Old interview

Just re-read this old interview. Things haven't changed much and I am still happy with the answers I gave :-) http://stevegray.com.au/blog/sue-beyer/

In the studio

Back to life

Went to the studio for the first time in two weeks today. I really needed a break. I was so happy with what I got done this morning I can't wait to get back there this afternoon.
I have found a new lease on work by starting some new non-painting related experiments. You can see what I am up to here: http://www.suebeyer.com.au/blog/
I'm not sure what will come of these experiments, maybe nothing, but so far it has been worth it :-)

I'm getting a lot of hits on this blog and on my main website, from the uk with search terms like...

and
sue beyer artist facts
can anyone fill me in? are you all doing an assignment or school work? hope it isn't bad... :-)

In context

My work on a wall! I think it looks fantastic :-) Actually selling your work was almost looked down upon at uni. Heaven forbid you actually aim to make a living out of your art! That is my goal and I know it's going to be hard because I don't want to compromise to suit someone's interior design. I don't think I will need to somehow. And if that's seen as being conceited then C'est la vie. You can't please everyone.
