What a great opening, but then Vartan always does it right! You might not know this but Vartan Poghosian, who also owns 4 Elements in Utica NY, is my mentor! He may not even realize the influence he has, but he has had a tremendous effect on me – my art, my business model and my overall outlook on things! HE is a wonderful artist himself, but, he is also a leader in our local art scene. He is always open to sharing his knowledge. He is an amazing person with a gentle spirit. I am so fortunate to call him my friend.
