What I like about Tom Wudl: He is always there. He believes that I am creative. He believes we are all creative. He wants to make me the best artist I can be.He does. He tells me not to compare myself to others. I try. When I cry when I am talking to him about my art he tells me that tears express something nothing else can describe. He tells me when my work is good. He tells me when my work is contrived. He believes that if I am engaged in trying work out what I am trying to do, then whoever is looking at my art will be similarly curious. I appreciate him greatly.
