SEE Yourself as Professional . . .
You cannot live in a vacuum as a professional artist; part of making a living as a creative
individual is the importance of marketing yourself and your work. You must walk the
walk, and talk the talk. If you are going to portray a certain image, do it seriously and
with taste. Do not think gallery openings are simply hobnobbing. They are infinitely
more. You owe it to yourself to put forth your best self, your best image -as earlier
stated.
What you say, what you do with your networking is pivotal. Do not believe luck will
come out of the blue and shower you with instant success. Everything, all your dreams
to achieve, will take blood, sweat and tears.
