It was a dream come true to sit down with writer Peter Gaucys, co-proprietor of the delightful Orcas Paley in downtown Seattle, and my dear friends, longtime mentors, and one of the most brilliant creatives I’ve ever known. 

This episode ranges widely (as is our wont), but we kick off with a conversation about conversations, and touch on all kinds of other topics, including eclecticism, multidisciplinary artistic practice, palimpsests, and ghosts. I absolutely adore talking with Peter, and when you listen, I think you’ll know why. <3

As always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
