Art Thoughts


Sometimes it's difficult say the exact words about you are thinking or about something you are feeling deeply... and then you find someone on internet, in this case a painter named Alyssa Monks, who uses the perfect words to describe "the thing".

ADVICE TO ARTISTS:

"Focus on the materials and expand your vocabulary on how to use them."

"Experiment. Don’t try to come up with a style or voice or brand or idea. Lose yourself instead in curiosity for what attracts you. Play. Find flow."

"Explore. Be yourself. Trust yourself."

"Don’t put pressure on your art to support your life, put pressure instead on your life to support your art."
