I interviewed Donna Spatidol, who is an intuitive artist. She sold her home on the US East Coast and is currently travelling. We spoke about her art journey from high school age, self-discovery via a business course, being widowed, art as therapy, living a solitary life, and the search for a home base again...

"I am learning that home is right here. Where I am. Home is in my heart. Home is who I'm with. And a lot of times, most of the time it's with myself."
