Tapping Your Inner Strength – Perseverance
with artist and author Alexandria Levin.
“Perseverance means that your essential identity is that of being an artist. Nothing changes that; no life circumstances, no economic lows, no outside criticism, nothing ... If you are truly an artist you never give up. You don’t listen to those outside voices that say to quit - ever. You only listen to your muse - your inner voice. You create and grow no matter what."

Artist Money Matters!
"When it comes to $, we are not working with a blank canvas. We have lots of history and emotion when it comes to the topic of $...Some of those old beliefs may be limiting what's possible for us now. It might be time to take a look at those beliefs and see it’s time to challenge or let go of the ones that are no longer serving us. Think of a closet, before you can stock it with lots of beautiful new things, we have to do a little housecleaning and throw out the old junk and clutter." ~ Successful fine artist and workshop leader Pat Fiorello.
