He is not a Starving Artist.......I should have majored in Art (Featuring Cory Barksdale)

Better late than never, I ran into some issues with editing this week......still had a little trouble with the audio.......but the show must go on, Learning opportunity.   This week, I have a guest, yes a real guest and he is an artist. IG:  @coreybarksdaleart Corey Barksdale grew up in Nashville, where his mother’s fastidious attention to detail and his grandmother’s quilts inspired him to choose art. “I used to watch her create quite a bit,” he says of his grandmother, “and she was really inspiring with the images she created.” Barksdale’s Atlanta murals are characterized by bright colors and strong ties to community and identity.  “At one point he thought he wanted to do architecture,” he says, “but he thought that was just different people encouraging him to do architecture because they thought it would be more lucrative. Corey has always enjoyed people, painting, and figures, so when he was about 10 years old, he had an idea that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.” We talk about being an artist (a black artist), grandma's quilts, black history, juneteenth, and the business of art.
