Sadly I usually have to tell any ladies that are interested in pursuing the art that I do to have a "Thick Skin"

I wish I didn't have to but for me personally who is openly criticized for my art choice, I had to learn how to not let people get to me. These days it's increasingly hard for artists, to "Break the Mold" of the common known art. and art of any type is open to criticism as many things, But I've been doing better at not letting haters get to me. But it took years of self reflection for me.

And yes others do approach me with an interest in my work, who wish to try it themselves and I'd never wish to discourage them but the world is a much darker place now. and many are very keen on trying to bring others down, But I'm not ashamed of the work that I do nor should I it harms no one. and I cannot force others not to see it with an open mind like I do, all I can do is keep going with a skip to my step and a smile on my face. and I know I'll receive such hateful comments under this story its unavoidable. so its to them I'll simply say "thank you." 😊😊
