Hi Simon,
I'm Ginger. Liu is my last name.
I know DRKRM. They are one of my clients and I've exhibited my work there.
How are you on for Wednesday in Liverpool for a meet. I have to be at an exhibition with my sister at 6 pm. Any time late afternoon would be good. No worries if you can't.
Cheers,
ginger

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your email.
I'm all for putting in the work if you need me. I see at experience. I live in LA and I'm spending time in the UK to do a little work but mostly to be with family and intend to be back for long periods of time every year -preferably he summer. :) I'm hoping to be back in LA in the next few months but will be back in the UK again this year. I want to eventually start up my own gallery in LA and create more a photography scene there in the future years. I promote photo galleries there and in London as well as exhibit my own work. Your project sound big and exciting. Love to chat more in Liverpool soon.
Best,
Ginger
