I'm an artist. And usually when I tell people I'm an artist, they just look at me and say, 'Do you paint?' or 'What kind of medium do you work in?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
I think people sometimes have a hard time placing me because I don't fit into a box. When they ask what I do at a cocktail party, I either say I'm a Renaissance woman or I'm a high-level madam. Lately I've been more comfortable saying I'm an artist, because that can cover a lot of different things.
I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.
When I was in high school, I thought I might be an artist. I was very good at drawing and painting.
There is actually no such thing as an Artist type. 'Artist' is just an economic designation, a box you tick on a form. We are all people, and we are all creative.
I get a lot of people that say, 'You know what, I heard that you're a painter, and I thought, 'Oh, another model who is saying she's an artist.' They assumed it was going to be a few splashes on a canvas.
I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I'm a bit of an artist.
I also paint, draw and I'm into film and photography as well, and the same thing applies to all of them. You're presenting this material to the general public and hoping that they're going to 'get' what you're doing. Some don't, some do.
I don't call myself an artist. I act. That's what I do.
I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.
