Listen here: https://mailchi.mp/a9460eb824c5/harveyatharvey-episode-4-kristenbalouch When she was just 17 years old Kristen, a brave, forward-looking young woman with a vague idea that she could build a creative life in New York City, left home and followed her inner muse to Brooklyn. Decades later, she’s a prolific self-employed artist whose body of work encompasses objects, furniture, illustration, writing, textile design, and yes, parenting. Gifted with an intensely curious mind Kristen seems to always be busy, busy, busy, creating new works not out of ego, but a desire or perhaps more accurately a compulsion, to share stories. In all its varied forms Kristen’s work tells gentle and whimsical yet profound stories that empower children and adults. Her own story is told more through her creations than through words and her manifestations of creativity bring joy to the world.... —Bill Harvey
