There is No Need to Please Everyone.

When we start out as artists there is always a myriad of questions (totally fear based by the way!) What if they don’t like my work? What if people actually hate it? I don’t want to put it out there because no one will want to buy it. Why would anyone want my work? Who will want to buy my work?

And the list goes on.

What I’ve learnt over the years is that not everyone will like your art. It’s as simple as that. So what you need to do is put it front of people who do and will buy your art. And not worry about those who don’t connect with it – find those that do!

And how do you do this? You share your work often. You allow people to connect with the work. And you keep sharing – your process, your creative finished works and your plans for the future. What is that saying – do what you fear and the death of fear is certain.

Those who love what you do will say so and they will continue to follow you. And they will eventually buy from you.

There will be some, not so often though who will actually, buy straight off the bat, they will love what you do because they connect with it straight away.

But, if you are not putting your work out there, how is anyone going to know whether they like it not?

In order for your work to be seen and liked (and inevitably judged), you have to be putting it out there.

And today, more than ever, it is so much easier to share our art online and through social media.

So what are you waiting for. Go and share some of your art. Do it now. Because there is no time like the present.
