just trying to enjoy life, you know. I'm glad to be here.
I'm glad to have you. Another gardener. We're in trouble when Lady gets to the mic. Uh-oh.
Here we go. Lady, what's up? I know you heard the word garden, and I know you got all prickly
and jingly. Yeah, I do like gardening. My tulips are open. the weather's been great so I have a ton of sunflowers that have already
germinated and there's all like we dropped we had sunflowers last year and they dropped so
many seeds like there's sunflowers growing all over my lawn it's kind of crazy all over everything
but yeah full gardening season here but it's been rainy and crappy today so I've just been
inside drawing and it's my son's birthday.
So we're about to have some dinner.
But I wanted to pull up and co-host.
That's what's up.
Glad to have you.
How old is the birthday boy?
Yeah, that might as well be 21.
My first teenager.
Yeah, 13 is the 21 of the teenagers.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
He's about to put the smash down on one of his sisters behind me right now.
Oh, God.
It's brutal.
I got to mute.
It's getting brutal around here.
My favorite thing about teenagers was they always like to catch me when I was, you know, my room, I'd shut the door, turn on music, and I'd be dancing in my room like nobody's watching because nobody was watching.
And my son just loved barging into my room, you know, with the video camera on to catch me dancing.
Because he knew if the door was shut and the music was loud, I was probably dancing.
he knew if the door was shut and the music was loud I was probably dancing and so he thought it
was so funny to catch me and then you know snapchatted to all of his friends oh my gosh
and then every time they would see me they would laugh and I'd be like that's awesome my son's the
opposite he's like promise me you won't say anything to me in front of anyone ever like
does not want me to do anything embarrassing you're such an
embarrassment yes the embarrassment oh gosh yeah yeah i i got banned for for cheering for my kids
back in the day they're you know they're like me you know we only can hear our name on the whole
field and your loud mouth you know out of all the parents, you know, I'm like, that's a good thing. She's, you know, so embarrassing.
Yeah, super embarrassing.
Welcome to our stage.
Clean.
I right.
How are you doing today?
Let's check in with you.
I'm doing just great.
Thank you for having me. I am. I had a busy day today. I'm
on a committee for, I'm actually the committee chair for a scholarship program that one of
the galleries that I belong to gives out to high school students going to art school.
So I've been preparing for that and we're giving out two $3,000 scholarships. So we have a meeting
with our committee on Saturday. So I've been just, just, you know, really getting all that ready today.
And plus they have a lot of other stuff going on.
Oh, wow. That's awesome. I love to hear that. You know, art scholarships, that is amazing
because that is the first thing that is cut from education funding is, you know, for art and music.
So the fact that you're doing that, that's really can be life changing to a person, you know, and they get to continue, you know, that drive and that passion.
So kudos to you for that.
Kudos to you for that.
Thanks.
Real fast. Welcome, everybody. welcome everybody tricky i see you thanks
for pulling up slim katie what's good quakey on the rise down there gas station sushi down there
what's up what's up shazam thank you appreciate everybody pulling up stroke i see you thank you
um so we are here with ira uh queen in the industry. This is episode 28. I can't believe
that we've been rolling so long. It's just amazing. We got episode 30 coming right around
the corner. Um, before you know it, we'll be at 100. That seems wild to me, but definitely doable, definitely doable. We're going to push for it
for sure. But so I've seen you in this basement, following you for a bit. If you could just give
us a little introduction on what it is that you do, you know, you know, like what, who you know, like who you are, what you do, what you like to do.
Okay, sure. I am a fine artist, meaning I went to school for sculpture, which is one of the fine arts. And I taught for a little while in high school. And now I'm out on my own and really my main endeavor is collage
and I have been creating collage for a while now but I'm putting together some work for the Attleboro Arts Museum.
And that requires me to have a cohesive body of work.
So I'm really making a lot of collage now.
I do paint and I do other things.
I do design work.
