I am a freelancer to the core.  Always have been.  So, when my professors recommended that I go directly from the shelter of school to the shelter of a gallery back in 2003, I was deeply offended.  While I recognize that no one can get on in society without playing along with society, I just don’t believe in hierarchies and status plays, and that’s why I created Critics Critiqued.

It may be that an art dealer could position my work better than I can and could further my career.  And it may be that one day I’ll work with one and that I’ll enjoy it.  But, for the moment, I’m happy making my own way: making my living on my terms.
