The Artist in Everyday Life

I have many ideas. Too many, really.

Like the essay I want to write about being a Korean immigrant kid experiencing America’s national parks.

Or enrolling in East Asia studies classes via UC Berkeley’s extension program.

Or learning Chinese characters.

But one idea has persisted over several years: the artist in everday life.

I know so many writers, musicians, painters, dancers, filmmakers, and so on, who are serious artists and yet are also living in life’s rich and complicated realities: a day job, caring for children, caring for aging parents, dealing with illness and other traumas.

I would like to equip and celebrate such artists with a website and podcast.

I have the vision, the web and podcasting skills, and even the people I’d want to highlight. Now all I need to find is the bandwidth!
