Art Practice Description:
I was born in 1984. Life for me as a kid started out comfortable. Middle class. Nothing special.
My father sold refrigeration equipment. Until the web robbed him of his job (according to him).
So times were not great for a while after that.
But my dad was able to find a new line of work, and by the time I was ready to go off to college (local), my parents could afford to pay my tuition. Great!
By 2006, I was sure I was an adult. And knew what I wanted to do with my life. I’m sure this isn’t the first time you hear this story.
Anyway, after thrashing around, taking various jobs – some of which even let me do stuff like graphic design! I decided to focus on actually doing a career in the art world.
I was able to educate myself on the current art world just by following the shows that were put up in NYC. I figured that was the target to aim for.
Now I’m a bit older. 34. And I understand I need some kind of a plan. Some kind of a path to follow.
So I’m giving this a try! So far it looks really useful! Here’s hoping!
