Artist Spotlight: Manny Rodriguez

I’d like to take a moment to shine a spotlight on Creative Release Radiator, Manny Rodriguez. As ChatGPT says, Manny naturally gives off warmth and light, lifting the energy of everyone around them while staying grounded and steady at the core, and ChatGPT ain't lying.

Manny used to show up at Creative Release Open Studio Saturdays with his laptop. He liked the vibe but wasn't into making art. With a little encouragement and a set of watercolors, Manny slowly started to let his inner artist shine.

There he is on the day he decided to try out watercolors.

Watercolor was his gateway. On Saturdays we’ve seen Manny build a speaker, knit, and draw. For a year and a half, Manny keeps showing up, creating, and spreading the warm vibes.

In Manny’s words, “Taking a break from my daily stressors makes it beyond worth it.”

From everyone at Creative Release, thanks, Manny. You’re a real raditor.
