Finding Your “Voice” as a Self-Taught Artist

Video Transcript

Hi. This is Christina Varga from the Varga Gallery in Woodstock, New York. And on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going to show you how to be a self-taught artist. Not an easy thing. Alright, well how did I become an artist? I moved to New York City and was trying to work in the movies then. I was getting very frustrated and then somehow my job took me to an art supply store because I was buying a Filo Fax for my boss and the salesperson there told me I didn't need to bother buying professional grade stuff because I wasn't a professional artist, so of course I bought all the professional grade stuff just to show him, and then I took my work to a gallery and they told me I'd never be more than a Sunday painter, and so I said, "Well, you just watch." And that's how I became an artist. I've been one-upping everybody sense. Yes, tell me I can't do it, that's the first way for me to prove that I can.
