There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.
- Berenice Abbott (1898 – 1991)
To evolve, is to be a true artist...
Some artists get stuck in a certain style...out of fear or for money or for fame...Botero continues to create his obese figures...does he not become bored, I wonder...I am certainly bored of seeing them...
Some label themselves "artists" or "designers" when they are simply copy-cats, imitators...echoes...
It can be scary to evolve...to change...to stretch...to grow...
I believe it is a great danger to the soul not to challenge oneself...
