We have a very special guest—someone who's traveled the world, built awe-inspiring art installations, and yet, his heart has brought him home.

Patrick Shearn, the visionary artist behind Poetic Kinetics, is joining us to talk about his roots here in the Springs, the creative upbringing that shaped his work, and his latest immersive exhibit, Psycullescence, at the UCCS Ent Center for the Arts.

From sprawling fields in the Black Forest to epic public art installations across the globe, Patrick shares his journey, his vision for Colorado Springs' creative future, and how collaboration and connection fuel his process.

If you’ve ever wondered about the magic of art that transforms a space—and a community—then this episode is for you.
