Recent research has shown that Humanities and Arts degrees have nearly disappeared from universities. But without a foundation in arts and culture, and thereby in history and sociology, how can we continue to evolve as humans into better and better versions of ourselves? I have always found inspiration, meaning, and purpose in the arts, and I’ve been lucky to be able to integrate that love with my work over the years. Here are some samples of that.
