Life is full of difficult decisions, some that may even impact your artistic practice. Every career can be shaken by external challenges, and perhaps few more so than those that rely on not only your internal world for creation, but also demand self discipline in the advancement of your prospects. Art is a self-driven career, and life’s challenges can be particularly hard on that. Having a plan – being a few steps ahead of where you are – can go a long way toward keeping you on track even during the challenges.
