If there is one thing I am guilty of is always wanting to do everything at once and see instant gratification (aren't we all? Or maybe not). And when it comes to building my art business, it's no different, but I am learning to be patient and do one thing at a time!
I will not deny that it can be frustrating when financial situation dictates the choices I have to make, but looking at the silver lining, I do think it keeps me focused on seeing every step through.
At the end of last year, I needed to reinvest in my online presence and my new website was born. This year, I was faced with a dilemma of putting my eggs in the basket of a large art trade show, or distribute between the studio upgrade and finding some smaller exhibits. Compromises had to be made. I was torn between my strong desire of finally jumping in and exhibiting at Art Source in Dublin or staying a little more conservative and playing it slightly more safe.
In a way, a number of circumstances made the decision for me. I was delighted to be invited to show at two more local Art exhibitions and I received numerous request for Art workshops and weekly classes. So I decided to go with the flow, concentrating in building a nice collection for the shows and investing in a bigger studio space to accommodate not only my paintings but also a classroom.
I feel quite excited about these new projects!! Art Source has just been put on ice though and is already pencilled in for 2020!
