Summary
Kirk tells us about his path to becoming an artist, how many people told him not to be an artist, and the promise he made to God about how he'd give back if he found success. We talk about what makes art break through the LDS bubble, how each of us defines creative success, and how critique can be a form of worship. You can see his work IRL at Provo's Compass Gallery until September 28th. Or check him out on: - Instagram - His website - His art gallery
