Struggling Artist or the Richest people: The Greatest Life is an Art Life

Samoan Artist Ione K. Birdman: Bone Carving in progress

of a Manaia (Mythological Guardian of the Moan Ocean)

If you're looking to get rich or be famous or get on the cover of popular magazines then the Finer Arts is not usually the place people tend to strive to be. Money isn't a driving force to the Fine Arts world, if money is your thing then a career in Banking would probably be something of more interest. Fine Art has been known to create platforms for voices, to lead the way intellectually, not just an outlet of expression, but the actual roots of a peoples culture. Artists create that awe-n-power behind almost everything people find beautiful from Architecture to Landscaping to product design. IQ tests are varied in their goals to define the great mind 💢 but the Fine Arts have always been a truer test.

"When someone is an Artist it's been observed that the person can often have everything while having very little. Many Master Artists are so skilled they can usually do a lot more than just art, might have other mathematical skills, able to build computers or program software. Many love to cook which makes daily life a FOUR star experience even if on limited funds"

"As a wife of a Samoan artist or Polynesian American artist things are different from being and American Artist, its a duty by those who are born with the talent. Polynesians are very strong minded about preservation and the artists are the keepers of our culture, the tattooist, the performance dancer, the carvers and jewelers, all and many more are our keepers 👯" 

"I walk through the house and all I see is taste its like living with a person who can just do anything. His studio is like walking through a Government owned Museum. It gets a bit intimidating at times wondering what else he can do if he had more funds. When we were young and with little to call our own there was always the amazing food and he himself was always bright-eyed. He didn't worry about the future, because he could create the future"

There is a long history of financially struggling artists who indeed have had the fullest and richest lives but not always the fullest and richest credit or bank account. 

Listing a few perks of pursuing the Artist inside you

Artistic lives usually involve the privilege of mingling, and possibly the conflict, with other great minds and admired talents. An Art community of competition is one of the first major things an Artist gets pulled into. The US. American Entertainment industry and the Gaming Industry are large and vast areas of business and trade and being an American artist gives a person an option to be a participant.

Community standing comes with being a true Artist. When people think of a region of the world, they first think of the culture. For example when one thinks of Polynesia, they see in their mind, harmony and paradise, Polynesian dances and carvings, tattoos, and great food, a dream vacation spot with the most beautiful landscapes. A Polynesian Artist keeps that vision alive and is a pillar and father to the community.

What does it mean when an Artist is Eccentric

Well the definition of "Eccentricity" falls along the same lines as the definition of "quirkiness". The person usually has very centered behaviors, possibly based on the individual's own culture or heritage. Normally an Eccentric person 'can not' be shaped in the general sense an eccentric artist is the one who does the shaping.

What makes you an Artist?

The ability to create by thought and to skillfully manifest it, expand or enhance a culture, design the future, or illuminate the unseen greatness are often the main purposes of an artist.