I just designed a postcard for an open studio event that my, one of the galleries that I belong to is, is producing, is presenting.
And so I made the postcards for that they just got printed today
and I'm uh from Massachusetts and I am a physical artist I also make NFTs out of my physical works. And yeah, that's about it in a nutshell. That's what I do. I make collage mostly. I just finished last year making a painted series of pictures that went into a calendar for breast cancer awareness. So that was a big
painting endeavor that I did last year. And it's the calendar came out this year. And it's a great
calendar. It's really beautiful. I'm really happy with the way it came out and it goes to support people with breast cancer.
So that's a big thing that I did this year, this past year.
And right now, currently, I'm showing in three different places in New York City, which was a dream of mine. Yeah, it was a dream of mine
for a long time. And then last year, I showed at the New York Stock Exchange for a gala event. It was digitally shown. And now this year, I have been showing at a WIDA gallery in Brooklyn,
New York. And one of the openings is tonight. I couldn't make it out there because I'm just
really busy. But I do intend to make it out to that gallery this summer and meet them i've been
showing there consistently since february every month and i'm also showing at the brooklyn art cave
currently and i'm showing at lion's milk cafe also in brooklyn i'm also showing at
my hometown gallery in westport massachusetts and that's a painting that i have being shown there
And this weekend on Saturday, I have another opening at Imaggio Gallery in Warren, Rhode Island.
So I keep busy for sure.
You are all over the place.
That is what's up.
I love to hear that.
Wow.
So you've definitely been doing this, definitely do this full time.
And I love hearing that. And the fact that you're showing so many different places consistently is amazing.
Not a lot of artists get that, you know, opportunity. So big ups to you on that. So I do always like to, you know, take back when I get a chance to talk to creatives.
And, you know, a lot of times, you know, we are, you know, have been creating, you know, for a long time in our life.
What was the first thing like do you remember like what's the first thing that you remember, like, making or creating or, like,
drawing or painting? Like, what are your first memories? Or, like, you said you were a sculptor.
Did you, like, were, like, did you, like, used to do, like, a lot of Play-Doh things? Or, like,
what was that first, like, real passion that you remember when it comes to, you know, creativity or creation or artwork. Yeah, I do remember. And it was a defining moment
for me because I was coloring in a coloring book and I had seen someone blend two different colors together and I had never seen that before so I tried it
and my mom was so impressed and she said are you going to be an artist when you grow up and I said
yes I'm going to be an artist and um yeah that that was it it was this little crayon coloring of a frog that I used blue and green to color the frog.
And but as far as becoming a sculptor, I didn't really realize that I wanted to be a sculptor until I took a class in college. I took a three
dimensional design course and I was originally signed up as a graphic designer and I realized
that there was a difference between me and the other graphic designers. I tended to be
a little bit messier than my other classmates that put me in this painterly category.
this painterly category and so um i figured if i went into graphic design i could get a job
after college um but then when i took that three-dimensional design class i changed i
changed my mind and i switched my major to sculpture and now I realize that I'm putting together that desire for graphic design
that I did have and the sculpture because I'm using um you know I'm using materials that create something rather than just paint. And I'm using paper and magazine
clippings and text. And I'm putting that all together to create. I like it's almost like sculpture, but it's a painting too. So it's got some of that,
those elements of sculpture in it. But this is where I'd like to stay. I really like making
collage and I do it on canvas. And it's, it's just, it it's a wonderful thing it's a wonderful medium that i have really
enjoyed thoroughly and i get to put in little references to artists like famous artists um I'm doing a collage right now where I have some Michelangelo images in the collage.
So it's just fun.
It's really a lot of fun.
I enjoy my work tremendously.
That's awesome.
I love when you can finally Easter eggs inside Easter eggs, you know, inside of artwork and, like, little references or something like that.
You know, moments of inspiration from the artist, you know.
Yeah.
You definitely get to do that inside collages.
So, no, that's cool.
