My printer make sense (An Interview)

Best known for her fine art photography and for her detailed ink drawings my printer has received attention and acclaim for her new abstract way.

319: When did you realise that you wanted to become an artist?

Printer: I wanted to be an artist; there were no other options.

319: What led you to the decision to study art?

Printer: I always imagined artists in their studio, my clichéd vision was that they sat the entire day in their studios and painted, or tinkered about. That appealed to me, and still appeals to me, but actually I sit in front of the computer more than I thinker about.

319: What are the differences between commercial and fine art?

Printer: Well obviously in commercial art you try to fulfil the requirements of the clients. So it was interesting to work with them. But as an artist you are absolutely free to do anything. It’s something about Format.

319: Did you have any problems approaching galleries with your work as a printer who makes art?

Printer: Definitely - like most other artists I experienced some difficulties in the beginning.

319: Why did you decide to become a professional artist, what were your personal motivations?

Printer: Independence, the desire to have no boss and to be able to do what I want. The autonomy; I felt from the beginning that the most important thing was that I would be autonomous.
