“I don’t get the Sunday blues anymore,” says Jeff Pugh, winner of Southwest Art Magazine’s “Emerging Young Artist” award. “Now I look forward to Mondays, to getting to work again.” Jeff is standing in the middle of the modest 10 x 20 foot basement room that serves as his studio, office, and storage space, explaining how he decided 10 years ago to quit his full-time job as an IT … [Read more...]
