The Artist sits on the bright red sofa. She has finished her last piece and has not started a new one yet. She may be thinking about the mural she has volunteered to do at the local school. Or she may already be thinking about the nights slowly getting darker.
What got you started?
I just always liked drawing people.
What was your big breakthrough?
I don't know if I had a breakthrough. I don't know if I've found it yet. I'm still waiting for it. Actually, realising that drawing was just as important as painting.
Who or what have you sacrificed for your art?
It's not really a sacrifice.
Have you done anything cultural lately?
I popped into an arts centre yesterday. But I only had time to look at the books. I've just read a really good book, though. Patrick Gale's 'Notes on an Exhibition'.
Are you fashionable?
I know what I like wearing. I know what suits me.
Do you suffer for your art?
Some days. Sometimes I just wish I could switch off for a minute.
What's your favourite film?
'Fanny and Alexander' by Bergman.
What's the greatest threat to art today?
Fashion.
What advice would you give a young artist just starting out?
Keep your vision.
The Artist flicks some dust from her skirt.
