As an artist, you get to honor the creativity inside of you, the muses.
As a professional artist, you get to do that AND have a career.
How awesome is THAT!?!?
And, you are also surrounded by other wonderful artists of many mediums, people you can share with and learn from and be inspired by.
Here are a couple of my favorite photographers; they create work I am always excited to see:
Gregory Colbert – Ashes and Snow
(Beautiful, Evocative Images of Africa, People and Animals in Spiritual Harmony)
(She describes her style as “happy, spontaneous, energetic, and whimsical”. And I love it because my style is similar: Vibrant, Joyful, Natural and Fun. She is a commercial photographer in California, (meaning she shoots for advertising and editorial) and if you get Parents Magazine, you will often see her work. Oh, and her website has this super cool home page where all her images fly in one at a time, like snapshots being tossed onto a table.)
And, since I can’t imagine doing a post without an image, here is one of mine that I think does a good job of portraying Vibrant, Joyful, Natural and Fun:
