Artist of Instagram
Share
I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram.
I love the fact that it gives me a platform to showcase my art to an audience that may not necessarily be exposed to my paintings - for me, this is key to being successful as an artist and so I am very grateful for that.
However, showing the personal side of my business - i.e ME, is something that comes a little less easily. I'm a confident, outgoing person, yet I've always steered clear of posting any of my personal life on social media platforms, so getting over that was one of the buggest hurdles I had to overcome for Instagram and Facebook.
I recently listened Kate Winslet being interviewed. A few words she said seemed to really resonate with me;
"Life's too short. You;ve got one go around, make the most of it".
I think that is such a powerful statement I've taken it to heart. Yes social media platforms can be intimidating and take you outside of your comfort zone, but for me, they've also provided amazing support and brought me new clients and a job that doesn'y feel like work.
