Artists and relationships
The life of an artist is not an easy one. No matter what form of artistry you dedicate your life to, website design, illustration, theatre or music, sacrifices must be made. Unfortunately most of the time these sacrifices come in the form of relationships. When you are a full time artist, even for some of us that only dabble in our craft, you have to work hard and long to become truly great. Even if you were born with natural talent, you still have to study the history of your chosen craft in order to become truly remarkable. This studying takes up hours of your time each day and even if you walk away from a project, you are still thinking about ways to make that project be your best one yet.
Most artists rely on their muse to fuel their creativity. The muse is a fictitious man or woman, resembling a guardian angel that brings out your highest level of creative perfection. Your muse becomes your mistress and you find yourself relying more on it than any real people in your life.
Being in a relationship and being an artist is difficult. It takes a special kind of person to understand that your craft will most likely always come first. It might help to get involved with either a fellow artist or someone directly involved in the arts community. Otherwise, you run the risk of neglecting your loved one; and no one wants to spend the money on divorce solicitors just because they chose their craft over a real, live person.
When you are an artist, it is so easy to become consumed by a single idea for a project. You worry whether things are in the right place and you look for ways to make the project better. If your art is your livelihood, you worry about paying the bills if your project isn’t completed by the deadline. If you create and teach art, you feel the responsibility of training future artists.
