So Xavier, was there a specific moment where this idea really clicked?

yes so i'm glad we have a little bit of time to talk about it too it began when i was in college um i really fell in love with arts and the creative uh just filled so originally when i went to college my dream was to be able to create a commercial that aired during the super bowl so i got into advertising got into marketing um and then halfway through my freshman year i switched my major from marketing to ad pr and public relations with uh broadcast production emphasis and then a minor in art and English as well.

So through that experience, I really fell in love with art, art history.

I got to be able to travel to different countries through just being a videographer as well with the with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

So I got the chance to go to Spain.

I also got the chance to go to China as well.

And during those travels and during those trips, I was able to bring home a little piece of art with me.

So what are barriers that emerging artists face that people outside the arts may not understand?
