Liza Campbell Quotes

• I did make several trips to the very wonderful [Georgia] O'Keeffe museum. Besides the art (my favorite paintings are from her Pelvis series) my favorite thing about the museum is the architecture. I love how enormously tall the doors are - it is like going into a church. There is also something home-like about the layout of the museum. I wish I could live there!

• Ivy [Wilkes] does exhibit a certain impatience at the beginning of the book [The Dissemblers]. She doesn't want to wait through years of hard work and insignificance to make her mark on the art world. Part of her growth is in realizing - even embracing - that the process of art is more important than the product or the recognition.

• I'm working on a novel about a girl who grows up in the circus and her relationship with her father, who grew up in Hungary when it was under Soviet control and left during the 1956 revolution. It is told from both of their perspectives, and has been a joy (and very frustrating) to research and write. Needless to say, I am very excited about my next project!

• Al principio del libro [The Dissemblers], Ivy [Wilkes] tiene un largo camino que recorrer para lograr la autosuficiencia. Aunque es muy independiente, incluso algo solitaria, se ve muy afectada por las opiniones de los demás. Al principio del libro, sus ideas sobre el éxito y los logros se definen en gran medida por la aprobación de los demás; a lo largo de la historia, creo que eso empieza a cambiar un poco.

• Como Ivy [Wilkes] está empezando como artista, quise centrarme en las experiencias de [Georgia] O'Keeffe cuando estaba empezando. Sospecho que hay una diferencia entre ser un artista desconocido y ser un artista célebre. Cuando nadie conoce tu obra, a nadie, excepto a ti, le importa realmente si pintas o no.
