People Making Thingss
A weekly series that captures honest portraits of people who make things. Host Mariah Krey tracks down makers of all forms, from state fair butter sculptors to traditional bulrush weavers to self-taught furniture designers, for an intimate glimpse into their process and the moments that shaped who they are today.
So give us a listen for in-depth (and a bit cheeky) conversations that explore process, meaning and most importantly the lives of the human(s) behind the things.

Surrendering to the Seasons of Life with Painter Ash Roberts
Ash Roberts is one to watch. With clients like Festen Architecture and ROWSE Beauty, the LA-based contemporary painter is most known for her beautiful and meditative nature motifs.
Ahead of Robert's upcoming exhibition Past Life(s) @francisgallery, opening on February 23 in Los Angeles, we visited her studio to chat about her work and the moments that shaped who she is today.
In this conversation, we explore leaning into the discomfort in order to bridge the gap between taste and skill, trusting your intuition, and the peace of surrendering to your inner child. Roberts even shares a special memory from when she was 10 years old and Robert Redford purchased one of her paintings of a toucan at a local coffee shop in Saratoga Springs, New York.
