About Me

Gairdt Edwards: The key is to never stop working. The issue with being an artist--whether you're trained or just skilled, or you just like to color and draw--is to never quit working. It is sometimes very difficult to sit down and put a pencil to paper or kick it for a few hours with some paint and a couple of brushes. Further, it is inexplicable the amount of space that is taken up by this fine art crap! It is much easier to be a graphic designer if you are trying to consolidate your items. I have seriously considered leaving paintings by the dumpster when I relocate (which I do often because I am also a chef). I have given pieces to family, sold a couple, traded one for a recliner, etc. I have shown in galleries, one museum, and a bunch of coffee shops. The reality is that work is just not being bought, nor sold, unless the artist is very well known, or dead. But the moral of the story is to never stop working... ever. If it is a part of you, then you know what I mean.
