<p>Being an artist can be lonely work. Not only do we often work alone, but we frequently find ourselves in community with people who may not have as intimate a relationship with their own creativity as we do. Sometimes we don&rsquo;t know how to talk about our creative work, and our loved ones don&rsquo;t know how to ask about it. If our friends don&rsquo;t know how to ask why we love the things we love, and we don&rsquo;t know how to bridge the gap from our side, then how can we be truly known?</p> <p>In this episode, Kyra and Jamin are joined by Orion Dyson-Smith in a conversation that explores being known. Along the way they discuss questions they wish people would ask them, their favorite paint color pairings, and fishing.</p> <p>Orion Dyson-Smith is a part time nurse anesthetist and part time visual artist, working with graphite, watercolor, and oil paint. He earned a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts from Wichita State University in 2005 and currently lives and works in Wichita, Kansas.</p> <p>You can learn more about Orion and view some of his work at <a href="https://oriondysonsmith.squarespace.com/">oriondysonsmith.squarespace.com</a> and on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oriondysonsmith/">instagram.com/oriondysonsmith</a>.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
