The motivation to paint seems more pure, or at least more personal, when the artist is doing it for herself.
Liza CampbellFrom beginning to end, the novel [Dissemblers] took about three and a half years to write. I didn't write it chronologically.
Liza CampbellI did make several trips to the very wonderful [Georgia] O'Keeffe museum. Besides the art (my favorite paintings are from her Pelvis series) my favorite thing about the museum is the architecture. I love how enormously tall the doors are - it is like going into a church. There is also something home-like about the layout of the museum. I wish I could live there!
