Imagine growing up in a household where “anything was a source for making art”. Painter, Poppy Dodge, talks about what it’s like to be surrounded by art and an art-making mother and finding her own way to becoming an artist.
Did your parents share their mistakes with you and did they show you that those mistakes can transform? Imagine what kind of world we could create if we openly admitted to mistakes and let others see that we are not perfect. What mistakes have you made that transformed into something positive?
