- Q: Over your 40-year career as an artist, you have managed to keep presentation, technical, subject matter, conceptual consistencies in your art practice and work. How do you manage to filter out inspirations that might be luring at that moment but do not support your art practice? For example, you master pastel works. There must have been moments when you might have been inspired to make oil works. How do you keep such inspirations aside. (Question from Vedica Art Studios and Gallery)

Hi Barbara – I wonder if you remember me – from San Diego – cousin of both Carolyn Marks and Ben Schoenzeit and fellow pilot. My wife and another couple will be in NY March 8-12 for a family function, and wonder if you would be in town, and if you would like to meet. We’d love to see your studio, but we’ll leave the details up to you. We’re all staying at the Hotel Roosevelt – My cel is 619-884-9796 – Please let me know.
Best, George and Bette Marks –
