Monday Jan 22, 2024
Fate led me to encounter an incredibly talented woman and her two equally gifted sisters at a Holiday Party during her rare visit. Engaging in conversation, I was captivated, and it became evident that I had to feature this remarkable woman on my podcast. Despite her busy schedule, she graciously visited my studio for an enriching conversation. Hailing from Minneapolis, she is a multi-faceted artist - a singer, songwriter, visual, and performance artist. Noteworthy among her projects is 'A Temporary Lie' with Georgeanne Kalweit and 'The Kalweit Project,' based in Milan, Italy. It's worth mentioning that she currently resides in Milan, adding an international touch to her artistic journey.

In the intimate setting of my studio, I sat down with Kara, the artistic genius behind the name, "Hot Mess Homemaker." Beyond her well-known refurbished earrings gracing spots like Caffetto Coffee Shop or Lost Fox, Kara's creative touch extends far beyond jewelry. Responsible for the distinctive signs, shelves, designs, and artworks in various Twin Cities locations, Kara is a silent influencer shaping the aesthetic landscape. As we chat, she reveals the artist behind the name, sharing insights into her artistic journey and the inspiration driving her diverse creations. Juggling motherhood with her art, Kara blends both worlds, embracing the chaos that comes with creativity and offering her children a chance to partake in the artistic process.
If you have a project in mind and would like to collaborate with Hot Mess Homemaker, you can reach out to her via email at hellohotmesshomemaker@gmail.com. Alternatively, for a more unconventional approach, you can send a smoke signal or even activate the bat signal. Connect with Hot Mess Homemaker on Instagram at hotmes_homemaker to explore her creative portfolio and initiate a unique collaboration.
