Help from others! #marchmeetthemaker2020 Day 15, Help: Artists need a community to help them in their businesses. I know I have grown so much and have gone much further with my career with the help of my small artist community. Steve Puttrich @steveputtrich has inspired me with his great oil and watercolor painting, as well as helped me with my oil landscape painting, especially with focal points and composition. Anna Lentz @annalentz_art (aka @springbird_hope ), has brought a whole lot of women artists together with her artist retreats on Spring Bird in Dundee, IL, and helped strengthen each of us on our artistic journey! Ken Reif @kenreif has such inspiration in his artwork alone, but he has given me great advise in becoming a professional artist. Last, but not least, Faith Humphrey-Hill @dartily_faith . She has been there for me for many years along the way! We have helped each other out with each of our own art businesses. We have been each others support, strength, encouragement, motivation, and to help each other learn anything new we have discovered along the way about having an art business. Thank you artist community for your help in my life and art business! I am grateful!
