I'm now writing art criticism for two publications. In addition to my ongoing work for WhiteHot Magazine, which has a contemporary fine art angle, I recently started writing for Cartwheel Art. This new Los Angeles based online publication has a specific niche focus on emerging artists, surrealism, outsider and street art. It's a little edgy and a perfect compliment to my continued writing for WhiteHot.
Does all this art criticism drag me away from my own painting and fiction writing, you ask?
It is a major time commitment, but it's something I'm passionate about. The challenge will be to make my own creative pursuits a priority. I'm working on that!
BTW - I attended art school before going to university for two journalism degrees. Of course, that gave me the foundation to paint as well as to write about art. I'm always seeking new ways to build on that foundation. I just picked up a charming and clever little book at the Getty Center Museum store, after viewing, Florence: The Dawn of the Renaissance - a lovely exhibit which ends February 10th. I'm adding it to my tower of inspirational art reference books: 101 Things to Learn in Art School by Kit White.
I hope you'll visit both magazines and comment there as well!
