Show Notes

Mixed-media artist Denise Shives joins Editor in Chief Susan Harold for an inspiring conversation about imposter syndrome, the winding road of the creative journey and the art of building a life rooted in patience and passion.

Tucked inside a pole barn behind her home in Walla Walla, Washington, Denise’s art studio and occasional shop reflect years of chasing dreams, working hard and trusting the process. A mixed-media artist and creator of The Pocket Lady, Denise shares how she found her voice, embraced her calling and created a space filled with the things she loves—each piece telling a story of resilience and growth.

In this episode, Denise opens up about overcoming self-doubt as an artist, the evolution of her creative path and the meaningful details that make her studio a true reflection of her heart and work.
