Embrace the challenge.

As an Artist if you are going to pioneer a new movement in Art or step out of the crowd and do new, original, organic work, then you will be putting yourself into a vulnerable place.

When we do this and we put ourselves into that vulnerable place, we are going to need to embrace the experience.

Not all will rejoice at you leaving the pack as you are now being different and bringing change and we know most people fear change.

Yes you may be criticised but you will also be praised and gain followers.

People are looking for leaders, so to be seen, you will need to step out of the pack and walk alone, be a trail blazer and then others will follow.

Don’t point the way, lead and show the way.

Risk being vulnerable when we present our new paintings to the public and our fellow Artists and embrace the challenge of standing out from the pack and leading.

As Artists be leaders, change Art as we know it, dare to be different and confront the establishment, before the Impressionists became main stream, they were the rebels who wanted change and dared to be different.

They challenged the establishment and they changed Art forever.

You can change Art, you just need to believe in yourself.

No one can stop you but you.

No one can hold you back but you.

Pick yourself and lead the change that will come and is coming.

Be different because you are.
