If anything can be art then anyone can be an artist.
When I lived in Baltimore I would come down fairly often to go to the Hirshhorn and one of my good friends from high school went to Georgetown. I actually ended up going to Annapolis a lot. I had a car and it was such a serene place to drive.

I really really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques and my dad is very mid-century. Theyre not together anymore so in the middle of growing up I all of the sudden

Art school can be a wonderful place if youre trying to find your voice and your style and your taste.
