Description

We always hear stories about people who were dissuaded from going into art (how many people have gotten the "you can't make money in art" talk?). Well, Rita was encouraged to jump in and there's been no turning back.

In this episode, Rita Broughton shares her journey into the world of art along with all the pleasures and challenges that come with it.