So, like, once you got into school, then that's when you really, you know, understood or kind of found, you know,
sculpture and added that into, you know, what you were doing. But you did have that definitive
moment. I think that's always cool to, you know, learn that about a person, you know, when they,
you know, sit back and, you know, say, hmm, what was that first time, you know, that first thing
that really had me thinking, or, you know, got me going,
I might want to be an artist or I might want to pursue this a little bit more, a little deeper,
you know? Yeah, it, you know, it's, it was a tough decision to make that I wanted to be, you know, in the gallery scene. And it has been difficult to get started.
But once I really came up with a signature style, it was easier for me to promote my work.
That's a thing that I have a hard time with is promoting my work because you
have to be like a business person as well as a artist. And I've been thinking about taking some and, um, just to help me out with that. But, um, yeah. Well, speaking of, um, you know,
it'd be great if everybody in the room would go up to the nest and, um, you know, give those posts
some love, like retweet, comment, um, and, uh, yeah, start, um, getting some traction on IRISE page.
So yeah, promoting is a whole nother beast.
That'd be cool for you to take some business classes.
Like, I think that's really important.
Something that I've wanted to do as well.
So good on you, girl.
And thank you for posting those. Yeah, if there's anything else you want posted um
feel free to pin it up top or i can do that for you if you want to dm it to me i'm sure you
probably know how to do it but um yeah offers out there i can show you a couple of my collages that
i've been i can show you the collage that I've been working on
it's uh it's incomplete but maybe you'd like to see what I absolutely okay let me get it
just a minute so what so do you use like um are you like cutting and pasting on canvas. Yes. And I do use Maj Paj.
By the gallon, probably.
Oh, yeah.
I've got a gallon right in front of me.
So, let me see.
I'll share this.
That's not the best.
There's that.
And then I've got some more collages here somewhere.
You've been in the crypto space for a while, the NFTs and that was really interested because I know where the art world is going and it's heading
in the digital realm. That's primarily why I'm showing in New York three times right now is because we can do it by digital means.
And when I learned how to create an NFT and how to create a collection, I felt like I
was learning a new language.
It was very difficult at first.
I just didn't understand a lot of it.
But now that I've got that under my belt and I do get it,
I'm producing a lot of NFTs.
And I enjoy that. I enjoy the fact that I can make little cash on, you know,
something small that people will treasure. So I really like artist, I'm able to tap into that without much problem now that I
have the knowledge of NFTs and how to create them. So that was very valuable to me as an artist,
for sure. So speaking of NFTs and, you know, creating them and whatnot,
you know, how did that occur for you? So, you know, you went from, you know, doing art as a
hobby, you know, something that you loved and enjoyed, you know, you decided that you wanted
to go to school for that, you know, so, you know, most people don't do that. So you took it a little
more seriously and took the schooling
route with it. Once you did that, you were able to explore various forms of art and whatnot. But
how did you come across the world of digital artwork and NFT artwork?
um well i just i came to x actually a couple of years ago and i noticed that there was a lot of
talk about nfts and i said i it was really funny because i went on to one of um a shill space and I said, what are NFTs? And they dropped me off the stage because they
thought I was joking. And I was like, no, I'm not joking. And someone vouched for me. They said, no, she really is that green. And, um, so
I ended up from that, they brought me back on the stage. And I did that. And the rest is history.
It was pretty funny, though, that they couldn't believe that I didn't know what it was, but I didn't, I, I, I didn't know what a non fungible token was. I didn't know,
um, a lot of things, but I learned so much in a short period of time. And I, I'm grateful to
my mentor for that. It was, um, and now I can't even think of who it was. Um, but he was great.
And now I can't even think of who it was.
But he was great.
He was wonderful.
That's funny.
You get kicked off the stage.
Hey, welcome to the world of crypto.
Get your butt off the stage.
Goodness gracious.
That's too much.
