Shantell Martin on Drawing, Decisions, and Creating Across Difference

Sarah Jones and Shantell Martin

Visual artist Shantell Martin (www.shantellmartin.art) draws on everything. She’s done live-drawing in venues from music halls to MIT, and created art on cars, sunglasses, and even human bodies. Now, Shantell joins Sarah Jones and her characters for a Playdate where they explore how to follow the line of your own life, how to find the courage to create, and how to find your 'yes' by saying 'no.'
