Watching a woman on youtube who claims to be an artist.

She's in an art supply store. She's never seen the large plastic 4 basin paint palettes before.

She's never seen Strathmore Charcoal paper in a large roll before. She's never seen open stock markers before.

So she's been in prisonsince birth
