Mostly I would have loved to have met Robert Henri, (a teacher from the 1800's who introduced modern contemporary art to students from all around the world... brilliance is an understatement in describing this man. He once said that "We are not here to do something that has already been done." - meaning we should look to other artist for ideas and hints, but never strive to mimic their work. If you are an artist, you understand how this one quote may change an artists life by opening their eyes to TRUE creativity and individuality.
I have been to Florida, California, Mexico, Canada, New Hampshire and Maine... The Cape and Newport Rhode Island were so mellow. I need to meet some cultured people who can teach me their way of life over a beer.
As for those who I've met already, I have never been more satisfied. I'm not one of those who have an endless list of "BFF"'s, I have few close friends who know me for ME.
Mom and Dad, ... I forgive you.
