I have spent my life as a creative and around creatives as well. In my recent conversation with the president and one of the founders of the Outdoor Museum of Art in Denver, Cynthia Madden Leitner, we talked a little bit about connecting with our muse as a creative. I share a little about how I connect with my muse and my creative spirit, and I wanted to share that in a little more depth today for anyone who may find it useful.

I’ve seen brilliant creatives completely paralyzed by their own potential for genius up close many times in my life. These experiences challenged me to find ways to have a healthy “muse connection practice,” if you will, in my own endeavors. And here is what I have learned…please take what resonates.

Filmmaker and father of 3 girls, David Chavez is a shining example of what it looks like when you choose yourself instead of waiting for someone else to choose you or create your path. Born and raised in NYC, filmmaking called to him at an early age but after working on the set of Iron Man 2 and Bad Boys 3, he knew that he wanted to create something of his own instead of following in the conventional paths.

Cut to present day, Chavez, has created some truly special waves in Colorado as a filmmaker. He is the co-founder of both Maxxed Out Films and the 72 Hour Kickass Film Fest, bringing filmmakers all across Colorado together, creating opportunities for creation and growth on their own terms. This year there were over 40 short films submitted to the 72 Hour Kickass Film Fest, which when you realize that each film team has 10+ people involved, says a lot about the growing film community in Colorado.

I met Chavez a few months ago when I was asked to do the score for one of the films for Kickass, 2012. I am super honored to also have been nominated for my film score work…the awards show is on May 3rd…I’ll keep you posted.

This conversation is special for so many reasons and I cannot wait for you to extract the gems and takeaways from our conversation. If you know someone whom you think may find this conversation inspiring, please share this with them.

I’m so excited to share this beautiful conversation with Cynthia Madden Leitner, President and Founding Executive Director of the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Denver.

Cynthia co-founded MOA in 1981 with her parents, John W. Madden Jr. and Marjorie Madden, with a vision of a “museum without walls” bringing art into everyday spaces. What began with 12 sculptures has grown into more than 85 installations across the Denver metro area, and her work has earned her the Colorado Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.

In this episode, we talk about sacred geometry, following your creative path, carrying a family legacy, and what it really means to devote your life to beauty.

This conversation left me smiling long after it ended… I hope it brings you that same sense of inspiration and joy.

Xo,

Greta
