PUNCH STREET STUDIO/GALLERY

The question we ask ourselves as artists is, when does one cross that threshold from amateur to professional? When can you fill in the blank space for profession, with artist? At what point will the ATO take your art business as serious rather than as a hobby?

Still, we turn up for work with the intention to translate images in our minds and memories into 2D images on canvas or paper.

As Chuck Close says: “If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.”
