About this listen

On this episode of Crafting Human™, painter and educator Gabriel Islas reflects on plein air painting: working in the landscape where weather, time, discomfort, and imperfection shape both the process and the outcome.

Together, we explore his journey and growth as an artist, which has taught him to trust in the moments and process, even when the scale or stakes felt intimidating.

Crafting Human™ is a space for conversations that go beyond aesthetics to explore what it means to create and cultivate our humanity in a world increasingly shaped by speed and automation.

In this episode:
– Discomfort as a catalyst for creative growth
– Letting go of perfection in the making process
– Presence, imperfection, and working with place
