Unnatural Transformation

I got questions all the time about how I live with an artist. I must say, it's pretty easy when the needs are very basic like mine and the artist is extremely talented like Lui Liu. He creates and we find ways to sell to collectors. I don't see the fundamental difference to a farmer's wife selling vegetables from their fields.

Even before the galleries came in and I had to sell them myself, I didn't need to try hard to sell. I had that right attitude to let the work speak for itself. The people with the right kind of mind, I observed, would be naturally drawn to his work. Out of good taste and if they happen to have the right size of a pocket, they become collectors of his works.

Right now, we have less need to sell due to all kinds of reasons, we shouldn't sell or we have to sell them very differently than before. At the same time, getting hands on his works is not longer simply out of good taste, at least not alone. I see it's getting more complicated. I feel the pressure I didn't have before. By nature, I want to do everything possible to please people. I still don't try to sell, only I have to try much harder not to. By that, I think I've transformed myself and will soon become known as the bitchy wife OF the known artist. Note, not the bitchy wife TO the artist. So let me be.
