I like talking about myself and my own art, but I like talking to other artists just as much. So when I started this blog at the beginning of 2010, I thought it would be fun to post interviews with artists I meet at exhibition previews, or on visits to their studios. I also interviewed people with other connections to the arts, such as writers, and an owner of an independent bookstore. Most of these interviews were conducted via email: I sent five or six questions, the artists emailed their replies to me. They all have interesting things to say about their process, and their own particular field of artistic expertise. I hope you have as much fun reading through these as I had putting them together.
