I used call myself a dilettante because I didn't prefer one medium over another. I prefer to have choices and use whatever strikes my fancy. I truly love creating, making, producing drawings and paintings. A true dilettante does not commit to art. I like to think of myself as a committed artist. In the past I was a shadow artist and I was committed to being supportive of other people's art because I did not think I was good enough to call myself their peers. If it makes you happy, do it. If it makes you money, definitely do it. And most importantly, there are so many different genres of art, there is no need to think you are not good enough. Cultivate your own brand of art and shut off the TV.
