Panic Is Not An Option

When times get tough, the best way forward is to keep your composure, make a plan and stick with it as much as possible. There will always be moments in an art career – and in life – when things don’t go as planned, when what you thought would come to pass takes a turn and ends up in a place you never imagined. That’s OK. And often these can be growth moments. But the key is to remain calm no matter what. Regroup and move forward.
