Do
you make a living off your art? Yes

Do you collect anything? Playmobil
dragons

What's the
last artwork that you purchased? A print by Susan
Point, a Coast Salish from Vancouver, British Columbia. It's the best
thing I have on my walls.

What's your art-world pet peeve? I am tired of witnessing the attention lavished on rebellious young men spewing unfocused anger. Art is more interesting than that!

What's the last great book you read? "Before the Dawn" by Nicholas Wade.

What work of art do you wish you owned? A small Donald Judd or a shiny work by Cheryl Donegan would be nice; but to tell you the truth at the moment I am feeling encumbered by owning things.

What international art destination do you most want to visit? Japan

What underappreciated artist, gallery, or work do you think people should know about? Nancy Shaver. Canadian artist Emily Carr deserves more recognition in the United States. And I don't understand why the art of living Northwest Coast First Nations Artists is not recognized by the pluralistic art world I move in.
