WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
“My high school art teacher Ms. Sunshine (yes, that was her real name…I think) basically told me that I knew what I was doing, even when I was doubting myself or what I was creating. She instilled in me that ultimately I knew what I was doing and to trust myself and my gut.”