At least you found a mentor that kind of took you under their wing and, you know, was able to show you the ropes, you know ropes. That was the space. But goodness gracious, they kicked you off.
Yeah, it was funny.
Oh, I know. It was Doodle Genics.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
He kicked you off?
Get him in here.
He did. He kicked me off the stage he was just like get out of here
oh my gosh I'm going to give him
I'm going to give him some
heck the next time I'm on his stage
I'm like so I heard a little story
about you
goodness
that's funny
that is funny where That is funny.
Where are all the places that you have art?
Like what blockchains?
Like what areas?
I actually only have work on objects right now.
And I like it there.
So I think I'm going to just stick with it. It seems like there's a lot
of artists like me there. And, you know, like, I'm not, um, a PFP artist, you know, uh, there's a
difference. I've noticed that too, that there was like a real big difference between my artwork
and most of the NFT work that I saw. And it's harder to understand how to um like create a um
uh what do you call it i see i don't even know the pfp projects yeah exactly yeah i didn't i
didn't know um i i just thought that that was just way over my head at the time.
And I just felt comfortable with object.
And I'm just, you know, not to say that I won't go somewhere else and try a new avenue.
Actually, I have a friend that has been bugging me to get on this new platform that she was telling me about.
So I think I'll, I will try some new places out, but, um, right now the physical work really has
me, uh, just super busy. So, um, making the, and making the time to get into another platform is just something that I'm
going to have to sit down and work out so that I can, so that I can, you know, give it my all
instead of, I don't want it to be like a side project. I want it to be, you know, a project, a real project.
So, yeah.
So object that's on the Ethereum, the stuff over there on the object platform.
Are those Ethereum based NFTs?
It's Tezos.
Oh, it's Tezos.
Tezos.
Okay.
Okay.
Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
So then it's not any gas or anything like that.
That's awesome.
So are you part of any like DAOs or like artist groups?
Like I know like Tesla's has like the Tesla's like, you know,
Tesla's artist network, you know,
that stroke does a lot of stuff with them. Um,
are you in any of those communities?
I'm in, uh, the artists on the chain community.
I'm in the artists on the chain community.
But I'm not in any other artist communities except for the ones that I do locally.
I'm in a group called South Coast Artists.
And I belong to another gallery called Westport Art
Group and that's my hometown art group and I also belong to the Attleboro Arts
Museum that is close by me and that's an art museum where I'm an artist member. So I do spend
a lot of time. I just left a couple of galleries. I had, I was a member at a place called Gallery X,
and that's local to me too. town that I live in now so I do a lot of
local stuff to me as far as belonging to groups like that but I do enjoy Artists on the Chain as far as the exposure and the community that is there.
It's really nice to connect with other artists.
Yeah, you should check out Stroke Driven and then the Teso's Artists Network that's here in the space also.
Okay.
Good community, especially since you're on Teso's already.
It'd be an easy,
you know, you know, transition or addition, I won't say transition, but in addition to what
you're doing, you know, and, uh, you know, meeting some more artists, um, you know, getting connected,
maybe finding, uh, you know, some more platforms or, you know, places to, you know, to, uh, get
your art or display your art or whatnot. Um, and just some more people, you know, places to, you know, to get your art or display your art or whatnot.
And just some more people, you know, artists just to, you know,
just like you that are doing like one of one, you know, style artwork,
you know, versus like PFP style of work.
Right. Yeah, that would be great. I would love to.
I just gave Tezo's Artist Network a follow, and I didn't even realize that that was a thing. So I'm glad.
Making those connections. That's what it's about. Love it, love it, love it.
it love it love it yeah absolutely that's what we're here for for sure for sure um real fast
Yeah.
everybody do that go around the room give everybody else a follow that you don't get
connected definitely give irai a follow give my co-host majestic Majestic and Lady a follow. Thank you all for coming.
Stroke, Slim, Shazam, Tesla's Earth Network, Steppas, and Archenoid.
Thank you all.
