A year and one month.

It felt like I was kind of like treading water in the same place.

Ever since I went to graduate school in 2000 to Rhode Island School of Design and then graduated and went into the career field.

But that was 23 years ago.

I've been making strides, but it often felt like I was confused as I was making progress.

And I also felt like I had some failures along the way where an important exhibition just disappeared.

I felt like I didn't put my best foot forward or I didn't communicate with a gallerist in a positive way and so on and so forth.

And I also had children in 2017, 2016.

Yeah.

So that also put everything on a stop, like halt.

And I had to move from New York to Boston to be near family.

Since then, I feel like I've been building momentum again.

But I really felt like I wanted some real feedback from serious artists.

And I wasn't really getting that real feedback.

And I wanted more targeted strategies.

I think to move from point A to point B, and I wanted to not be so confused.

And so when I saw you on Instagram, and you were saying some very encouraging things, I looked into your website, and I think it was called the masterclass.

It was like the video.

So that was eye opening for me.

I watched it.
