CCE- I remember when we started our email conversation 5 years ago after you purchased something from my store and sent a lovely email with a photo of how you framed your piece. After that you started showing me your own work and before I knew it, you were booked for a show at Schmancy. Since then it has been a huge treat to see how far your career has gone from tons of shows, your work with Chronicle Books, magazine features, etc…I could go on and on. What have been some of your highlights over these past 5 years?
LC- Yes, it’s true that you gave me my first break! I am forever indebted to you for that amazing opportunity. I am at the point now where I turn shows down because I do not have time to do more than one or two solo shows a year, and sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the amount of work I have so it feels really amazing to remember back to how I felt that first time anyone wanted to show my work. I remember getting that email from you and being so excited that my heart was jumping out of my chest. I barely even thought of myself as an artist five years ago, so it is amazing to think about all that has happened since then. I think the main highlight for me is being able to wake up everyday and do what I love. I have the privilege of spending my days doing what I love and I am not shy about that fact that I love this life and it makes me happy. Lots of good things have come to me since I started, including lots of the things you already named above (shows, an amazing agent, press, etc). I feel so lucky.
