Chapter 3: Readings From The Heart
I’ve been asked how I manage projects, like my “Readings From The Heart” exhibit, over a long duration. Half jokingly I replied “one bite at a time”. My joke is in reference to this saying I have thumbtacked to my art studio wall. Seriously though when starting I create a general big picture, a kind…
