From embracing the practice of living as an artist to breaking the conventional rules, we discuss the importance of maintaining an entrepreneurial mindset and spotting opportunities beyond the studio. Additionally, we explore the power of a beginner's mindset in marketing and business, the multifaceted nature of success in the art world, and the need for artists to redefine their own niches and avoid being confined by traditional branding norms.
