Larry Cwik – PHOTOGRAPHER

Interview with photographer Larry Cwik

1. Who are you and what do you do?
I am a visual artist working primarily in photography and drawing, with some occasional work in short films, painting, mixed media, and multi-media installations.

2. Why art?
Art is my life. It is essential to my being. Creativity runs strong in me. I need to express it. I love life, art, the world we live in, and the world we can imagine.

3. What is your earliest memory of wanting to be an artist?
I was offered art classes at the Carnegie Museum of Art
in Pittsburgh, where I grew up, when I was about 12 or 13 years old.
Unfortunately

I did not take them. But I did take some classes later.
And I have learned a lot through travel, reading art literature, seeing
decades of art shows at galleries and museums, and being part of
galleries and an artist workshop.

and the courage to take.” Emma Goldman
