I don't like getting caught up in the red tape and politics of art. I just
like to do it--both in my personal studio and marketing and in the classroom
with students, young and adult. I get the best results when I get my
students' work and mine out in the visual arena with the rest of the
academics. I feel that visual arts has an advantage over the others, in that
we do post our work for everyone to enjoy. There is nothing better than a
positive comment or expression of appreciation of the artwork that we display
around our school and community.
I realize it goes much further than that--politics, lobbying groups,
etc.--but there is only so much time to spread around.
Good Luck and would love to hear what others think.
