It's All In The Details
Monifa Mortis
Monifa is a perfectionist in the best way. She lives in the details. She is the kind of artist that can teach as well as she creates. I am an immensely better artist because she taught me how to think for myself and ask myself why I'm doing what I'm doing. You'll hear us talk about the importance of confidence in artistry and how to develop it.
