Key Takeaways

1.      If we try and preface our comments with; “I think and I feel” vs. no offense, we might come across as less offensive.

2.      Courage to potentially offend in your art, can open up doors for other people to discover more about their art, and themselves.

3.      Get yourself a team of cheerleaders. Your a-team, and be a cheerleader to a select few too.

4.      Cultivate spaces where you can speak freely and don’t let people’s offense overshadow the work you’ve done to be unfiltered.

5.      If you’re worried about being offensive in your art, check: can you truly be satisfied with not painting what you want? Can you protect yourself from every “offended” person in the world?

6.      Is there an unconscious aspect inside you, offended and reluctant about what you want to paint.

7.      Don’t seek out offense.
