At the Heart of Art

Cassandra Elaine does incredible layered woodcuts that are so beautiful and colorful. I met her at the Deep Ellum Art Fair this year at the request of my artist friend, Padre. Our talk inspired me to try new things and I'll bet it inspires you as well. From switching mediums to sharing your truth, there are great words of wisdom you'll want to hear.
