ARTISAN ALLEY - "Create, Concentrate, Collaborate!"

How do you find your style in art? What are the key elements to improve as an artist? When can you say that you are successful as an artist? You'd think that this will be a very career-minded video, but you'd be wrong! Mark Riggins proves that art is about the passion you put into it. The more you think of art as a business, the more you realize that it is that and more. In this video, we hear from the veteran artist himself on what feeds his soul as an artist.

How many ads have you heard recently that talked about the importance about mental health? If it's a lot, then you've probably realized - if you haven't already - how necessary it is to take care of our mental state, just as much as our physical health.

She tells us why riding horses and connecting with these gentle creatures has helped her. There are services for this that she explains further in this segment.

Musicians - like any other artists - have different projects to focus on in the middle of a pandemic. Some find ways to perform virtually, others focus on the producing aspect of it.
