Gretchen Baer is a master at synthesizing negatives into positives. So much so that she has internalized this synthesis into a practice that guides her entire life. Take her Border Bedazzlers project as an example…she saw an ugly and divisive border wall and created a project to turn it into an art canvas, that amazingly evolved into her Mariposa art and music school for under-served kids in the Mexican border town of Naco.

I really learned a lot from Gretchen about how to create a holistic approach to living a creative life. I hope you get as much out of our chat as I did.
