Ms. Hicks
October 3rd 2014
One comment that she specifically made that really struck me was how she
mentioned that she created art for herself and that oftentimes she didnt want other people
to see it. The frugal and practical side of me says that this is ridiculous and a waste of
time. However it is really honorable that she spends all that time and money to make
herself happy and hide it away. That was a really powerful moment for me that she didnt
want to show her accomplishments off. It was unlike anything I have ever heard from an
artist. But it made me realize that that is exactly what a real artist should do; a real artist
should make art for themselves and for the internal feeling of happiness and pride that
they get from the piece, not to create something just for the approval of others or to show
off. I would love to see what she has created that she has not shown to anyone, and would
also be interested in asking her what her favorite piece was that she has created and why.
I deeply respected her for that and sincerely enjoyed having her speak to us.
