Outsider Artist (my ass)
when i first started painting
someone tould me i was
"outsider artist"
which made sense to me
as i am completely self taught from the Ozarks
and have never had any real gallery support
(ok thar was that lady in florida who stole my art
at her coffee shop gallery)
At some point not long after that
famous outsider artist Anne Marie Grgich contacted me
and wanted to trade art with me
so i sent her one of my paintings
and she sent me one of hers...
i was quite happy about that as she is
really good at painting
Around this time she invited me
to her Yahoo Outsider Artist group
which was a place where all the outsiders and gallerys
got together on the internet which
i joined hoping something good
might come of it
but it didnt take long for me to ask
her the wrong questions
and she quickly kicked me out of the group
which turned out to be one of the biggest breaks
i have received in life
A couple of years later
after failing miserably to find a good gallery
i found the Tesuque Reservation Flea Market in New Mexico
where i was allowed to paint
and things have gone just fine since then
but its my first chance to publicly thank
Anne Marie Grgich for kicking me out of her
Outsider Art Group
im just no good at organized groups
and plus im not an outsider artist anyway
(i personally doubt thay exist except maybe on aisle B a the flea theres this guy
with a chainsaw who does good bears)
im way beyond any sort
of labels or groupings now
im a flea market artist
