Oregon Art Beat, me, and everyone I know

Monday 11 January 2010 - Comments / Commentaires (0)

When KC contacted me about featuring my work on Oregon Art Beat, I was thrilled, but my exhilaration was followed immediately by an overwhelming sense of terror.  I was convinced I would be boring.  So I did what any portrait artist would do: I put my subjects in the spotlight!

A number of portrait sitters came to my rescue.  I am grateful to Luis, Zan, Renate, Christine, Allie, and Bonnie who represented Apple Pie and revealed the many ways I find subjects for my conceptual series. 



Kevin Cook and Oregon Art Beat

And Kevin earned hero status in a half hour interview at my studio in September 2008.  As I asked him all sorts of questions, he had my camera in his face and the OPB film crew’s as well.  This set-up would have resulted in double the self-consciousness and double the gawkiness for me, but Kevin was at his best.  I can only hope that some of his glamour and cool rubbed off on me!

The Art Beat segment airs on Thursday at 8:00 PM and will be posted here once it’s been on television!
