Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Hmmmm... Not really a 'business' per se -- I've been an artist all my life except for a fifteen year hiatus in the business world. I suppose 1991/1992 I resumed my full-time Art 'career'...
What is your primary product or service?
Art. Currently that means mainly large-scale paintings, drawings, and woodblock prints, although I still produce some artsy furniture and photographs
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Seems to me I ALWAYS wanted to 'be an artist'... My mom was a student at the Kansas City Art Institute while I was 4 to 6 years old. My Dad was an amateur photographer with a basement darkroom. I suppose my direction must have been set during kindergarten?
