Affirmations for Artists 

I recently moved to the upper west side in NYC, and it’s got me feeling like I’m living inside a Seinfeld episode complete with our own Kramer in the building.  

A favorite episode is one where Jerry’s friend George is afraid his show might be successful which can only mean something terrible is going to happen. Fear of failure is more common than you might think.  

Focus on your steps to success instead of worrying about what might (or might not) happen.

How to Get People to Connect with You and Your Art  

No matter the type of art you create, words will be necessary. Lean into who you are, what you believe and the why about what you do.  

If it’s easier to talk about this instead of writing, have a conversation with a friend explaining these concepts about your art in general or a latest piece. Have it transcribed and use those words and phrases on your website and in social media.

Meet Artist Beverly Barkat   

I recently took a trip to Israel to visit my son. While I was there, we went to see an amazing sculpture called Earth Poetica by artist Beverly Barkat. She turned trash into art and seeing it in person was well worth it.  

Her work reminds us of the world’s plastic trash problem and our connection to nature.
