In this episode Peter connects with artist Sandra Jones Campbell. Visual and fine artist Sandra Jones Campbell discusses her inspiration and resulting artwork, a form that has touched millions. Her experiences allow an exploration of multiple issues that artists confront, from the nature of art as an extension of oneself and the legal system's limited protection for moral rights in the artist's creations. As we meander down the copyright river in this discussion, the looming question we ask is how artists can better protect themselves in their business dealings and how the legal system can make it easier for them. 

The Arts Counsel podcast, hosted by Peter Afrasiabi, is a thirty-minute conversation with influential content creators about their work at the intersection of art and the law. Designed to demystify the legal system, guests share stories of their struggles and successes as it relates to their creative endeavors, and Afrasiabi offers insight to help our audience better understand their rights as artists.
