Stop Sticking to a Single Style of Art: Here’s Why

There is a lot of feedback out there nowadays saying that if you want to get your artwork seen in galleries or even try to become “famous” that you have to create your own style. Hearing this a lot of people make one more assumption: this means you are stuck with one style for the rest of your life, too.

I don’t know who told you this, but I’m here to tell you today it is a lie that you have to stick to one style in your art.

Hi, my name is Carrie Brummer and here on Artist Strong I help creatives like you build your skill and develop your unique artist voice. Today I want to talk about the belief that being known for a single style means you’ll be boxed in and stuck.

You can be known for, sell or focus on exhibiting a single style of art you are known for while also mixing things up, challenging yourself, and doing work that isn’t confined to a single box.

Now it's your turn: have you always thought artists must have a single style of art? Why or why not? Who from history or contemporary art has inspired you? Be sure to subscribe to Artist Strong then tell me more in the comments below.
