The content of your article, “The Art of Self-promotion for Visual Artists & Creatives” is very accurate. Creating great body of work without the necessary exposure is like keeping a light under a bushel. Biblical parable also illustrated the point very well in Mark 4:21-34 and Matthew 5:15. – Yisa
Yisa, that parable is one of my all time favorites…’and let your light shine before men’! Thanks for sharing it here with us. I appreciate your feedback and visit!
My best – Lori
