Woman

Season 1 Episode 4 | 26m 47s | CC

Art is enjoyed by all, but these pieces are strictly woman’s work. Heather Gorham got laid off from a job that left her unsatisfied and was completely overjoyed to use her newfound time to paint to her heart’s content. Lisa Portland is a painter who never picks up a brush. The visions of her of thoughts are created as paper towels and Q-tips transport the paint onto the canvas.
