In this episode, I sit down with Kim Thomas, a powerful multimedia artist whose work bridges climate change, nature, and consumer culture—literally turning single-use plastics into thought-provoking sculptures, installations, and prints. Kim shares her journey from biochemistry major to artist, her creative practice rooted in reclaiming materials, and how art becomes a tool for sustainability, healing, and empowerment.
We explore what it means to carve your own damn path—especially as a working artist, parent, and teacher—and how setting boundaries, embracing flexibility, and honoring your creative voice is essential. Kim’s work challenges us to rethink what we consume, how we live, and how we care for ourselves and the planet.
