Top advice on life, art and business....

"Trust yourself and your artistic choices. Value your vision and unique articulation of beauty. Work hard. Be kind always, but set boundaries and terms of business up front. Arrogance and superiority is not exciting nor interesting – inspired and engaging is visionary. Practice silence and gratitude."
