In this two-part episode, artist Mimi Conrey shares her future outlook: becoming free-er in her artistic style and her life. Free to express her love of family, God, and her dogs through her paintings. Free from competition and judges and even from making her living with her art. Free to explore unusual foods and continue her active life. In part two of the episode, she introduces listeners to Alice and Big Mike, a mother and son who cook and bake together, whom she met researching recipes. Alice, a woman she calls “The Mona Lisa of the Coal Region," and son Mike share her mission to spread the joy around.
