Would you consider yourself to be a social person?
Very social; I love teaching and love my students and am not even remotely
shy. On the other hand, I love my alone time. I tell my students that I think
you need both to be a good artist. When alone, one can truly create and
imagine....”creativity comes from silence”...James McNeil Whistler. But, all
artists need to counterbalance the alone time required with times of socializing. I feel I balance these two fairly well.
