Dear Artist

The Struggle Is Real.

The arts are notoriously difficult fields to break into, and artists are rarely given any encouragement in their creative pursuits. Dreams that once seemed bright, exciting, and hopeful have with time become dark, confusing, and desperate. Doubt begins to creep in as you wonder how much longer you can keep up this lifestyle before the pressure finally becomes too much.

You feel lost.

What''s an artist to do?

While each art form is unique in its challenges and difficulties, every single one of them has common threads that all artists can relate to:

• Imposter Syndrome
• Career Anxiety
• Financial Struggles
• Perfectionism
• Self-Doubt
• Daily Rejection

Whether you''re trying to make it to the top of your field or just need some encouragement to reconnect to your creative self, this inspiring collection presents artists of all kinds with a lifeline to hold onto as they face the harsh reality of following their dreams.
