Creative Artist - AU (2020-02)

yours and be willing to move, grow and adapt to
changing circumstances.
It is important to get paintings out and about – the
more people who see your name the better. But with
more competition there are also more opportunities.
Social media and the Internet offer greater opportunity
for sales than ever before. Learning techniques from
other artists is now huge and beneficial – something
that was not so available when I first started out on
my painting adventure! Above all, if you want to earn
a living from your art, hold fast to a solid belief in
yourself – letting nothing eat away at that belief. The
outer world is a reflection of your inner world. When
you value you – the world values you.
For the past 11 years I have also found fulfilment
in conducting workshops around Australia – a
direction I am enjoying and finding most uplifting.
Painting for my galleries and my own satisfaction
will always be my first love, but I feel happy in

imparting knowledge to others who are also

enjoying the journey of art – something that has

enriched my life beyond anything I thought possible.

I now have the privilege of having been a

professional artist for more than 40 years and still

love every minute of my work. I have had to embrace

many changes – technology, social media, and smart

phones, plus changing needs and closing galleries. We

all have to move forward. But one thing I will not do is

compromise my own beliefs. Staying true to yourself

is intrinsically a large part of success.
