This list of questions is an invitation to artists to share their experience and thoughts on matters such as creative process, artistic practice, aesthetic leanings, personal proclivities, protocols and frameworks, etc.

 

It’s a long list and none of the questions are compulsory. However, the more complete and detailed the responses, the more equipped we will be to capture the many facets of the artist that you are, and present you and your artwork in a thoughtful, nuanced and meaningful way. Please help us articulate the most accurate and compelling narrative of who you are and what your art has to say to the world.
