WORKING GIRL by nature, so I can introduce my work and myself easily, but getting the word out requires organization and takes time away from my painting. Knowing the best outlets for my work, such as creative networks and exhibits open to emerging artists is something I would like to improve upon. What about the most rewarding? When I complete a piece and the process and result make me happy. Or when I get emails or calls from people who have purchased a painting and they want to let me know how much they enjoy it. Is it difficult to balance kids and a career? For me, I just work around that schedule. My kids are still young so I want to be around a lot while that is still appealing to them! My studio is close to my home and I have access to it any time. I don’t mind working later in the evening when all the chaos is over. How do you relax at the end of the day? Drinking a glass of wine with my neighbors or my special dude. If you weren’t an artist, what other profession would you explore? Set designer or stylist. I love hands-on creative work. The Framework Girl has
a love of art and design. What advice do you have for anyone looking to make a first investment in art? Buy what you love and invest in a large piece if you can. It will have more impact. fw framework
