So many people try to turn their art into a career — only a few succeed. This week’s guest is Daniel Hooper, whose brilliant paintings have captivated instagram users and fine art collectors around the world. His work has purpose, and even his abstract pieces feel emotional and alive. In the episode, Daniel and I talk about his origins in a working class family, the effort it took to make his dream reality, and finding beauty in the dark and light side of everything.
