  <itunes:subtitle>If you had a neurological disorder that caused you to sleep more than normal and have vivid and intense dreams you might think of that as a serious problem with no upside. But for Flip Solomon it has become the source of her artwork in which she explores timeless themes and symbols with a goal of healing and connecting people on a basic, fundamental level. Hear her story and consider how you might look at your own problems as solutions.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Flip Solomon grew up with art being at the center of her world but after leaving home found herself exploring everything else life has to offer for many years. But with the arrival of her daughter and the necessity of self care and meditation, to manage her newly intensified narcolepsy, she found her passion for creating art again and started translating the themes and symbols found in her very vivid dreams into epic, touching, and timeless pen and ink drawings. In the last five years she has built up a successful art business selling originals, prints, and a whole line of products based on her images. It's an inspirational story about how to turn a problem into a solution and help others in the process.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the subjects we discuss:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her upbringing and parents influence &lt;br&gt;
High School and college&lt;br&gt;
Taking a big break from art&lt;br&gt;
Having a baby&lt;br&gt;
Living with Narcolepsy&lt;br&gt;
Starting to draw again&lt;br&gt;
Getting older&lt;br&gt;
Meditating&lt;br&gt;
Sleep and dreams&lt;br&gt;
Passion and connection&lt;br&gt;
Needing lots of sleep&lt;br&gt;
Turning a negative into a positive&lt;br&gt;
Getting info from dreams&lt;br&gt;
Finding a voice&lt;br&gt;
Themes and symbols&lt;br&gt;
Darkest before dawn&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Where to find Filp's work:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her current series ‘&lt;strong&gt;Darkest Before Dawn&lt;/strong&gt;’ is at &lt;strong&gt;Book People&lt;/strong&gt; until the end of January.  In February it goes to &lt;strong&gt;Black Feather Vintage&lt;/strong&gt; on Springdale Rd. behind Dimension Gallery, with a Pre-Valentine’s Day Event the weekend of February 10th.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, there are some large canvases going to the &lt;strong&gt;Hye Rum Distillery&lt;/strong&gt; in Hye, TX on the 290 Wine Trail.  And in San Marcos, there are some large canvases on display at &lt;strong&gt;One and Only Tattoo&lt;/strong&gt; on the Square.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her work’s available year round at &lt;strong&gt;Austin Art Garage&lt;/strong&gt; and the big events in November and December are &lt;strong&gt;EAST&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Blue Genie&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar&lt;/strong&gt;.
