It's a little wasp nest thing I found outside.

I usually sell my stuff at a gallery called Kaleid in downtown San Jose. Where are you?

Wow! a wasp's nest. That's cool. That is something I've never seen anyone use before. I like it when people use objects from nature that have distinctive patterns and shapes. I'm in the UK, Peterborough city. Which is a shame because there aren't many galleries here. I'd love to attend that gallery you sell your stuff at. I'd love to travel to bigger more cultured cities and exhibit my work in the future. Do you have any issues with bringing or carrying your work to the gallery? That must be hard to do.

What sort of work do you do? Maybe you should consider making a move some day. You sound like you have an adventurous spirit!

I took a look at your gallery and liked what I saw!

Thank you. I'm glad you like it I do have a bit of adventurousness about me but sadly I also have a lot of restrictions. Money issues being the main thing. Who knows though maybe I'll get a career that pays well some day.

Well, you never know where your life will take you I guess. What sort of work do you do?

Exactly. I'd really love to travel and explore different places. Not just for art. I do canvas paintings mostly surreal and in a messy/expressive style. Small digitalised paintings that I intend to sell as prints. I don't really know how to go about that yet though. I also am really into making assemblages using dolls. Do you travel around to exhibit your work? (I mean different cities etc.) If you do how do you carry or transport your work to the gallery?

Well, we recently did a show in Portland, which meant we had to drive for a day to get the art there. We used our camper. I would not do a show that far away again just because of the amount of work.

I can't really ship my art either. It's too awkward and I would worry about damage. I'm going to have to stick to local shows. We have a van for transporting art to local shows. It's definitely a consideration ....

Yeh I can imagine that would be quite a lot of work to get to somewhere that far with all those assemblages. It's good you have a camper though. I bet that comes in handy. I've been thinking about shipping my art but like you I'm just too worried it will get damaged. Is that a van you rent for transporting your art? I'd just stick to exhibiting locally as well my city isn't very cultured unfortunately. Although like you said I have an adventurous spirit so I could be travelling around some day .