Appreciate you most definitely.
Majestic, do you have any questions?
Yeah.
What was I going to say? So like, what, um, what would you say
your like, um, favorite pieces and, um, and why, um, is, is one question that I have, like,
you know, is there, is there something that you've made that just felt like very
like almost like inspirational um to where it was like you know like sometimes like doing stuff can
be like therapeutic um so I'm just wondering like you know what piece of yours or what um experience
have you had that's just kind of really stands out yeah Yeah. Well, I'm gonna, I will post up top
a piece that I really love. And it's, it's called eternal peace. I mean, I'm sorry, wrong one. It's called Eternal Spring.
And it was chosen to be, I just talked about it a little while ago. It was chosen to be at the New York Stock Exchange last year.
And it's about, so that was my first month, that month was my debut in New York.
And so it's special to me because of that.
But it's also special to me because it's a kangaroo with a little joey.
And it's about the kangaroo being my spirit animal.
And I took this test to find out who my spirit animals were. And it came
up as the kangaroo and a dolphin. And I've done artwork of a dolphin as well. But the kangaroo
really stuck with me because I do have a son. I've just, I've got one child and, um,
it was really about how the kangaroo hops in and out of reality and I'm bipolar. So it's,
bipolar. So it's,
it really resonated with me to talk about how I,
I bounce up and down through, you know,
feelings of reality and feelings of non-reality sometimes.
And it can be, you know,
where you want to live in this eternal spring
where everything is perfect and beautiful um so if you look at the collage on the with the
the kangaroo is standing inside this aura of spring and on the outside it's winter and cold and
you know everything's dead. So it's my idea of being alive and happy and not, you know, not going into, you can see too that part
of the tail and the feet are outside of the ring of the aura. And that's because I am in those parts too. I'm, you know, there, there are those times when I get depressed
and my medication doesn't work that great. And so that's really why my me and i and and it's it's uh showing right now
at Brooklyn Art Cave in Brooklyn York and um it's just because people have wanted to show it
I just feel like it is a successful piece I love that yeah I
keep that that eternal spring bubble around me too yeah I can I can so relate
to what you were just saying is I'm not bipolar but I have PTSD and I disassociate a lot
and so it can be but I do photography and that reattaches me to my surroundings it's really
interesting it's like brought it I'll still it's interesting I I feel almost like I still
disassociate in the moment and then when I go back through my photos I can like tangibly feel
and experience like exactly the moment and tell you what was being said and what it sounded like around me.
So it's strange.
It's been very helpful or it's been very helpful for me.
Oh, yeah.
Art is my therapy.
It really is.
That was such a great answer that you had, though.
And like right away, you knew exactly what that piece was that really represented you.
That was really cool.
Thanks. And brave. brave yeah thank you yeah it's it's difficult being uh well i they i i got the part in in the new york stock exchange by um by applying as a neurodivergent artist.
And that's, yeah.
And so I just feel like it's, you know,
it's really helped me in the art world
because there are,
the art world is sensitive to those kinds of things.
And I think that the art world is sensitive to those kinds of things. And I think that the art world realizes
that there are a lot of artists like that. So, you know, we're different.
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That's, that's really cool. I've been, I've been applying for
some grants lately, and I didn't even think to look for anything for like neurodivergent people. That's actually good. Yeah.
Where is this test that you take to find out what your spirit animal is?
Oh, I, you know what? I, I don't know where I found it. I looked it up. I just looked it up online and found a good one. And I don't remember,
honestly, where I found it. But I just did a search. Find my spirit animal or something like that.
Awesome. I love that you have a dolphin too that's very peaceful and loving.
The dolphin does the same thing as the kangaroo. It goes in and out of the water. So it goes in and out of the underworld and the real world.
Interesting. Yeah. That's, that's awesome. Um, actually just had a brain fart. So, okay. Okay. So, um,
so, um, you've got a lot of stuff on display IRL. Um, are you doing anything, um, in New York for NFT NYC? Do you do anything, any of the, uh, you know, conferences or like exhibitions
that are, that happen, you that happen in or around those?
That was my bad answer.
Sorry about that.
Go ahead, Ivor.
That's okay.
You know what?
I wanted so badly to go to NFT NYC last year.
to go to NFT NYC last year. And this year, it just didn't work out because I have to complete
three new collages for this museum show that I'm going to be in this summer. And I just,
I couldn't put it, I couldn't do it all. The museum show that I'm in this summer is at the Attleboro Arts Museum in Massachusetts.
And it's an eight person show.
And I was chosen out of 57 applicants to be in the show so um there's only eight people in the show
and i just went to my orientation the other day and it was so great i can't wait to get started
i i'm actually i'm working now but i can't wait to get started on a few other things that like we have to put
together like a diorama of the materials that we use. And we also have to create some
smaller works for the gift shop that they have there. So the whole month of July and into August
is going to be dedicated to these eight artists
that are showing at the museum.
So that's why I missed NFT NYC this year.
Yeah, I mean, that's a good reason. I mean long as you're you're showing or something like that
you know then that's the that's the real uh you know that's that's a real win you know is when
your art is showing and people are viewing it and getting a chance to see it so yeah absolutely
but there's always a there's always you always other years and other events
you say you're in the Massachusetts area
so NFT NYC wouldn't be a bad one for you
yeah it's feasible for sure
I just couldn't swing it
this year
but maybe next year I'll go
because
that's something that I definitely saw my bucket list for something to do.
And I love New York City. I love to visit. It's just expensive.
So I have to really plan it like a vacation.
Oh, yeah.
So maybe next year that would be a good thing to do for me for sure
i will definitely keep that on the agenda for next year
it gives you some time to get connected with some other maybe some crypto uh you know uh
families that'll be there and groups that, you know, may be on display.
Like I know there's another group we interviewed.
They're a founder for One Love Art Dow.
I don't know if you've heard of them.
That's another group of artists here in the space.
And they do a lot of exhibits and displays.
You know, they do a lot of curations.
So that's another one you might want to check them out as well. Cool. Thank you.
You're welcome. Welcome. So, uh,
getting towards the top of the hour here and we kind of got a late start today,
lady, you have, uh, anything over there you want to talk about?
Any questions?
I know she's a little
busy with her kids. Sorry, I'm
chewing. It's my kid's birthday. We're eating pizza.
That's what I figured.
Happy birthday to your
kids. Thank you.
But no, no,
I appreciate you. I hope you
make a connection with Stroke Driven for
Tezos. I think you'll really
like it there
okay cool
majestic you have anything yeah what other kinds of things are you um are you into um so you've kind of
um got more comfortable with the lingo um with NFTs and things like that.
But like what other kinds of things like do you like to do or collect here?
And like, do you collect other NFTs?
And just kind of what other things do you do?
And are you interested in?
interested in yeah i i do collect nfts i have um and i don't have a lot of them compared to some of
Yeah, I do collect NFTs.
my friends that really collect them like crazy um but i do have a collection and um i do like to, I like, I like, I love artists. So I love collecting other artists work. And if you
came to my house, it's like an art museum. I've got art everywhere. And it's mostly my art, but
I've just because, you know, everything that doesn't sell ends up in my house
and, um, hoping to sell someday, but I like to, I'm a outdoorsy person. I like to be outside,
especially this time of year. Um, just went out to lunch with my friend yesterday and sat outside on the water.
And that was great.
I live on the ocean.
So every chance that I get, I get out there and go to the beach.
I love it
there we go and see there's rocket launches where we go and stay so we love to see that. And last year we went to see Art Basel. So that's something that
I like to do a lot of is gallery hop. I like to go to gallery openings. I've got one show that I'm
in this weekend on Saturday, and I'm going to another opening tomorrow night. A friend of mine is showing.
