Heart of Copper

Athens local Dan Copper doesn’t think of himself as an artist — rather, he’s a creator. He has made a decent living from selling his artwork made out of reclaimed materials, but when the pandemic hit, his sales plummeted and he feared he would lose his home. Then, he met Jacqueline Krim.
