How Are You Unique As An Artist?

You’ll Find Out When You Answer These Questions!

Many artists inform me that they love the challenging exercises I offer them on this website. The list of questions you’ll find below is one of the examples. An important truth you can learn about yourself as a creative individual is how are you unique as an artist. This knowledge will help you develop your innate creative talents and vision. This should be a high-level priority on your list.

Trusting your own vision takes time, patience, and courage. Then, pursuing that unique perspective requires fortitude and confidence.

Artists like Matisse, co-founder of Fauvism certainly qualifies as an artist who found his own distinctive creative direction. Other artists, such as Kandinsky, known as “the father of abstraction”, challenged themselves to embark on their own paths.

To help you achieve that goal I suggest you take time answering the questions below. I hope you enjoy exploring yourself through the answers that spring to mind and the process uncovers many new powerful discoveries about yourself.

When you experience this form of self-examination you may gain more insight that will help you advance further on your journey as an artist.

The answers to these questions should also help you when you have to write your Artist’s Statement or apply for a career opportunity such as a grant, residency, or gallery representation.

Would You Like Me to Write About Your Art?

One of my most rewarding services for artists is writing Art Reviews. Most artists who receive my written Art Review tell me the unique attributes I write about validate and clarify their intentions. Or they are pleasantly surprised to learn aspects about their art they were previously unaware of. They may say that an Art Review serves as a powerful tool to help write their Artist’s Statement. The Art Review is extremely beneficial for an artist’s art career including receiving a professional endorsement for increasing sales and other opportunities.
