Q:Has your childhood been a big influence on your work? If so, please explain.Becky Way: My second (or third) childhood hasbeen a larger influence in my work than actual childhood. I did draw a lot as achild, with everything and ON everything I could get my hands on.
Q:Do you have a favorite location or object to use for subject matter in yourwork?BW: I like still life objects because theydon't move, the light stays the same, and there are no bugs involved. I do liketo draw outside and take photos to turn into abstract landscapes in the studio.For fun, I love to fill sketchbooks with drawings and sketches of people andanimals.
Q:What is your best piece of advice for an emerging artist?BW: Learn to draw. Study with teachers whosework you admire. Read books written by artists you admire. But above all, learnto draw, because drawing isn't learning how to coordinate your hand and eye,but is rather learning how to see. If you can see well, it will translate intoyour painting.
