Takeaways

1. Everything around you is touched by an artist. Artists are the ones who tell our story.

2. Self expressions is the key to storytelling. It’s about hearing everyone's individual stories and finding out what we have in common through those unique stories.

3. My community is a constellation, not a congregation.

4. Strive for fewer better things.

5. Talent is a real slippery term and it’s just not enough because art making takes a ton of perseverance and loads of patience.

6. It’s really about resilience, creative problem solving, being able to argue a point, to look at something from a different point of view, to take negative criticism, and to give challenging criticism.
