Hi. This is Christina Varga from the Varga Gallery in Woodstock, New York. And on behalf
of Expert Village, today I'm going to show you how to be a self-taught artist. Not an
easy thing. Alright, well how did I become an artist? I moved to New York City and was
trying to work in the movies then. I was getting very frustrated and then somehow my job took
me to an art supply store because I was buying a Filo Fax for my boss and the salesperson
there told me I didn't need to bother buying professional grade stuff because I wasn't
a professional artist, so of course I bought all the professional grade stuff just to show
him, and then I took my work to a gallery and they told me I'd never be more than a
Sunday painter, and so I said, "Well, you just watch." And that's how I became an artist.
I've been one-upping everybody sense. Yes, tell me I can't do it, that's the first way
for me to prove that I can.
