INSIDE ISSUE 53 // What’s the most misunderstood part of being a professional artist? "How many hats we wear. It’s lovely to imagine an art career as tapping into a flow state every day in a beautiful studio, The End. And true, getting to do what we love as a job is the best part. But to make it a living means running a business. We’re our own social media managers, agents, marketing strategists, publicists. We design our websites and manage sales. So much of what we do, we do ourselves, and that’s without counting making the actual art. The toughest part of the job can be reminding ourselves that not only do we deserve breaks, we need them; when your brain and body are the factory, self care is mandatory work."
