artist family expectations: success is putting in your dues…or is there more to it?

CANDYcolored studio podcast episode 242:a few years ago, an artist who i love and admire shared with me that her family felt she shouldn't be "already" experiencing success in her art career because she hadn't "put in her dues" yet. this was mind-blowing to me. if there was ever a place to find your biggest supporters, it should be your parents and family -- especially when your parent is an artist!! i'll be sharing some thoughts on this experience and a couple others of mine and that have been shared with me. sometimes it really is too easy to look at our own perceived "lacking" situation and simply decide that it's either not our fault or someone else's fault. but who really has the power and the responsibility to change our situation? what can we do to fix things in our own realm? LINKSriverside podcast recording platformla petite maison antiques - follow amanda's stories on instagram to follow along their latest trip in francejennifer chipman's bond design company on instagram and youtubebear brief - hurricane helene strange things and on-the-ground update (watch below)four lemons - (nanette's utah art market permanent storefront/art gallery) on instagram - 4850 S Highland Dr, Holladay, UT | 10am-6pm | Tuesday - Saturdayutahartmarket.com - 135 fine art show nov 9th, holiday market dec 4-7springville museum of art’s 38th annual spiritual & religious show oct 16th - jan 9th100 dollar show at smofa - thurs dec 5th from 6:30 to 8 pmnancy andruk olson - brighter day handmade watercolor paints | watercolormonthly subscription | see 2025 colors belowj kirk richards prints | jkrgallery | instagramjenna kutcher's episode 804 - do these 6 things now to end your year strong! ep 804jason horejs - gallery owner of xanadu in scottsdale, son of artist, wrote books starving to successful and how to sell artloralee nicolay | instagramCANDYcolored studio podcast episode 31 - a support system for artists & why you need it most (listen below)CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.bergLEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review! pando fine art | 444 main street | part of golden spiral fine art see all of my paintings currently available at the gallery CONNECT WITH ME: katrinaberg.com email: [email protected] join my SWEETlist (my email list) instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next? let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!
