The LA based "Art Squat Magazine" conducted an interview by Johnny Otto Writer/Director/Producer
with artist V. Borchert. "Art Squat Magazine" is dedicated to artists making waves in the artworld
from around the globe. The in-depth interview conducted by J. Otto asks the artist numerous
questions from her beginnings to her inspiration and future plans.
Putting in the years and creating a huge and strong body of work was the norm to be considered
an artist. I was educated under the old school beliefs that "Pain" is essential in creating a
"Painting". And, to be honest, this is one of the main reasons why I ended up an artist and I
went to art school, to help me navigate my pain into paintings. Art was and still is till today
a visual language for me to bring forth what is within me onto the canvas, be it joyful
thoughts or melancholic ones. My life's experience is transparent and transmitted onto canvas
so to speak, and painting is a vehicle for me for that transportation.
