Antrese Wood interviews painter Celia Reisman.

Reisman notes the importance of drawing to her work and comments about how, when sketching and drawing, you "allow yourself to respond to what your looking at in terms of seeing. I find myself in front of the subject and I edit as I go ... it's like a selection process - what's the most important part that I want to remember or capture or use later on."
