Gladiola by Jules Gissler

GG:  The most inspiring art-repreneur advise you’ve received from someone recently?

Jules: ​​  Using the word “ just” — “just” begin with drawing a line. “Just” choose the colors for the Painting. — By using that word, it gets me started instead of procrastinating with other distractions.

Pearl by Jules Gissler

​GG:  Tricks you use to carve out productive time in your studio/shop? 

Jules:  Always doing a few of the same things to get me started - go running, have coffee & eat breakfast, check emails, put on music, and start.

GG:  The least satisfying part of your fabrication process, and why? 

Jules:   If it’s in a frame —putting the wire and hangers on the painting. Just not a fun part of the process for me. 

---

GG:  A little fun-fact that many people may not know about you or your work or your creative process?

Jules:  ​I give  everything I paint or draw a name — even each flower,  if I’m painting flowers. I love coming up with names.
