Wow, I've been at the studio Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and I'm heading in today to teach a class. I can feel the momentum building!
When you are the boss and you call the shots, it is a lot harder to show up than you'd think. People tell me that I am lucky to have so much freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility and with responsibility, stress. Enormous amounts of stress.

You were also at the studio Friday, although not to work when we were there.
(and a fine studio it is, too. I wish we could find a space like that for Kelly.)
It was so great to have you all here in person! What a treat. You would have passed out if you saw the studio where I made Joseph and Mary- huge!
I might take today and rest :-)
This is such great news! No wonder they call them "struggling artists," it seems an uphill battle.
We keep watching your studio website for when your limited edition sculptures will be available. It's extremely unlikely we can afford "real art," but we'd like to try!! I think we missed the opportunity for the limited editions of your Joseph and Virgin Annunciate. Keep your faithful readers updated on when your pieces are available!!
Anon. It is never too late for the bronze editions of Joseph and Mary. Send me an e-mail if you are seriously interested.
As far as "real art" is concerned, my suggestions for begining to collect art is to go to student shows. Students work very hard and are very serious artists, but because they don't have a lot of experience oft times the work is very inexpensive. PLUS, having a piece of art sell during a student show is incredibly encouraging to the budding artist. We need all the encouragement we can get.
Also, look into ceramics and lithographs. When you travel, by a small painting from a local artist to remember your trip. We have several wonderful paintings from Italy :-)
I don't have any large oils that weren' given to me, or large sculptures for that matter. Art is expensive, as it should be. Work up to the big stuff.
Most televisions these days go for $1000 or more. Who pays that much for art? Yet the average house has 3+ televisions.
The artist struggles becaue of cultural priorities.
