What keeps you excited in the studio? New ideas, realizations, cognitions, discoveries.
Looking back at your trajectory as an artist, how would you say your work has developed? More true to myself, more distinct style.
What role do you think the artist has in today’s society? A very important one, and we can’t lose it, be the one thing an AI can’t duplicate.
What’s the most important advice you could give to an aspiring artist? Do what you want.
Does age matter in art? Why or why not? Not to me, but I’m excited by young artists who are dedicated, love to nurture talent.
What can we look forward to from you next? A solo show.
Is there anything else you would like to share about being an artist later in life? It’s the best to still be a woman who is becoming.
