Stay Humble Stay Kind - With Renowned Canadian Artist Andrew Salgado

"Never say never" Andrew laughs in this episode. We can't speak in absolutes, we don't know what the future holds, we are always learning and evolving. We are only human after all, things will never be perfect, things will never be right, and they definitely won't go as planned! But what if... things went better?! Hold space for things to turn out better, have faith that the wind is beneath your wings and is guiding you where you need to go!

Get into a daily routine of showing up for your practice. It will become a habit and your creative energy will come to expect it. When you show up daily for your practice you will continue to improve in your field.  2. Have good source material. It is so important to have a subject matter that means something to you. You will be able to connect to the work and so will your collector. There is something magical about our creativity, and that shows up in every aspect of our artwork.   3. Use good reference material. It all starts with the photograph. A good photo makes a good painting or drawing.   4. Capture your artwork to the highest level and capture yourself creating. If you aren’t familiar in this area and you can’t afford to hire a photographer try trading your services.   5.Connect to a creative community. These will be your soul mates and you will rise together!  Find ways to share your work: through social media, galleries or public spaces, ask for opportunities the worst anyone can say is “no”. Almost every opportunity I’ve had came because I asked for it. Questions!? We are happy to chat anytime!
