Welcome to my first audio blog post (podcast) (12 informative minutes).

I am excited to share with you this 12 minute interview with my friend Valerie Parks. Valerie is a wonderful Detroit artist, teacher, entrepreneur and philanthropist. As we move forward I hope to continue interspersing podcasts into the blog to bring you the voice of important people that will help on your journey to learn more about art.

Next Week:
Next week we are going to address the thought we all eventually have in our art journey “I could have done that!” when encountering a piece we view as simplistic or perhaps not even art. Stay tuned.
