Another Draw

7/10/2015

 
Picture
I know that beginning a career as a visual artist can be difficult as it isn't a typical career choice. An artist's life is a vulnerable one, filled with so many variables. I believe that there is success in collaboration and hope that in sharing some of the wisdom that has been shared by many others along with the experience I have gained on my creative journey I can help someone else on theirs.

So, after a few more edits I had ordered a second copy and now want to give this one to someone who would like a copy, too.  You can take a peek into the book online here.  And to enter the draw, just  leave your name here, on facebook, twitter or send me an email (links upper right).  I'll select a winner on July 15.  Good luck!

Hi Veronica,
Don't need another copy, because I already have one. But like to know the things you edited.

I've corrected a few typos, added a few more photos, and included a little info on experimentation, photographing artwork, writing an artist's statement, mentors, and a reading list. I'll email you Koos.

How lovely of you to gift one of your books. I'm teaching a group of 19 budding Artists and am leading them to every resource I can to help their growth. Will advise them about your book. Kind Regards Judith from Australia

Hi Judith from Australia! I admire art teachers and though I do it so infrequently myself I understand the importance and huge value teachers have...and how difficult it can be. Hats off to you.

Veronica, you know that I love your paintings...your approach, story, colours and textures.
I have read your preview of the book online and am totally hooked. Please let me be the one to 'win' a copy.
I also love your photography of your work and process.

Hello Veronica, long ago we spoke about mentoring, I was super excited. Then you moved, disappeared from my line of sight. Not having a contact for you I sadly allowed myself to be pushed by the same program which used you as a guiding example, I followed their advice which also sunk me. I wish I had known the truth.
Years pass by and one day I see a large mural of a chair in Irricanna and realize you are back, yet I hesitated searching you out. When I found your blog I was surprised to find your quiet chairs replaced. Your work now an exuberant energy that agitates with color and movement.
I am happy for you, seeing others persevere gives encouragement.
Thank you.

Hi Teresa...I've thought of you several times through these years. I think a huge part of this creative life is perseverance...and remembering to enjoy the process, to work for the sake of the work.

Hi Veronica,
Would love a copy of your book; I really resonate with your artwork. It makes me happy just to look at it, but then as I look closer and see the many layers of marks and shapes I get pulled in deeper-into the spirit of your work. It's a wonderful experience. :)

Veronica Funk link
7/14/2015 09:45:33 am

That is so nice of you Mary...thank you very much.
