Hi Samuel, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me is waking up at 4:30 watching the news and drinking coffee, depending on the day I could go out to my studio and paint or work on a piece of art or 4 to 5 hours, come inside prepare dinner while catching up on news and watching the antiques roadshow other days I could head out to LA to the karate school work out or teach, go ahead to a jazz concert, then on other days I may have to work installing art for customers or museums each day is different rarely a day when there’s nothing going on unfortunately haha, on days that I don’t have to head out or leave the house after painting all day I will come in and cook dinner and look for the antiques roadshow or watching my documentary on PBS that’s a relaxing evening for me.
