Irene Clouthier

It was very interesting to hear Irene Clouthier speak from a working artist's point of view. I was a little disappointed to hear that she had to freelance as a graphic designer to support herself; that's just part of the game. Mrs. Clouthier mentioned that she has to divide her time between marketing her material and making her material which is also another gut check for aspiring artists. Mrs. Clouthier also spoke on how unpredictable the flow of creativity can be.

In terms of Mrs. Clouthier's work, I think it was interesting to see what she created within the technical limitations of the past. Alot of her work has a surreal, collage feel.
