I haven’t painted for real and don’t consider myself to be a painter yet. Nonetheless. My painting The Furies, inspired by a friend from a past life and still relevant today.

I once spent an entire semester in college writing an artist statement for a project that I never even presented, because my professor made me go back again and again and rewrite my artist statement.

The class was called Sex Lies and Everything Else and a was taught by my favorite pariah Robert Stewart. He was known for cutting through your bullshit artistic facade and forcing you to really examine what you were doing and why you were doing it; He was also known for making at least one student cry per semester.

So Robert, this one is for you; my Artist Statement for the Smartphone Art Show #interff, it is less than 140 characters, so it can be tweeted, and about as direct as I can imagine.

I am now officially 4 weeks away from dropping off my work for the first gallery/group show that my work has been a part of in over 20 years. Nervous? Not really, but ask me again in 3 weeks while I am scrambling to get everything printed and framed.

Share and enjoy!
