why am i an artist
what does my work convey
how does it reach people
what gives me a reason to work without knowing where it will lead me
what does money mean to me especially with kids
is there a tribe for me
how do i deal with
exhaustion while knowing i have to create
how do i deal with haters and discouragers
can i be an
invisible artist
finding solace in art was the hard earned result of a 40 year elimination process.
while i was working on building a life around art (i.e. writing about it, communicating with people) i refused to accept that i had every damn right and
raison d'être to be an artist myself. And to this day i struggle to give myself that title. Artist.
maybe start a
daily mantra: i am an artist. i am an artist. my work is equally worthy. equally worthy. artistic worth. i am an artist.
