Art and Fear (part one): Interview with Hannah on The Passionate Painter podcast

“I think artists make a mistake thinking that their work speaks for itself.

Your work is wonderful.

But your work needs a frame, and you are the frame. You can tell people what to think of your work. Because if you don't, they're going to pick it up from other stuff - like the fact that you seem really insecure.

And they're going to be like, "ok, I guess it's not good."

If you talk like that, you're saying, this isn't very good."

Listen to a thought-provoking interview about my own insecurities as a painter, and how I've learned to manage them, and what I've learned from artists who do well. RIGHT HERE.
