Click on the white arrow to listen to the podcast in this browser

For the past 18 years, artist Amy O. Woodbury has been hosting an Annual Front Yard Art Sale over a weekend. The idea started one morning in a yoga class, and she literally decided to “just do it” thanks to a nudge from a neighbor. This annual sale has become many things other than just a sale; the chance to connect with community, garner much-needed feedback, deadlines, income and more! Listeners in the Chicagoland area invited; 9/2 & 9/3, 9a-5p, 1931 Colfax Street. Rain date, 9/4.



In this conversation we cover where Amy discovered painting and how it became part of her everyday life, maintaining a daily schedule, regardless of mood or weather.
