In today’s male dominated society, the art world can provide women with a solid income for their artistic endeavors. As an artist, women can pursue a career in fields such as fine art, graphic art, or the world of digital entertainment. These may all assist them in realizing their aspirations, which are common to all women: being financially independent, becoming their own boss, and experiencing a high level of job satisfaction.
A few female artists have made a name for themselves in today’s highly competitive workplace and have come to be recognized as career role models in the art industry. Among these career role models is Audrey Keenan, an Edinburgh-based Scottish artist.

“I believe success is not about trying too hard, but believing fully in what you are doing.
Manifesting. Know what your aims are, and visualize it happening as if it’s already been achieved.
Connect with people in your field and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves.
Trust in your intuition and invite your higher power into any decision-making process. If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.
Always check to make sure offers are genuine and if you are in a position to commit. Prepare well in advance.
Treat every interaction as politely as possible and with dignity.
Dear young ladies, Know that you are a powerful being who has a soul purpose. Offer no resistance and be in a state of grace, gratitude, and awe. Coming from a place of love as opposed to lack,” advises Audrey.
Art is about connecting with people’s emotions. Artists have the ability to feel strongly about things, and they might use paint and colors to convey these feelings. They bring happiness, excitement, and engagement to their communities. In short, artists such as Audrey are the heartbeat of our society.
Due to her distinguished professional accomplishments, Audrey has become a career role model for the next generation of female artists.
