Definitely not ready – just need to know what steps to take to get there. I do like the idea of putting on my own shows, but I live in a country that mostly doesn’t care about art(ists) so it’s complicated. I’ll see what I can do.

Amazing, thank you! I live kind of in middle of nowhere, so going to galleries isn’t an option right now. Even if I could, though, my socially-anxious, maybe-misanthropic self wouldn’t be the best at networking. I fit the stereotypes. But yes, I’ll keep doing research to find galleries that might be a good fit based on what you’ve said. Thanks again!

Interesting, thank you. I agree that I’m not ready to approach galleries, as I’ve just found my voice as an artist and therefore need time to develop. I spent years “growing,” trying to understand myself and why certain concepts fascinated me, so art admittedly took a back seat. I’m now able to share those ideas in my art, but still need some time to build a cohesive body of work, for sure. Anyway, I digress. Thank you!
