b"We're officially getting into the swing of things this season and today\\u2019s show is our first full-length episode featuring the first ever CYOP Artist Resident, Melanie Biehle. Melanie is an artist and\\xa0designer\\xa0based in the Seattle area whose work is full of bright colors and bold patterns.\\n\\nIn the episode, we talk about Melanie\\u2019s long and winding path to becoming an artist, the process behind the work she creates, and why she isn\\u2019t emotionally tied to the term fine artist. One of the things I find most intriguing about Melanie is how open she is to trying new things\\u2014from new mediums to interesting sales channels. We also talk about how that mindset was expressed in her application for the CYOP Artist Residency and why she was ultimately the best fit for the show\\u2019s fourth season. \\xa0\\n\\nShe\\u2019s incredibly talented, kind, and funny and I\\u2019m really looking forward to working with her this year.\\n\\nSHOW NOTES:\\n\\n-Check out Melanie's art\\n-Melanie on Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter\\n-Alt Summit\\n-Minted\\n-Society6\\n-RedBubble\\n-Saatchi Art\\n-The Creative Digest (w/ access to the new Slack Community!)\\n\\nAs always, you can find all recent and past episodes of Creating Your Own Path at creatingyourownpath.com."
