As an artist and an entrepreneur, it can be difficult at times to stay motivated and keep pushing yourself forward. After all, you have no one to tell you what to do or when to do it, no one to answer to if you decide to slack off, and no one to bounce new ideas off or to offer you advice if you hit a mental or creative wall. Over the years I’ve discovered a few key things that help me stay motivated, grounded and on track.

I think one of the most common questions people have for artists is where they get their inspiration from, and of course, every artist is going to have a different answer. In fact, you may even get different answers from the same artist depending on the days you ask or the mood the artist is in at that particular moment! There are so many things that inspire my work, so I thought I would share just a few of them here.