So I love to do that. I, I, I'm not a musician by any means, but I do love music. I love to go
and see live music wherever I can. That's a real thrill for me. And I, let's see, what else do I do? I,
I teach also. So I teach art to adults now. I used to teach high school students for five years.
I was in a high school that I graduated from.
So I taught there for five years before branching out on my own.
And now I teach at the various galleries that I belong to.
And I really enjoy that a lot.
More people like you teaching art. That is for sure. That's amazing. I actually teach a class that is mixed media and I teach it in a way that the students create art that's like mine. came up with this idea to make the collages, I started to call it little stories and the big
picture. Because when you first look at it, it looks like the animal or the subject you'll see
right away, like you'll see the horse. But as you get closer to the art, you see these little stories that are attached to the big story.
So it's there's you can get a lot out of my work by just observing it.
And that's what you want is for the viewer to come back over and over again to, you know, to really understand your art and to get a message out of it.
So my pieces are very detailed, I would have to say.
And I enjoy making them. I enjoy teaching that method.
And I actually have taught that class, my method, three times now. And I'm getting ready to teach
it a fourth time at Westport Art Group where I grew up.
Wow. Yeah, that is awesome. Yeah, you definitely sound like some of the things I'm hearing that
you have interest in and stuff, you know, definitely make sure that you get connected with
One Love Art Dow and Tesla's Art Network. You know, like you
said, you did Art Basel, like, there were a lot of art curations down there, you know, with these
different projects and stuff, you know, so, you know, if, you know, when you're down there, you
can also, you know, participate and even have your work on display, you know, during Art Basel.
and even have your work on display, you know, during Art Basel.
Well, actually, I did.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
And went with, why can't I think of it now?
I went to an event.
Oh, my gosh, I'm drawing a blank.
But Tricky was involved.
I went with Tricky.
Okay.
And we, I did, I did
yeah, I did live painting and sold some of my calendars while I was doing the live painting and I have Was that, okay, was that let's see, Tricky's
event, that was the
Slim
I know which one, we were at it
Yes, Slim's throwing
100s, we were at it, now I'm drawing a blank
Me too
Tricky, get up here, what was it? We're both drawing
blanks, give me two seconds
Wait a minute, I'll find it.
It was the Zao.
Zao. Yes. Thank you.
All right. Yes.
Now everyone's throwing the emojis. Thank you, everybody. Appreciate it.
Yeah. So, okay. So you like painting as Zachella I did it was awesome I was I was there that was that's awesome I did not even know that oh wow okay okay that's cool
yeah was that your first time um at Art Basel or have you been there before?
No, that was my first time. And we we loved the event. Oh, my gosh.
Oh, I love it. I live down in West Palm for about five years.
And so I had been to Art Basel for, you know, back in 2005.
I've been going since a little bit after that.
And then now with crypto involved, that's like one event.
If I couldn't make any events throughout the whole year,
except for one, it would probably be Art Basel would be the one I would choose.
Just because the weather's always nice.
It's always the same time of year.
So like you can plan it, you know, and like location, you always know exactly where it's at.
So it's like super easy to plan for. And I just like it. I really enjoy it. You know,
all the rest of the events are always, you never know. It's up to them when they're going to host
it, what month, what day, whatever. But Art Basley, you
can always know when it is, you know, so. Yeah, it was fantastic. And we stayed on South Beach,
my boyfriend and I. And we, it was so funny because we had no idea that it was such a thrilling kind of place.
And we found these earplugs in the bedroom.
And we were like, what are these for?
You know, why do they have earplugs in here?
So you can sleep.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
But we stayed up late.
We were just like, we were just looking out our window late at night.
We're like watching people.
Yeah.
It's a lot of stimulation.
You know what I mean?
Like sensory, it could be sensory overload sometimes.
You know, for sure.
For sure.
Yeah, that and New York.
New York's the same, too.
