In the Art@Clarks gallery are several whimsical clay sculptures created by Wendy Gilbert.
When I asked her “What do you think is a successful piece of art ?” she answered “I think it is successful if I enjoyed the creation of it. I am focused on the process … from idea … to sketch … to a finished piece. The question is “does the finished piece match my initial vision?”
When asked “What is a successful artist?” She replied, “A successful artist is someone who can take an internal idea and externalize it. I am trying to create a narrative and communicate with my viewer. I do multiple pieces, a series, trying to reach this goal.”
