This week, we invited MOI GARCIA to the stu so that we can learn more about the legendary artist. Recently winning his FOURTH city-wide Best Fine Artist award, Moi’s iconic work that spans over 20 years has been consistently recognized and heavily praised by the city that it is all inspired by. During our episode, we hear about what goes into said career, and all of the surrounding elements, such as the values learned through family, balancing corporate art with fine art, and going cold turkey with the alcohol. Join us as we step into the world of MOI THE ARTIST.
