I am a Professional Artist!
Today I went along to the artists forum in Bethanal Green. In the space of 2 hours I took in a lot of information, was told to sell myself as a professional artist and decided to start up this blog, of which I can only hope that this is the first of many posts.
I’m unsure of how blogging artistically will work for me, I imagine it will be a bit like my journal. I think I’ll approach it as an outlet for my thoughts, ideas and experiances. Does that make it my diary?
A year on from graduation, I find myself working full time in the catering industry, unable to decrease my hours as i attempt to make enough money for all the bills. I struggle to keep face as I attempt to make artwork alongside a 45 hour week whilst organising an exhibition in the summer.
But its ok because I’m happy in the knowledge that i’m working towards the sort of lifestyle that i’ve wanted since i can remember. Things are happening slowly, but they’re happening. I know that one day, maybe sooner than i think, i will be able to dedicate myself to my passion.
So join me and help me as i embark on this journey to assert myself as a professional artist.
