I enjoyed listening to this interview so much! Mr. Ramsey explained how his childhood had always been around artists because his dad and mom were both artists, and his brother became a musician. He later went to VCU to get a degree with graphic design, but continued to maintain his passion for painting and drawing sketches. Later in his career when he got laid off from his job, he found his real passion for art and made it his entire job. It was very interesting to hear how he morphed his skills into a career and what truly motivated him every day to create new pieces that can be used as bird houses or cabinets.
It was funny to hear that his wife actually calls Mr. Ramsey with creative ADD because once he sees something he has a strong urge to create. In fact, many of his ideas are fluid in the sense that they all contribute to each other because he is constantly inspired and constantly changing his artistic vision. My favorite story in the interview was when he told Ria that he saw a sketch of an odd bike in a gallery and immediately decided to actually use metal and create the weird looking bike in real life. Many of Mr. Ramsey's stories about his growth as an artist resonated with me and inspired my own journey because of his positive attitude, relentless dedication, and unique outlook on what art can mean as a hobby and as a job.
