In the News
“Serena Kovalosky wants to do for art what Anthony Bourdain did for international food: guide her audience through an often unknown world until it’s accepted and maybe even embraced.”
“Determined to extinguish the term ‘starving artist’ in our culture, Kovalosky encourages artists to live their passion and to stand up and own the fact that we do, indeed, think differently than the majority of the population, and that our way of ‘seeing’ is an asset.”
“Kovalosky continually engages her readers with uplifting stories of an artist’s life. Her blog is informative and empathetic to the legion of artists in her network.”
“Throughout our life we have heard people say that it is important to follow your dreams. The reality is that in order to do this one must look deep inside themselves to take that step of giving up a secure paycheque and a predictible lifestyle. To face the unpredictable and take that leap into the unknown, requires both courage and faith. Serena Kovalosky is one of those individuals.”
