1. As much as we are privileged to be artists in this world, the world is also privileged that we choose to pursue and create art.
2.The energy required to do tasks with little to few dependencies is very different from the energy required to create! Accepting that can create ease around ideas of productivity.
3.Find yourself thinking, somebody should create or do X? Then perhaps you should be the person to do it!
4.Collaboration with another person in your art practice or process can mean a better product. as they have less emotional attachment to what you create/look or sound like.
5. Authenticity in social media helps our viewers and others create realistic ideas about our lives and process.
6. People sell to people; often you can tell when marketing is based on algorithm chasing. it feels like a grift. The authenticity is missing.
7.Small tight-knit audiences often feel genuine, and more supportive. You don’t have to chase a big number to have a successful business or form meaningful connections.
8.Always ask, who is selling me this idea? Because once you get past the false ideas around what they’re trying to sell to you, you will be able to focus your energy of getting the actual opportunities you need.
9.The idea of inclusivity can be alienating to some people. Sometimes this is uncomfortable. It is all about what you value in the moment – being inclusive or alienating those that find inclusivity threatening. You cannot please everyone.
10.Political activism can go two ways, one feels divisive and the other feels like an invite to dialog and reflection.
11.Work is perhaps never finished, but at some point you have to let it go. If you don’t let it go, it can never live out there.
12.There is nothing special about other peoples work vs. yours, at close up, it’s all the same brushstrokes or stitches – what makes the difference is that they put it out there! Take the leap!
