Aha Moment

Studio 360 | May 31, 2012

A few weeks ago we asked listeners to tell us about a work of art that changed their life. We received many amazing stories, and will be broadcasting some of them over the next few months. In the first of our new series, Aha Moments, listener Don Stewart of Homewood, Alabama tells us how he gave up a promising career in medicine after seeing a single drawing at the Birmingham Museum of Art. Produced by Ben Shaw.
