1. Artist do not create out of ego. They do not paint, sculpt, perform, shape, dance because they are bragging. They create out of a deeper need to express a vision, a shape or a feeling.
2. They are often fragile beings in that critiques can elicit harsh inner doubt in what they do.
3. Sometimes they must be reminded to eat, sleep and bathe if they are in the midst of the creative process.
4.They need stuff, stuff for inspiration, stuff to model with, stuff to create with. Art never happens in pure austerity. Organization of this stuff may be secondary to their process.
5. They may have a different perspective when they look at things. Be prepared for comments on color combinations, feelings, and patterns.
6. Anyone has potential to be an artist. They look like regular people most of the time. You never know if you are about to meet an artist.
7. Most artists have regular jobs, but wish they did not have to.
8. When you discover you have an artist in your life, do your best to support their strengths and their weaknesses.
9. Cherish the artist in your life, they bring joy and depth to the world with their creations.
