“I am a lifelong career artist, which itself is a bit of a miracle. It's really challenging to be a career artist.

But anything outside of that norm is going to struggle to get funded. The people who are not "the norms" deserve the chance to make art. I think it's great for all of us to consume all these voices, and that happens when you support these voices that need to be supported because they're not the automatic choice coming out of the gate.”
