From Skating to Painting with Kyle Martin

Steph Shanks Season 2 Episode 16

Kyle Martin started out in the skateboarding world, running a skate shop and park in Reedsburg, WI. But when a devastating flood washed it all away, he picked up a paintbrush—and never looked back. Nearly two decades later, Kyle has become a staple artist in Wisconsin, capturing its beauty through vibrant landscape paintings. In this episode, we talk about his winding journey from skate decks to easels, the mental game of creativity, overcoming limiting beliefs, and what keeps him inspired.
