Be a Curious Person
This is part two in our series about being brave as an artist. For part one, click here. Curiosity. When I think about the word, “curious”, I immediately think of a little mischievous monkey and the man with a yellow hat. “Curious” conjures up ideas of someone who gets into trouble because they ask too…
