How did you get into debt?
I accumulated debt raising my children when making art, raising a family and teaching could not cover the bills. Credit card debt is how I paid for winter coats, paints, new roof, dental bills, etc.

How does your economic reality effect your art?
I spend most of what I make trying to pay back what I owe, charge art supplies to credit cards, and try to keep the debt from growing. This cycle is oppressive. Despite years of trying, I am not free.

Would your work look different if you weren't in debt?:
My brushes would not be so sad and my paints would not come from jumble sales. The expansion of my work investigating new materials could be funded.
