The turning point for me was deciding to study art at college and think more seriously about developing a practice and thinking about a creative career.
Art was always my hobby, and after having babies, I didn't have much time for it whilst also struggling to find work. A friend encouraged me to look at the end of year show she was involved with, I decided that it was something I needed to do. I had nothing to lose. I'm not going to go too much into detail about that turning point as I covered most of it in the previous blog post 'Meet the Maker'. You don't need qualifications to make and sell art because that is the path many others choose. However, I don't think I would have had the same opportunities or met certain people without college. I am still learning all the time; refining my process, taking on a mentoring program, watching online videos, anyone can do that. If you want to take your art seriously, have the space to be creative and set up a shop I encourage you to go for it. Your experience will be different to other peoples, and you may discover your turning point along the way. **I skipped day 10 'Artist Selfie', You can find me on my About page Stephanie Croydon ©2020
