I was in an old funeral home this week for a project. I walked past an old desk and saw this poem under the glass. Don’t Quit.
I left my job as a funeral director to pursue my dream of being an artist. Although I love what I do and wouldn’t want to do anything else I’d be lying if I didn’t tell myself many many times in my career as an artist that “I Quit”, “I’m Done”, “This Will Never Work”. I’ve had people tell me to do my art as a hobby and go get a job, that really helped my confidence.
But since I’ve started I’ve shown art all over the world and have done projects with amazing people and brands. My gallery shows keep getting bigger, the opportunities keep coming and my brand keeps growing.
I’m going to keep going and keep proving to others and myself that quitting is not an option
