Life informs art—and vice versa. As human creatures, we benefit from experiencing art as a way of helping us explore some of the larger questions we may find ourselves pondering. Today, we speak with internationally known Maine-based artist, Eric Hopkins, about how his art has been shaped by his interaction with the world. We also speak with Emma Wilson, managing director of Art Collector Maine and the Portland Art Gallery, about an innovative project focusing on the body as a work of art.
