I was talking to someone else just a week ago, who was almost convinced by one of her college professors that she had no talent, and almost quit pursuing her art career. Now she teaches at a fine arts college and at my daughter's after school program and she rocks! What a tragedy it would be if we gave up because of the arrogance of the narrow-minded.

The great thing about art is there's something for everyone and we don't have to be good at everything to give expression to what's stewing in our heads and hearts, and for every one tootin' their horn and knocking people down to inflate their own sense of importance, there are dozens of people with real talent whose work really does lift the soul's eyes to the heavens because it comes from their heart and not their ego.

Thank you! Your words made my day.
