Self-ambition comes from a few core values: dedication, perseverance, and resiliency.

These shape who you are as a professional artist.

Dedication is an internal drive to be better. Always striving to get to the next goal and setting the bar higher and higher,

Perseverance is an internal hope to be better. We can learn from whatever life throws at us because we keep coming back after being hit again and again, whether it is rejection from an exhibition or a bad review.

Resilience is an internal belief in being better. We can believe that the next exhibition, the next gallery, the next brushstroke will change our trajectory in life. We believe that one positive change can cause changes in our thinking or actions.
