Game on For Artists: My Interview on Art Spiel

What can be done to place more power in artist's hands?

Broadly speaking: name the problems facing artists, and build systems to overcome them.

In a wide-reaching conversation with Etty Yaniv at Art Spiel, we discuss Imposter syndrome, MFAs, MBAs, turning 50, and how Netvvrk helps artists get the visibility they deserve.

To help you dig your teeth into this discussion, I want to start you with this excerpt on what's to come in my 2025. May you find power in experience.

For men, 50 represents a major milestone – a symbol of the knowledge and power accumulated over those years. For women, the number can evoke a sense of loss. We are past the childbearing stage and thus past our prime.

Well, that’s just bullshit and I refuse to play into a cultural narrative that doesn’t acknowledge my wisdom and my power.

What if we viewed 50 for what it really is – a new beginning, an awakening, a milestone that tells us the best is yet to come?

I don’t want this question to be hypothetical. I’m treating my 50th as a time for celebration. I have a lot more to do in this life and it took me this long to get the skills I need to achieve it. I’m excited about this new phase and I hope that other women will feel as energized as me when they hit it too.
