Heather Preston
September 2007

http://www.heatherprestonart.com

 

I feel pretty lucky to be an artist. First as a fine artist showing in galleries and teaching, then as a textbook illustrator, and then as a commercial illustrator. But creating art is a solitary way to spend a lifetime, all those thousands of hours at the easel or bent over a drawing board, reminding myself to breathe; and working all night to make a deadline. And then there’s all that research. Self-discipline and patience come with the territory, and time spent thinking tends to make an artist philosophical.

I admire all artists for their unique accomplishments, contributions and the beauty of their souls. The world needs its artists and I am grateful to the world for taking care of the rest.
