A Simpler Life is a recurring piece included in every Portico Eastern Shore issue. Each quarter, we interview a group of children who are enjoying their lives on the Eastern Shore. Their unique insights inspire us all to remain curious, honest, and kind.
Art Wide Open Studio is a creative place for creative spirits, and we’re thrilled to see that so many young artists are creating their own masterpieces there. Among admiring their paintings, we got to ask some of the children questions about art, school, and family, and their responses reminded us of a simpler life. Tap into your childlike sense of wonder by reading our mini-interviews with the young artists below.
