Ep 12: Interview the Interviewer w/ Sharon Butler, Painter & Founder of Two Coats of Paint

1 hour 15 minutes

This week I was really excited to have Sharon Butler on the podcast for the second installment of my "Interview the Interviewer" series. Sharon is a painter, writer and founder of the Two Coats of Paint Blog-azine which offers a space for alternative critical writing for the arts in the New York/Tri-State area. We nerd-ed out about paint brushes, spoke about her "Good Morning" drawings, and about allowing "bad" compositions into your work. We also talked about Two Coats of Paint's role in the NY art world and how to get started art writing. Check out the links below for more info about her projects:
