In this fun podcast episode, we sit down with Miro Kenarov, one-half of the talented Bulgarian-born artist couple behind the unique Canvas on Clay project. We delve deep into their artistic journey, from their early days in Bulgaria to their inspiring life in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and how their contrasting backgrounds have come together to create an extraordinary fusion of art forms. Miro shares their insights on the creative process behind Canvas on Clay, the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between their personal and professional lives, and the impact of their experiences at the Tamarind Institute on their artistic practice. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities of working with mixed media, the significance of being designated as a "Trusted ART Seller," and their recent record-breaking Mother's Day sale with ASF's new Co-Pilot Service. This episode is packed with valuable advice for artists looking to collaborate, explore new mediums, and achieve recognition in the art world. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Miro and Maria's experiences and gain a fresh perspective on the art of collaboration.If you're interested in Co-Pilot, be sure to sign up here!
