I am currently in Hartwell, but I live in finneytown and Wyoming since I've been to school. Coming up to come to school and college. And 82-83. I want to went to the arts consortium. And through meeting a lot of people there. The group called Emosia, it was artists, seasoned artists, that their thing was each one teach one and it was helping other artists, young artists. The Arts Consortium was on Linn Street. And we grew up in there painting and helping other people come in and run their program, run the program and, and be an artist and asked him to help me an art teacher and helping run the programs with this pilot on the auto pilot, this pilot, and it was a big part of the community, hate to see, you know, leave and everything like that. But it was a big stimulus for me to help, you know, get to know a lot of the artists, a lot of new, younger artists and other people just in the community. And I got to know a lot of people that way. One of the pictures was from this event last was it last year, the year before we it was it was outside who was able to paint so I just drew a picture for the ROMAC to help support her getting the building that was torn downl so that was that first picture did I worked with her she called me to help work on Black Lives Matter mural. Exclamation point. it's my art family actually, you know to have people that you can go to people that inspire you and their tenacity and so many people have their own different gifts self taught some training school, others a little bit of both, and they have some great acumen of business and just to see them all grow up and do great things and then you just get a big smile and your spirit when you see or seeing doing good things and you just want to be around them there's no better people to be around you know, art family.

I guess family that this comes together because when you work with people eat and hang out with them and work alongside them for such a long time they just put it become you know just saw Hollywood just come out of the blue and see him and just you know you just go oh my man Good to see you know, and you just know that they got your back and you know that no matter because being an artist is can be really tough and it has great highs and stuff but sometimes it's a lonely craft in a lot of ways.
