I was in fashion for most of my career and in the last few years have tried to transition to art. It's a tough industry for sure, but I'm not afraid of hard work. I did a bachelor in fashion (a long time ago!) but don't have an MFA. I feel like even tho I have great response to my work (on instagram etc), I can't seem to get far in the physical art world. Like, I apply for things and don't get them, I wonder if I will ever break through. I see so many artists who have networks from their schooling and seem to have a big leg-up because of it. I just turned 40 -do I have to go back to expensive schooling to be taken seriously?

Oh and my work is mostly ceramic! If that helps.

Im not sure if Im posting in the right place but I made this website for when I feel stuck in my art practice- Ive used it for small exercises but also for like larger bodies of work. Idk if anyone else gets too in their head and cant get outta that space like me, but its teaching me stuff too! Lots of film and book recs etc. Thanks y'all
