Essays on Being an Artist



Humboldt County is home to a large, diverse group of artists working in many different media and styles. Several artists, representative of this diversity, have been asked to contribute essays on "being an artist" — their views on what it's like to be an artist and how they approach their art, "from the inside."

Over time, we hope to have a substantial collection of these essays to offer on this web site.

Being a Painter - Susan Fox

Art: Acceptance of Dichotomy - Alan Sanborn

Mosaic Art - Laurel Skye

The Lone Eagle Artist in Paradise - Gwen Ontiveros

Open Studio Jitters - Libby George

All essays are © 2005-2007 by the contributing artists. All rights reserved.
