An excellent question for any artist.

Who to study with?

Hmm..., it would seem in my often not too humble opinion, what your point of view in terms of art is and what it is you want to achieve.

Do you want to make art or use your concept of it as the quickest route to an imagined commercial success.

Do we want instant applause for the easy and from the easily charmed or do we want to go deeper and perhaps take risks and risk having your work disregarded.

Do what we want to add to the enormous pile of human effort, something of value or another trifle.

There are those teachers who demand a lot and those who are comforting and ready back patters.

Who indeed to pick.
