Wow.

I am hosting some artists next week that I'm going to be showing some of their work in my gallery.

So once in a while I invite different artists to come and use the space.

And they stay here and they work on their different projects.

I like to be surrounded by creative people.

That's amazing.

That's amazing. I support that.

Can I sit down?

Sure.

So, speaking of wanting to be surrounded by creative people,

I'm really considering leaving school and traveling, kind of like you were mentioning a little bit briefly, like you did.

Do you have any advice on that?

I feel like it would help me find myself. I don't know.

I think that's a great idea.

I always support people just getting out of their comfort zone a little bit, taking some risks.

I mean, that's what I did.

Yeah, what did you do?

I took time off school and I traveled extensively.

At one point I ended up in Leningrad.

Oh, wow.

I went to the Hermitage Museum and it completely changed my life.

I was just moved by the whole experience.

I can't even explain where it came from or why, but I was there.

I kind of imagined myself working with artists.

Yeah.

And that's how I realized what I was meant to do.
