It’s A Creativity Thing |
 |
Watch an Interview with Ken Leap |
|
 |
|
Reimagine Runnemede President, Ken Leap, recently sat down with LAURI ANDREACCHIO, Host of It’s A Creativity Thing, to talk about his 30-year-career as a stained glass artist, a public muralist, and a teacher of the arts. In the interview Ken ruminates on his extensive creative journey including aspects of his artistic process and passion projects such as his nonprofit venture to beautify the community of Runnemede, NJ, and his recent deep dive into the “flow art” of fire spinning. Key takeaways from the conversation are the artist’s fascinating insights for living and creating your best life. To view this not-to-be-missed interview click the link below. |
