1 ) What has been your favorite and least favorite experience while reviewing an artist? 

2 ) Do you believe, as an art critic, that you need to see a piece or exhibit in person to write about it? Or can you reference others' work, images you see online, and from overhearing about the artists' work?

3 ) Have you ever received backlash or negative reactions due to the nature of the subject matter you write about?

4 ) Pop culture moments, such as the Flintstones are a popular reference for you why is this? 

5 ) How have your experiences such as fashion writing shaped your style and approach to writing about artwork?
