Exploring Self-Discovery and Cultural Identity through Art with Ayala
Manage episode 378147956 series 3515690
Join me, Wesley Hamilton, for a heart-to-heart chat with talented visual artist Ayala. Ayala's artwork tells her personal story of reconnecting with her roots and her love for painting, and it's so powerful that big names like Coca-Cola and Comcast have taken notice.
We'll dive deep into how teaching herself and embracing her Latino heritage have shaped her work and life. Ayala's art gives a voice to those often overlooked, highlighting the challenges and beauty of identity in today's world.
We'll also explore the healing power of art and how Ayala uses it to understand herself better. She'll share her beliefs about staying true to oneself, dreaming big, and connecting with the past. And for a fun twist, we'll find out which three artists, from any period, she'd love to have dinner with. Curious?
Take a listen to the episode.
