   The Art of the Violin: Jake Reynolds

   Artists come in all walks of life. For instance, this week listen to lawyer Jake Reynolds talk about his love for land conservation, a little about Eagle Scouting and his love for music via the violin. Echoing previous conversations about combatting vicarious trauma, Jake’s approach to using the arts for mindfulness and healing is one from which we can all learn.

   The Art of Hats: Cynthia Gutierrez-Krapp

   Self described as “well rounded in her trauma”, Cynthia Gutierrez-Krapp practices arts that bring her healing energy. Her work with bespoke hats provides those who buy them a level of cool and comfort and style unobtainable anywhere in the Borderland. Aaron knows because he bought one. Her large scale fabric and beading art that references her Native First People heritage appeared at the Rubin Center through July and she just opened her brick and mortar hat shop. Also, hear Avery’s take on nature’s color stories and his rainbow squid hat.
