Uploading Digital Photos; Writing Descriptions of My Work & Working Processes Creating Quality Files for Archival on Demand Prints & Cards of my Art. Blogging, Networking, Research & Outreach. I also do Digital Prints exploring iPhoto Tools. For Me It's All About Bringing Technology Through The Heart Chakra and Humanizing it!!! |
| What is art? Art Is A Window Of Perception: looking deeply into the Soul of Being! And, bringing back Tracks of Light for All Who Witness. |
| When do you get your best ideas? Every Moment! It's about being Aware, Being Present, Being Clear: A Clear Channel... |
| How do you evaluate whether an idea is good or not? You experience the work and you know the technical part is easy; you got it or you didn't!!! The Mysterious part is easy to, it grabs you or not. |

| What do you think about public funding for the arts? more the better |
| Is art necessary? Absolutely!!! The Soul and Spirit must have Food!! |
| Does it pain you to let go of a piece you have sold? Yes and no; I select Nova Cynthia's Nova Cynthia's out of each series I create, that way I have a lovely valuable Collection of my own work to live with: and I create Artists Approved Archival Reproductions (Prints on Demand) of much of my Work including my Artist Trading Cards: Because I want to live with all my ART in some form as well as have it available for All who Benefit from it! |

| In art, there is no guide. How do you know what the next step is? The Art tells you: it is a Partnership; a Dance! |
| What role have the figures of art dealer, gallery owners, representatives, and intermediaries in general played in your career? They are very helpful: Partnerships formed with the Appropriate Ones I liken to a great Marriage, and are very Beneficial to my Career and my work as an Artist. I am also in complete control of how select works become available in other forms to enter the world; Through Redbubble and my online Arts Blog. I am also checking into opening an Estsy Store. I am also interested in building Partnerships with Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers and Decorators!!! And I've always had Great Relationships with my Private Collectors who often become Lifelong Friends. |
| Do you personally collect any items? YES! What appeals to me is a lot is sustainable clothing and home furnishings. FASHION is my passion; a favorite to collect and wear, you know it's body art. Sarongs, shoes, undies, bras, tights, socks, hats, gloves, scarves, tanks, yoga clothes, jeans, femme dresses, oh yea! I also love multi-media & Book Arts! i also collect money & coins from around the world and am in the process of designing my own artist trade currency ( a new form of indie DIY fun exchange) and will trade it for yummy things like organic vegies, chinese herbs, indie made clothes, films, music, books, dances and cool events, medical-dental care, ph cards, living and studio space |
