This week we sat down with our New Old Friend Kimberly Duran known as “SHMI”. In this episode, we touched on how she became a visual artist and muralist, “Nacho Libre”, her first mural, and finding her partner in crime in art. It was awesome hearing how a teacher helped her believe in her art, how she grew up fast at a young age, working on her personal art collection after hours, and why she thinks art school is not for everyone. We also touched on becoming religious, growing up in Santa Ana, moving a lot as a child and who inspires her art. Make sure to check out SHMI on social media and support her by sharing her work and any photos you take of her walls. We hope you enjoy this episode!
