The Cost of Creativity: Investing in Yourself as an Artist

You can’t paint without pigment, just like you can’t succeed without investment." How true this is.  


Much like the saying "better late than never," this couldn’t be more relevant when it comes to investing in yourself and your passions. Struggling artists earn that title for a reason—often, it’s not just financial hardship but also the reluctance to invest in quality materials or even in the belief that they are worthy of becoming artists.  


As I’ve shared before, I’ve spent much of my life searching for “myself” through art. It has been my lifeline, continually teaching me lessons—not just about painting, but about persistence, growth, and self-worth.


This blog is a personal journal of my artistic journey, documenting my experiences, challenges, and growth. It’s not about making money or influencing others—it’s about sharing what I’ve learned and continue to learn. My hope is that my story resonates with others on a similar path and offers inspiration along the way.
