โ€œIโ€™m assuming you want to be an artist for life. I can see that people in their twenties have a lot of anxiety when their peers are showing and theyโ€™re not, and I worried about that too. But I understand now that itโ€™s not a race and I wish I hadnโ€™t wasted all that energy worrying. In almost every instance I can think of, getting off to an early start hasnโ€™t been an advantage to artistsโ€™ careers. You probably shouldnโ€™t even get serious about showing your work in a commercial context until youโ€™re close to thirty.โ€
