In this podcast episode, I interview watercolor artist and illustrator Volta Voloshin-Smith.
Volta began drawing as a child and after graduating high school, she used photography to create surrealist worlds similar to that of famous artist Salvador Dali as she made her way through business school.
She realized that art was the only thing that made her soul come to life. So she quit her job to freelance and work her way up as an emerging artist in Dallas.
