Artist and advocate Mary Bartling shares her origin story.  In this episode, Mary discusses the good fortune of the right mentor, the value of your crew, respecting the expertise of others, how no story is just a story, being less afraid, and we talk about book banning.

Mary Bartling is an artist that chose photography as her professional medium.  She focused on realism, being particularly fond of the face.  As she closed out her successful career, Mary pursued additional education for personal interests, obtaining a Masters and Doctorate of Liberal Arts.  Mary's thesis on the intersection of religious study, history, and literature led her to create a website to aid in having a deeper understanding and broader interpretation of literature.  This is her passion.
