Artist Kristine Mays’ first introduction to Serenbe happened totally by chance, when Steve attended the opening of her exhibition, Rich Soil, at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Now, Serenbe is the latest stop in this stunning traveling show, which comprises 29 metal wire sculptures, all of which are full of life and movement. Set in the woods at Deer Hollow Park, these pieces are meant to evoke a number of things - feminine energy, agriculture, nature, soil - with meanings as varied as the viewers themselves. In this episode, Steve and Monica catch up with Kristine about finding rejuvenation in nature, the path that led her to becoming a full-time artist, and where Rich Soil will travel next. Show Notes<ul><li><a href='https://kristinemays.com/home.html'>Kristine Mays</a></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/kristinemays/'>Kristine Mays Instagram</a></li><li><a href='https://www.artfarmatserenbe.org/'>Art Farm at Serenbe</a></li><li><a href='https://www.gloplatform.org/'>Glo </a></li><li><a href='https://atlantabg.org/'>Atlanta Botanical Garden</a></li><li><a href='https://www.alvinailey.org/'>Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater</a></li><li><a href='https://filoli.org/'>Filoli Historic House &amp; Garden</a></li><li><a href='https://hillwoodmuseum.org/'>Hillwood Estate Museum &amp; Garden</a></li><li><a href='https://blueeyeddaisybakeshop.com/'>Blue Eyed Daisy</a></li></ul>
