I truly do not think most people know how old I am or how long I have been doing art because every time I do markets I get a ton of “keep at it! You never know where your art will be next, starting out is the hard part!”
What a humbling thing to hear over and over haha

I genuinely don't know how anyone looks at your work and thinks you're a beginner tho, you have such sophisticated shapes, compositions, and color choices
I say this in the nicest of ways, but something I’ve learned is that when the general public (maybe most? Maybe a little less than most?) look at art—it is all at the same skill level to them, and they are far more interested in the subject matter than anything else
I sent them back a (polite) letter that told them to shove it.
they were some shocked? I guess no one ever does that.
people can be so condescending to artists.

But the weird like, do you think I am a crone dressed as a baby or vice verse is always what does me in
I’ve had people so much younger than me imply we are the same age
You will never know which
I think I might be fellow crone baby. But my white hairs are getting harder and harder to hide.
