Validation.

As artist we tent to not be seen, or at least feel like we aren’t seen. when in fact its quite the opposite. I believe artist are blessed with a gift that is also a curse. That being INSPIRATION. We are inspired by the world as well as other artist while also inspiring others. As we create theres a sense of not feeling validated through our work. When in reality the inspiration we are giving other is VALIDATION.

We get lost in thinking that payment = validation.

Remember most artist don’t buy art, they create it. So instead of looking for payment, look to inspire. The more you inspire the more YOU are out in the world; through the inspiration you have given. That’s the real payment, validation.
