When thinking about my aspirations for the future, a professional illustrator in the field gave me some wise insight. They felt like, even though I was unsure of my fiscal situation, that if I threw myself into the community of artists, I would be able to thrive with others that had the same interests (art) as me.
That person sensed me passion, and told me straight out that I "needed to be flung into the deep end with other artists, with a community, in order for me to grow". Then, if I not only survived but burgeoned in such a community despite existing under the pressures of art college, I would succeed above and beyond. And in a way, they were right. Though my current school, Durham School of the Arts, was an art-focused community, there were always at least a handful of students that didn't actually care, or hold the same passion. In the end it was a very relaxed environment, and it was difficult to connect- or even network with fellow artists within the local community, the onslaught of Covid-19 making it even more difficult. So what did I do? Join Art Fight.
