How can an artist avoid the worst of them? This book is a guide for the reader through ten common problems that plague many professional (and want-to-be professional) artists. Noted artist, lecturer and author Loretta Alvarado offers the benefit of her own personal experiences as well as stories from dealing with many “shy artists”. Ms. Alvarado also provides concrete action steps to help those who might already be mired in these situations. Ms. Alvarado’s insight, eloquence and gently humorous explanations offer hope that there really is a way to overcome these problems…or avoid them altogether.
