She never gets up before noon.

It’s a little past 9:00 pm and I’m hanging out with American fine artist Carrie Graber on the deck of her beautiful South Pasadena home — a ranch built in 1939. The night is cool, the Pinot Grigio is crisp, and the clove cigarettes are crackling. The conversation meanders like the smoke, touching on Carrie’s early years, art theory, and her obsession with David Bowie. We’ve been chatting for only a few hours, but for the short time she’s let me into her world, I’ve come to understand that Carrie Graber is the thinking person’s artist.

    Hey Rene,

    Compliments to the author. I read the full interview on Buzzine - good stuff. It was the most ironic thing too that a part of your conversation was her influence of Vermeer and how he painted women doing the mundane things of life, a friend and I were joking that it was probably because it was the easiest way for both Vermeer and Rubens to get laid. For example, Peter Paul Rubens, his art is the reason for the term “rubenesque”, he was probably getting laid left and right. =) Just saying……

    @Lyn:

    Thanks for popping by!

    You’re in Pasadena, right? Next time I’m hanging with Carrie, I’ll see if we all can’t get a drink and Mexican food.
