Enjoyed this interview! I completely agree with the “fits and starts” part here about how no one sees the struggle and disappointments behind an artist’s successes. It’s as if an artist’s life is supposed to be perfect like their art. The struggle of the contemporary artist’s life does not need to be hidden away, as if it would detract from their art. Hooray to Christine for sharing and being transparent about being an artist!

Amanda, thanks so much listening! Wow that’s something…only 20%! But it shows me that even with a name and prominence in the art world…there are things worth applying for…and that rejections happen to everyone!

Thank you so much for listening Donna! Totally true that it is all entwined with the art process…and only by going through it…does one get to those successess and acceptances!

Once I interviewed for an artists assistant position at a prominent sculptor’s gallery and studio. He wanted me to apply for public art calls, they said to prepare for rejection because they only get accepted to 20% of the calls they apply for, and he was a well known sculptor who had a whole team working for him and his own gallery.
