In this episode of the WAM podcast, we introduce teaching artist Luz Helena, who leads the Design Course for WAM SAP grantees. She shares insights on art, healing, teaching, and personal growth. Later, we feature Brandi Reyna, a plein air painter using the FY25 SAP grant to expand her work. From earth to easel, she blends art and nature, with plans to incorporate gardening, farming, and people into her evolving creative practice.
