Phyllis Fife:
I was in a studio that was shared with Dave Montana and Earl Eder, and I thought they were really advanced. Their artwork was way more mature than anything that I attempted to do
I remember when I started, I was so, probably—I really wanted privacy to apply paint to the canvas. And because I had no experience, I didn’t have experience using good art materials. I experimented a lot, and this is what I remember.
And as I, you know, of course, you had exposure to what other students were doing. And that was a big influence on me, too. I mean, I think, whether it’s conscious or not, I think that happens.
