This episode also features a special guest appearance from Arizona based artist and poet Valyntina Grenier! Enjoy.
