If I were giving an art school commencement talk, this is some of the advice I would pass along.
The box to think outside of is not around you but inside you.
Humility is not necessary to be a great artist, but it feels a lot better in the long run.
Creativity does not start with the pencil, pen brush or mouse. It starts when experience in the world is imagined and interpreted.
The limits you find on yourself as an artist are the limits you find on yourself as a human being.
Art comes alive only when it connects with the viewer.
You must be your own greatest supporter, best friend and sternest critic.
The reason and the passion for making the art are more important than the art.
Think of art as a gift first--a gift to be able to make it and a gift to be able to give it. Once it becomes a commodity, it gets distracted.
Find something to stand in awe of.
