Chelsie Murfee Interview

Interviewed by Dirk Dzimirsky for his drawing blog!

I am honored Dirk included me in his drawing blog! As a former student, I learned so much from Dirk and cherish the memories made on my two trips to study in Germany. I am so thankful for my studio time, Dirk’s teaching, and the chance to create incredible friendships with international artists.

Boynes Artist Award Finalist Interview

…I LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE WHAT ADVICE THEY WOULD GIVE TO THEIR FELLOW ARTISTS/PHOTOGRAPHERS, WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE?

If you have a sensitive spirit, there is no shame in being private about your work as it develops. Though there is a perception in current culture that we must publicly share every moment, I find my best work comes from within me during periods of intense solitude. Be purposeful about guarding your studio time. It is easy to convince yourself that marketing, advertising, accounting, teaching, or even organizing your creative space count as studio time. While those tasks are essential, it is crucial to protect the time you spend creating.
