My Answers: 

1: Describe the last time you visited an art gallery or museum?  Last week we went to lunch in Old Town Alexandria, then wandered through the Torpedo Factory Arts Center. 

2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? Painting and photography. Maybe because I dabble. Most sculpture I really don't understand. 

3: In looking at art, are you looking for meaning, or simply pleasure? For me it is pleasure. There is a big debate if art is simply a way of telling a story to an unread mass.  

4: When was the last time you took an art class? In the early 1990s, I am well past due. 

5: What is your creative media? I am passionate about photography, and over the last year started to believe that some of what I do is worth sharing. I smear paint on canvas, I don't know if it is paining, but I find it relaxing and I enjoy it. I will warn you that if you come to visit and like one of my paintings, you may find it in the backseat of your car when you leave, in the words of Spo, I have heaps.
