In mid-October, I had the good fortune of collaborating with the wonderful team over at SoulPancake in LA. Originally founded by Rainn Wilson (you might know him as Dwight Schrute from The Office), SoulPancake is a media company dedicated to blurring the lines among art, spirituality, philosophy, and creativity.
Aside from their incredible website, fabulous book, and recent mini-series with Oprah (what!?), these guys somehow find the time to dive into artist's studios and document the process of making artwork, start to finish.
We shot over a two day period, allowing the paint to dry (sort of) overnight. The theme I chose was "memory", and the image I painted from was a picture of my dad's vacation home in Iran.
I talk about the significance of the image and share some thoughts on memory in the interview here:

A huge thanks to all the fabulous minds and generous spirits at SoulPancake. I feel so lucky to be a part of this awesome series.
