There is this artist in Seattle that has her own flavor and is pretty hot stuff over there.

She is opeing up a new gallery with all new art. I subscribe to her website and check out her stuff from time to time and I always enjoy the sites.

I have dreams of taking a flight and having coffee with her and asking her about her style and what she likes about it and what she does not.

I called her one time and asked her what did she think of my work. She was really positive and told me to keep producing work, never stop.

I never really knew what to do with that information. I thought at first that it was just something you tell people to keep them quite and to appease them. She was really telling me that my stuff is "whatever and she was too busy." That is how I felt at first but then I thought wait, she is an artist and she looked at my stuff and was giving me a compliement. That was a good thing. I was happy and thought I would share her with all of my friends, tell them to send her some work. She is cool and won't mind sharing her thoughts with you on the phone.
