Thank you for joining me for today’s interview with Artist and President of the Board of Directors for San Luis Obispo County Arts, Neal Breton. We recorded this Episode two weeks prior to the tragic death of George Floyd. We chose not to air the episode these past few weeks so that we could listen, learn and educate ourselves, an on-going process.

We also wanted to offer a way to help the Black Lives Matter movement. If you are tuning in prior to June 21st head on over to the SLO County Arts Instagram feed this weekend where they will be holding an Art Auction in support of Black Lives Matter (100% of Funds Raised to go to R.A.C.E Matters SLO) to be held on their Instagram page, @slocountyarts, June 19th-June 21st, 2020.

In today’s Episode with Neal Breton, we talk about his creative journey as a fine artist and what brought him to the Central Coast where he now not only paints but is also the President of the Board of Directors for the San Luis Obispo Arts Council. Neal’s colorful pools and landscapes just make me happy! I was so excited to find him and learn more about why he paints and the evolution of his art. We both believe in the power of Art as a way to bring joy into the world. Something much needed right now. We also talk about the changing art scene on the Central Coast which I hope will only get better and better with Neal leading the way.
