Wondering what to do with all of these lemons I seem to be hanging on to. As a child I never had a lemonade stand. I wasn’t even given lemons. In my family there was no incentive for women to make money. I honored the image of The Starving Artist and had no reason to believe there was any connection between Business and Art. Now I have grown too comfortable being uncomfortable with just making due. I need a reality jolt—I need to set up shop. Can I move forward with my design experience for artists and use WordPress? Can the Artist out shine the basic WordPress templates and themes?
Trying to get out of the Box.
Generic is not a word that defines artists—artists need the opposite of generic. They are not generic it bothers me when I see their websites looking generic. If an artists goal is to be shown, found or collected there needs to be a way for their “extraordinary” to be available in the midst of the ordinary. They need to boldly stand out while still being assessable to a wide audience. The Internet offers this platform and I think there are a lot of artists that are not making the best use of it. It is clear to me that Custom Websites are “over” and I am ready to embrace the possibilities of WordPress themes and templates to show off one-of-a-kind personalities. Can I still make websites work for artists?
