BEFORE AND AFTER

Painter, arts writer, and educator Becky Hendrick reveals the impact of the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 on her art and her overall creative processes. She demonstrates various intentions of her lengthy art career and compares painting in order to pay attention to painting (as well as creating in other genres) to say, as if in prayer, "please, please, please..." She details the discovery of the image and the changes made to it --- and the changes the work made to her --- of the small medieval manuscript page titled "Apocalypse." Finally, she shares how she announced her "official retirement from the practice of Art" in a 2007 art piece, and the resulting amateur efforts in photography and poetry/lyrics as a serious yet amateur creative person.
