interview with an artist

My best friend Melody Skinner is a folk artist. meaning she takes things from around the house, or antique things and paints on them using parts of the materials...



Me: How important is art to you?
Melody: It's the only way to permantly express myself. Words fade away, art doesn't. So its extremely important.

Me: How important is color to you?
Melody: I love color. Color can show emotions, feelings with an intensity words cannot.

Me: What got you started painting?
Melody: I really cannot remember. I just remember always loving it.

Me: Have you ever considered selling your work?
Melody: It would be nice to get money for doing something i absolutely love, but thats not why i do it.
