Impact of Art-Math ConferencesImpact of Art-Math Conferences

I attended 12+ Art-Math conferences since 1997when Nat introduced me to this community.

Everytime I brought home stimulating ideasthat allowed me to grow personally.

I will show you some examples,as a thank-you to the people who inspired me.
