Ep. 13: Nicole Reber — From Reformed Poet to LA Art Collector: How Living With Art Became a Way of Life

In this episode, Topper sits down with Nicole Reber — real estate agent, reformed poet, and passionate art collector based in Los Angeles. Nicole shares her journey from growing up in Ventura County and studying at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, to backpacking Europe and stumbling into the New York art scene. She talks about how artist trades sparked her collection, what it means to catch an artist "in the window," and why living with art is less about the market and more about living a beautiful life. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just art-curious, Nicole's story is a reminder that you can start collecting sooner than you think. This is a public episode.
