"doctor's hours"
sometimes nyfa (new york foundation for the arts) brings together artists with curators/critics/gallerists for one-on-one portfolio review sessions. i've been a "patient" a few times and have gotten some valuable advice. i'm here tonight in between appointments.

sometimes, of course, since you can talk with different people, you get conflicting opinions. one person told me she thinks a lot of commercial galleries would be very interested in my work (because she hasn't seen much like it), and asked if i have approached any, while another said that i should keep trying to show in non-profit spaces.
i hope they are both correct. i want to be able to keep creating new work and to share what i make.
