Now and then, a story comes along that perfectly captures the intersection of unwavering faith, Ozark heritage, and a race against time.
Show Me Today is joined by the ‘Accidental Ozarkian,’ Barbara Baird, to discuss her deeply moving encounter with Juanita Herrell, a 91-year-old ceramic artist from Douglas County who spent years painstakingly carving, firing, and glazing a vision of the afterlife. Just as Juanita completed her monumental series, ‘The End of Time,’ she received a life-altering diagnosis, making the preservation of her message more urgent than ever. Stay with us on Show Me Today as we explore the legacy of an artist who proved it’s never too late to find your calling, and why she is determined to leave behind a map of hope for the generations to come.
