Good one Crista! I think Elizabeth Gilbert mentioned this in her book, Big Magic. Thanks for the reminder. Hope 2025 is a fantastic year for you. We are still dreaming of your neighborhood....will keep you posted. Happy new year. xox

Thank You Crista for those inspiring words!❤

Having multiple sources of income from my art.

That’s a very touching story - inspirational ❤

My 4th grade teacher started my art career. I'm eternally grateful. Mrs. Barnett.

777 views. ❤ So I am claiming this messege ❤😊

God bless the art teachers because they allow us to be different and to be understood.

probably the best art advice video Ive seen. thank you

Thank you for sharing your pearls of wisdom. I just wrote down the 5 things I can do to support my creativity and realize that I have been investing much more than that in myself and my creative life. 2025 looks good!

I had never understood Agency until i heard your video. I have come to think of it like a Rumba vacuum cleaner... it just keeps moving, bouncing off obstacles, turning and moving in new directions until the job is done or it needs a recharge. Creative persistence.... Can Do attitude.... We need more of this in life also.

Thank you for uploading this video, I am a musician and most of my family doesn't see it as a possible outcome for me to be successful in society.

Build a career as an artist? $$$$ is NOT art!

Where are the Medicis?

As an artist, I stay away from the art world. Galleries are not interested in art or artists. A business is capitalist and ONLY EXISTS FOR PROFIT. You don't mention Vincent!

beautiful 🩵

Love this advice!

You predent so well an it makes sense too. Tx

I'm wondering if its a good idea to get an art agent or not. I'd like my work exhibited in n. Y., & appraised but all doors are closed in better galleries. " you have to know someone" no one will even look at your work, unless they are offering something to sell you. But I've also heard about thier percentage of sales, + the galleries..then there are taxes & material, travel, ect..or is a website, internet a better option? I've no idea, & other artists are difficult to talk too.

Choosing one makes sense since people always need to reduce what they do not understand into simpler units so that they can label it and then they believe they know it. So focusing on one is more for the market than for the artist if I understand correctly

The joy I get while painting, drawing, and graphic design is unexplainable. ❤

I now I am an artist , But I hesitate to Call myself this to anyone. Usually its Other People’s who use the name about me ,if they ar interested in art at all 😊😉

I like doing ot

Always

Someone who enjoys their whole journey. From seeing to making to selling to exploring

You speak in prose. Nice to listen to. I do

❤

Succint and powerful video. Thank you.

No I disagree.

ME I AM a great artist.

Thank you for this. I use the word integrity in place of agency. We, as artists, work hard to focus, work diligently at our craft, and have this most unique perspective on any subject. We must stand with this principle of integrity, which is not an action; it is a gift to our spirit when we know our own worth and keep our healthy emotional boundries.❤

At different ages I focused on one thing-out of the 3 eventual things i have done.. Later, I learned another genre and learned that. it is what I'm best at I believe. Now I am trying a new discipline, I'm not very good at it yet. So, I do it for relaxation and fun, and for the learning experience. but i still would like to focus on the middle thing, while learning the newest thing as a hobby.

Thank you, Crista! I have built my skills in Art for many years and years of practice and experience with alot of different Art materials. I am such a perfectionist, and I know, hard on myself... even though easy-going with others. While I am writing this I find it difficult to say "I am really good"! I have won awards and recognition when younger but it wasn't until retirement from teaching Art that I have been really honing my own skills. I have passion and a keen eye, but am now 70 years old. I guess I believe that is too old to market my work. I have said, "my family can market it and make money after I pass". I am lucky to just work in my small studio and enjoy my home of framed gallery worthy portraits and other statement expressional pieces that I like to look at myself! At times, another part of me says, "Why not me" ...if others that do not do as beautiful paintings as I have, can be confident and get thier Art work out in public domain...why not me? I have had one woman shows and earned my BFA and teaching certification with full ride merit scholarships. Benefactors even paid my way for a semester in Florence, Italy. I showed my work in a gallery near the Duomo. I wish I would have been more assertive when I was younger. Instead of any self promotion, I raised two children and taught others Art, but didn't have the confidence, I suppose, to take my portfolio to galleries. Now its more "online" to sell Art. I hope younger women (and men) will see your video and pursue a direction with passion and drive and with confidence to just get thier hard won expertise out there! Thank you again for your RUclips video that will help younger Artists! 🎉❤🎉

Life is my Art. The world I live in and create from. ❤

I’m so thankful for your kindness and support for artists. I’m taking your advice to heart. Courage Authority Agency. I certainly would love to read the book you made. I graduated finally from the University of after retiring as a mother and Registered Nurse. Finally I am doing what I love. I got my UG Degree in Art and Design. What I create is love of Nature and the world of the woods. Thank you. ❤ And PS. I love Judy”s Works. And you.

What a wonderful video. Thank you

Exactly, Crista. The more you reject the call, the more intense it becomes. And sometimes, rejecting it can make you even depressed. It's difficult to say No to such a feeling.

Since I was three.

As always...Well said!

Bravo Congratulations 👏👏👏 You are very clear and it's very useful. 𝓓𝓸𝓷.𝓐𝓷𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓼+𝓢𝓬𝓾𝓵𝓹𝓽𝓸𝓻
