Congratulations! and thank you for the brilliant post.
If I had to select only one here it is:
“Treat your art like it belongs in a museum”
respect ourselves and our own work, also being CRITICAL to ourselves doing every painting better than last month’s, this is the only way to keep us growing

Alyson, I agree with all these points! Especially the one about how to clearly define how you’re going to make money as an artist. Now that I am a full time artist it is definitely the most important question I have to ask myself every morning! Not getting caught up with applying to every single local art show is a challenge for me sometimes… and thinking about the $ factor always helps with my decision.

In reply to Jennifer Ressmann.

Thank you, Jennifer! No big celebration – just happy to still be around. Maybe I’ll consider my trip to Oregon this summer as my reward.

Congratulations Alyson! How exciting! Hope you did something special to celebrate your 10 year anniversary! You are such a big asset and inspiration to artists everywhere! We thank you.
And, thanks, also, for sharing your stories. Sometimes we small business owners work in a vacuum and it’s always so helpful to hear what other owners do to get the job done!
Here’s to another wonderful 10 years ahead!

Harriete: You said it politely. I always say “Work your ass off.”
