Heart Work: Conversations About Art to Heal the Heart

In this episode of Heart Work, Maureen interviews Ron Hawkins. A singer-songwriter who has fronted several bands, including the legendary Lowest of the Low, Ron is also a talented visual artist with bold vision. Ron shares his song Saskia Begins, written for friends whose baby was born very prematurely, to help sustain them during that tense time. He also shares the story of the piece of art titled I AM STILL HERE/I AM STILL/ I AM HERE 36x36” (Acrylic, spray paint, charcoal, marker and handmade paper flower on birch panel)
