ARTIST LAUREATE AWARD INFO

What do you do now? Has your art evolved or changed?

It was validation that my work was appreciated by others.

What is one piece of advice you would give to an emerging artist?

I've moved away from photography and have begun painting. I don?t have much time to paint, so I consider myself a beginning painter.

Briefly, how would you describe the state of the arts locally, as well as national and beyond?

Don?t expect your artwork will make a living for you; be sure to augment those talents with skills that will pay the rent. Your creative thinking will put you ahead in those non-art jobs.

When I left San Jose I felt that the arts there were active, alive, immersed within the community. I can?t speak much about culture here. Nationally/internationally, there seems to be so much turmoil, I'm not aware that the arts have made any advancements.
