I met Daniel Joseph Martinez in 2011. . . It was an experience like i’ve never had before, we talked about Art, where it’s been and where it is going. Since then i’ve been working on my art, and design, keeping mostly to myself, not expressing much. One of his pieces came into my life unexpectedly in 2021, a whole ten years after our talk. I had the pleasure of putting it up for display, bringing my mind back to everything we talked about, sparking my creative flame reminding me to never stop dreaming, never stop making, never stop believing. Daniel, i’ve been staying strong. . . . .
