Bob Baker Interviews Portrait Artist Robbi Firestone for "The Creative Entrepreneur"
Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) December 10, 2013 -- Bob Baker interviewed oil Portrait Artist Robbi Firestone for episode fifteen of Baker’s Internet TV show, "The Creative Entrepreneur." During the forty-minute webcast, Baker asked Firestone everything from her extraordinary dedication, life as a learning-geek, what she would say to her younger self, and the brilliance behind her recent gallery show, The Spirit of Santa Fe. Firestone responded with candid charisma, educating viewers in what it means to be a creative art entrepreneur.
Firestone has been a practicing oil portrait artist for over a decade, a career she built independently by doing events and hosting charities in her studio. Her success is testament to her creative spirit that finds untraditional avenues for representation.
The Spirit of Santa Fe was admittedly Firestone’s first gallery show (this past August at Casweck Galleries in Santa Fe, NM). "It’s all about taking full responsibility for yourself because after all, no one else is going to feed you but you," says Firestone.
When Baker asked about her greatest challenge, the portrait artist divulged: the struggles of self-doubt. Firestone, who is incredibly relatable, does something that petrifies her every year on her birthday to overcome her fears. Firestone’s audacious plans for the future include an installation at the National Museum of Women in the Arts and a portrait series of the African Maasi tribe.
Robbi Firestone is an oil portrait artist known for her prized "Spirit Capture" portrait commissions, called Spirit Capture Portraits, which deftly reflect her subjects' inner selves, hopes, and dreams, as well as the faces they show to the world.
