Blog / 2011 / Keeping the Faith as an Artist

December 1, 2011

I get asked a lot how I decided to become an artist and how I persist even when things are rough, and I certainly understand the concern. Artist has never seemed like a particularly stable career choice, but it’s only worse now.

Here is how I keep applying for opportunities even though I get rejected. I vlogged about the list here. How do you keep the faith?

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!

Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? Or perhaps you have a question about my art? I’d love to hear from you!
