So the way this loosely works is that when you're tagged, you divulge 5 little known facts about yourself and then tag 5 other artists. It's a great way to introduce artists whose work you enjoy to a potentially wider audience, as well as have a bit of fun.
OK, Numero Uno- As an art student, I held some pretty weird entry level, "no experience needed" type jobs. One of these memorable experiences included cutting the belly fins off of cod fish, with blunt scissors, during a bleak winter in Provincetown, MA, at the local Fish Factory. The Factory closed soon after, and fell apart, literally, when the ice holding the building together melted. Some people had worked there for 30 years. They were given the sharp scissors.
Two: Beautiful watercolors knock my socks off. I could happily look at Sargent, Homer and Hopper watercolors for years.
Three: I collect Japanese prints.

Four: Desiderio, St. Gaudens, and Rodin bas reliefs make me happy.
Five: In the late 70's, I drove around this country on the tour bus with Archie Bell and the Drells, of "Tighten Up" fame. My husband was playing saxaphone with the band; we slept on the bus and drove all night many nights to the next gig, all over the South and West. Thankfully, the last gig was in Houston; we took a Greyhound to New Orleans, two suitcases in hand, and started our life here.
So after this brisk walk down memory lane, I would like to tag 5 artists whose work is always impressive. I hope that you'll check them out. They are Stephen Magsig, Marcia Molnar, Jens Ole Olsen, Deborah Paris and Qiang Huang.