I feel like whenever I leave New York, because I love nature, too, you know, and I feel like whenever I go to New York and I leave, like, I always feel like there's, like, a humming that's, like, missing.
Like, you know, because, like, even New York York when it's quiet, it's not really quiet.
You're just drowning out the rest of the noise or like all the noise,
you know, you're like, Oh, it's quiet. And civilian is just like,
it's just a whole bunch of noise, you know,
and you're not listening to anything specific. I feel like, you know,
but yeah, it's a little sensory overload there in South Beach, especially when you're staying right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We loved it so much that we're going back this year.
Oh, yeah.
We're staying in South Beach for at least a week.
That's what's up.
And going to go to Art Basel again.
So, I can't wait.
That's what's up.
That's what's up. I'm definitely
going to have to link up with you this year.
Yeah, I want to go too.
For sure.
Yeah, you definitely have to go
Majestic. Come on now.
Yeah, I missed last year.
Yeah. I need that
Florida sunshine. Yeah,
there's nothing like it.
There's nothing like it. You just never realize it
until you actually are there. You're like, yep, this is what I was missing.
Yep, 100% unneeded this.
So, well, she's,
that's what's up. Mr. Darius, welcome to the room.
Slim, Chon Lee, Art Noid, Tesla's Art Network's
Steppa's Tricky Stroke. Thank you all for coming. Appreciate you, appreciate you. Well,
it's getting towards the top of the hour, a little bit late. I have been traveling and
am running on not much sleep. My flight was delayed eight hours yesterday.
It was crazy.
So I was supposed to get home at 11 p.m.
Didn't get home till 7 a.m.
So it was a bit of a journey yesterday.
It always is, though.
I have fun.
I love my little adventures.
But, yeah, I think we're going to go ahead and get things wrapped up.
We do appreciate you joining us and becoming one of our queens in the industry.
Thank you so much.
Is there anything you'd like to leave with people?
Anything you've got coming up?
Anything you want to share?
Places that you'll be at. They can see your work, any drops that you're doing, any drops you have out currently, where we can go support or show love or anything like that?
bunch of my paintings that I made for the calendar last year. And those are all for sale
through the NFT that I have on Tezos. So if you buy the NFT, you get the painting too. So it comes with a physical piece of work. And I also have other NFTs that are available on
Tezos. But what I really would like to highlight is my event that's coming up at the Attleboro
Arts Museum, because it's a really great opportunity. And I'll keep you all
posted about what's happening with that. But I'm super excited to be a part of it. And I hope that
actually, I do have one friend that lives in Massachusetts that I met here and met him in Florida when we went to Art Basel
that might come to my opening. So that would be wonderful.
Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Let's go. Yeah, I love, I love, you know, the networking that you're able to do at these places. And yeah, you may meet people that you end up certain level, you know, with your art?
Like, what would you what's like your big dream?
What would you like to see yourself doing down the road?
With like no restrictions, like, you know?
Yeah, I'd like to get into more museums.
I've got to like, I've got my foot in the door now and I'd like to I just feel
that is my where my success plateau is in the museum field and I I just need to keep on applying and I'm feeling like showing in New York has been a real,
a real opener of my artistic talent, you know, a real showcase because it's getting out there in New York city is what one of the meccas for art.
And so it's always been my dream to be there. Um, and now that I am, I feel like it's just
a few more steps in the right direction towards, you know, maybe showing at the MFA, who knows, you know,
maybe showing at the Boston Museum of Contemporary Art. I'd like to show at a contemporary museum.
We have Mass MoCA out here, which is a contemporary art museum. So if I can get into some contemporary
art museums as, you know, a contemporary artist. Wait, one second. Where are you based out of?
I'm in Massachusetts. Okay. We have a MoCA too, but I'm in Madison, Wisconsin. So I was like,
wait, are you buying me? That's our contemporary museum also.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
Yeah. So that's about it in a nutshell.
That's what's up. So look out for IWrite and some more museums.
