They are absolutely, like, mind-blowing, amazing, amazing work.

That was probably the greatest gift I have ever been given.

I had taught briefly a semester, uh, at the college.

Um, and so, so I was familiar with some of the people there.

They knew who I was, and I got a call saying, "I don't know if you remember me." "Of course I remember you." "I don't know if you remember me, but we're wanting to put together this exhibition at the gallery, and it's in conjunction with the Teen Arts Festival, which is a, an annual thing in most counties in, in New Jersey.

And, you know, come in and talk to us." And so I went in, and we started to talk about the body of work I had.

The gallery owner had never seen my work.

Like, if, if you could give one bit of guidance, I think.
