Interview with:NewUser [zura]
ART
 | What do you do? How do you define yourself as an artist? I do acrylic painting. I create unique designs on furniture, rugs, boxes, and canvas. I also do art journaling and pencil drawings. |
| What is your message? Hmmmm, I guess it is to have fun. Seems that most everything is so serious these days. Creativity breeds fun, unless you get into perfectionism. I would hope that everyone would seek the fun in everything they do. |
| Your biography in four lines. Came into the world full of wonder and curiosity.
Spent most of adult life being criticized for it.
Decided to embrace it.
Now I rock it. |
| Do you upload your work to the web? If so, where could we see it? http://creativeclown.com |
| How is an idea born? For you, what is inspiration? There is not a single answer I can give to this question. Sometimes ideas come when I'm falling asleep. Sometimes music inspires me. I'd say most often, though, it is visual, especially with color. |
| What role does technology play in your creative process? I blog, sell my art online, and print some elements that I use in my art journal. |
| What is art? A means of expression. |
| When do you get your best ideas? At night. Always at night. |
| How do you evaluate whether an idea is good or not? I usally don't. I'm pretty impulsive. |
| When and how did you begin to see yourself as an artist? I have always done some sort of creative "work". But I couldn't actually say I was an artist until I sold some of my work. |
| Why do so many artists and creators have such volatile personalities? I'm not sure I agree. I do find many artists have impulses and strong emotions. I think it's a chicken/egg question. |
| Which artists do you admire and how do they influence your work? Friday Kahlo - her courage!! Leonardo DaVinci - his dedication and curiosity. |
| In art, there is no guide. How do you know what the next step is? Oh, wow, I don't know. It just seems to come ... it just makes sense. |
| What role have the figures of art dealer, gallery owners, representatives, and intermediaries in general played in your career? I have avoided any situation where there is someone who thinks they know more about my art than I do. |
| What advice would you give to those just beginning? Do it!! And do it again. And again. And don't stop. |
