Myths and Realities of artists. What does society think and say about artists? You won’t be famous until you….Poor starving……flaky, dreamer, angst ridden ……What myths do you have to dispel in order to embrace a healthy reality as a successful artist? Myths about artists and how they live and work abound. These myths create misunderstanding in the minds of collectors and become obstacles for artists who have absorbed them. When artists shed these misconceptions and plant themselves squarely inside the realities, more energy is available for a creative lifestyle and sustainable art business.
