Hey, I'm outside at the bus stop in West New York, and I ran into a multimedia street artist. Tell me what your name is. Hi. My name is Marcia Kazares. And give us your instagram name. Art underscore. Okay, we have to check this out too. It's beautiful. I'm going to post some pictures later in conjunction with this. Well, but the art is beautiful
Hi, Avis. Thank you so much for sharing this. That is so beautiful. And, yeah, I always feel like I meet such incredible artists while I'm, like, passing through places, and I've always wanted to stop for a minute and talk to them and get to know them. So thank you so much for doing that, and I can't wait to hear more
It kind of reminds me of deb, who is on here a lot, and she oftentimes will do something similar when she sees somebody in public. She'll do these little conduct, these little mini interviews, and I think that's so awesome just to get people intrigued with people out there who want to hear about what I'm doing. It's it's just very special. It's great to be heard. So thanks for giving the artist voice on this beautiful platform today

And to tie point, again, it's a very giving thing to do and it creates its own form of art, right? Because right now, our impact with each other, to witness each other, and then to kind of talk about the meaning of why public art is so important, I mean, I kind of want to jump into that a little bit because as Jay said, there's lots of ugliness around and all of a sudden there's something beautiful

I don't have a lot of examples for that, but what I do have examples for is one of my favorite things in the world, which is found poetry, which just shows the way poetry is just out there in the world. And kind of everything is a poem, if you look at it as a poem. And I think similarly, everything is art if you look at it as art, which is to say, there's beauty in even very mundane words and beauty in very mundane things

Thank you, Jay. Thank you for the kind words. You know, sometimes you see such beautiful art all the time, and there's no artist but just the fact that I was waiting for the bus, and here she is painting this in the middle of it. And so now now my mission is to go around

And she was just there, and then when I got off the bus later on that day to go home, I walked by there and she had finished, so I just added another photo and I added a photo in Jay's comment, too, that shows she did two sides and she did two different pictures on both sides. But I really would like to go around the neighborhood and just see if I could find these fixtures that they painted on

I'm hoping to use this platform and other platforms just to be a better human and to reach out and just make a space where there's no space. And sometimes you don't think about it, but sometimes I get this pool to say, you can't let this opportunity pass you by. And I believe that that's what happened with the lady because the bus was late and I didn't even think about actually turning on the app when I did
