Who Stole the Fairy Tales Slav Krivoshiev 96
“The hidden metaphors in his compositions challenge the viewer to
look far beyond the surface. His colors and use of texture are metaphors
in their own right. Yet as one stands before his work warily, so
exactly does the allegory in the painting mimic the other reality - is it
the fear one might recognize in a scene expressing a reality kept at
a distance His works intimately connect places and times of familiar
stories and myths with unfamiliar visions.
“A Creative Psychology” 124
By: Barry W. Scharf
“Now that we have entered the new year of 2015
I have been contemplating what makes a person
creative and how they arrive at an expressive output.
I often go through thoughts of how I can better
myself and improve my work and a few questions
always come to mind. The why and how of what
makes me an artist.”
“Interview with Elizabeth Chapman” 132
At what age did you realize you were an artist
As long as I can remember I was creating and making
stuff. I was always an artist but did not realize it until I was
about 45 and working as a High School art teacher. It was
there that I realized I was more of an artist than a teacher.
