With my art career I am most proud of believing in myself, that I had the drive and fortitude to express my feelings to complete strangers without fear or insecurities to do so. My art is an extension of my soul, it is a language I hope touches all. Art has no color, no language, no religion. To me the beauty of art is the absence of words and the fleeting moments of time. It unites us on the most profound level of spirituality and humanity. Equally rewarding is having that special connection with the collector that believed in my art. It is very humbling to have my pieces hung in homes throughout the world, hopefully enjoyed for years and passed down to others to admire. What is the best advice you can give to an emerging artist? My advice to any emerging artist is to PAINT, PAINT, PAINT! Never give up. Each new piece will get you closer to your goals as an artist and human being. Build a strong presence on social media to build a strong audience and post daily. Announce upcoming exhibitions, have good context, excellent visuals, and excellent communication with your followers. Use appropriate hash tags relevant to your style and subject matters and interact with other colleagues as well. The internet has excellent venues and marketing tools for artists. Having a strong presence on it is vital in the world we live in today. More people are turning to it to purchase art. It is as important to participate in art events like art festivals, group exhibitions, fundraisers etc.: people love to interact with artists and get to know them, so be available to them on this level as well. Making a database of potential clients from each event you participate in, by having a guest book and getting their emails is another excellent way to build up the clientele. Always remember your art will only go as far as you push yourself, no matter how good of an artist you are. “Out of sight, out of mind,” might sound like an old cliche, but it holds a lot of water.
