It's Not Easy

I often read about the troubles that artists have with galleries.
The more I read or hear about how some art galleries treat their artists, the more I am glad to be able to handle
my own art business.
Marketing experts abound in the art world, this makes me wonder how many of these people make art on a
regular basis.
There are no easy paths to a successful art career, one has to be able to stand the slings and arrows that come with the art life.
I know this is not news to many people. I just have to say it. If one can endure the rewards can be very satisfying.
The only thing I would change in my own art life is, I would've learned more about the business side of being an artist a lot sooner.
There are no magic answers to being a successful artist, it's not easy.
