Interview with an artist....

1) What is your favorite kind of medium to use?
C.H.: I really enjoy the basics. I love to just sketch out my work with pencil and overlay it with pen. It gives a really nice presentation and makes the marks really stand out, and makes them look sharper.
2) What got you into art?
C.H.:My mom and sister used to draw and paint all the time. I kinda grew up around it. My mom would do woodworking and paint murals on the walls of our house. It was pretty much all around me.
3) What is one piece that your working on currently?
C.H.: I am working on a peice that requires me to redo the same picture ten times, each time using a different medium .I chose to do a tea cup. You would think that it is a simple feat, but trying to be original and creative redoing the same thing is difficult. Hopefully it will turn out okay.
4) What is your favorite piece that you have created so far?
C.H.: My favorite piece so far is a still life of a toy truck and cabbage. It was done in prisma colored pencils. It took almost three weeks to complete, but it is my favorite because of all the color that I put into it.
5) What is your inspiration?
C.H.:I am inspired by multiple things. Right now I would say that it has to be nature. It changes so much and has so many colors, and contours to sketch. The possibilities are endless.
6) What kinda of art work do you enjoy doing the most?
C.H.: I love landscapes. They are so peaceful and simple. They make the best art!
