Here's the condensed version to spare you the long-winded driveled version. I'm a modest collector here in Southern California. Certainly not rich. And not even the sharpest knife in the drawer. I have though become very passionate about art and artists from these particular countries, and am working to build a notable collection of art, encourage others to collect this type of art, and basically enhance the world of art and beauty here in Southern California. Not bad for a schlub.
