How Long Does It Take To Become An Artist?
The Guardian observes: ‘The great Cuban-born painter Carmen Herrera, who turned 100 this year, and did not sell a work until she was 89, gets up every morning to paint. Her advice to the young is not to hurry through their 20s, and never to be intimidated by anything. “You don’t decide to be an artist,’ she has said, ‘art gets inside of you. It’s like falling in love.”‘
