In Episode 62 of Happy Time Craftcast, I chat with Florida-based artist and animal lover Samm Wehman about her colorful journey into full-time painting, her love for manatees and monarch butterflies, and how she transforms reclaimed materials into eco-friendly art. This heartwarming convo is all about creativity, conservation, and the joy of living authentically.

In Episode 61 of Happy Time Craftcast, I sit down with Minnesota artist Emily Victory, whose bold acrylics blend geometry, math, and vibrant patterns into pure magic.

In Episode 59 of Happy Time Craftcast, I sit down with the wonderfully talented K. Woodman-Maynard — watercolor artist, cartoonist, and the creator behind the stunning new graphic novel adaptation of Tuck Everlasting.
