What has been the most frustrating part of being an artist: MONEY....
Has this year brought about any changes in your work, and if so what are they: Working smaller. My life has situated me to work with a 12" x 24" etching press and I must make most of my work to conform to those constraints. This is a self imposed challenge created by both practicum and as a formal artistic regiment or exorcise.

What is the most moving piece of artwork that you have seen in person: Again a close to impossible question to answer but, Giotto's murals in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy.
