The challenge / Le défi

There’s nothing quite like a painting that’s as big as my studio to teach me a thing or two about how I paint.  Ce tableau est aussi grand que mon atelier, et il va me réapprendre comment peindre.

Do you call yourself an artist? / Prenez-vous le titre d’artiste?

The 1960s radical separatist feminist in my head

I have a friend who hears her mom’s voice in her head.  It comments now and again on her behavior and chimes in when she’s making decisions.  It’s the same for me, only the voice in my head sounds like a 1960s radical separatist feminist.

Sympathetic magic

In this vlog, I talk about sympathetic magic not as a supernatural phenomenon, but as a concept that reveals what’s special about portraiture.
