Welcome to Season 2, Episode 8 of Between the Threads.

In this engaging episode, host Somia Sadiq sits down with Rachel Lancaster, a Winnipeg-based self-taught artist and muralist, for an inspiring conversation about the power of creativity and artistic expression. Together, they explore Rachel’s quirky journey from a country farm childhood to human resource management, and ultimately to full-time mural artistry.
