Figure Out Who You Are, Then Do You On Purpose


“The privilege of a lifetime” Joseph Campbell once said, “is being who you are”. Yet as Ralph Waldo Emerson observed more than a century ago, “to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment”.  Says mentor-to-artists Kellie Day, “Good’ art doesn't’ have anything to do with being ‘good’, it has to do with being YOU.” Good art then - the kind that births something new into the world - is not so much about the mastery of great technique, but rather the authentic expression of the artist’s uniqueness. Slowly, I feel like I am finding my way.
