Artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp talks about the multitudinous factors in creating a self-sustaining creative existence. Topics include definitions of success, scene etiquette, boundaries, freelance survival skills, reclaiming your time, community and self, and artistic values. These are field notes from the trenches of an active artistic existence that accepts no limitations on its possibilities.
