How did you get into debt?
I took a big mortgage when things were going well. Then the company I worked for went under, I started a new company, I got a divorce, the real estate market tanked...

How does your economic reality effect your art?
I don't devote as much time to my art as I would like, and when I do I don't feel free. My constant worry about debt is the one single thing keeping me from fully exploring my art.

Would your work look different if you weren't in debt?:
Yes!
