About Me

I’m Jacob Kelly, a writer, director, and podcaster based in Toronto, Canada.

Artwell is where I study the greatest artists in history to find lessons for people making things today. Each season is a deep dive into one artist’s work and methods, alongside conversations with the people who worked with them and essays written along the way.

Before Artwell, I spent four years hosting My Social Life, a podcast about creators. Artwell launched in April 2023.
