This title cracks me up, but it honestly is all we discussed during this interview. I find the whole thing rather embarrasing and I’m not sure why since I am always fine showing my paintings to anyone and talking about why I paint and how I paint. The article tells how I’ve never had any formal training in art, but have a BA in anthropology from Tulane and did a couple years in a grad program in linguistics at UT. I’ve been sporadically creative for many years, but never considered myself an artist. I started out painting small boxes, moved into furniture and designing of how to projects for the crafts industry. Although I had painted on canvas for several periods, it was not until 2005 that I began to paint more regularly. I have found that with each painting I enjoy the process of discovery and learning and feel I will continue to paint for the rest of my life.
