In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston sits down with Alex Farkas, Co-Founder and Gallery Director of UGallery.

Alex shares with Preston the importance of UGallery being a family company, his love of art, changes in the online art world, a history of art in his family, the importance of focusing on what matters as a company, custom made boxes, curating a small and deliberate roster of artists, and much more.
