...so much of who I am as a person and the quality, progression and growth of my work is because I'm proud to be a perpetual student. Out of the idea came @designhouseprepschool, because as artists, we should all be perpetual students. Join me in this stance, proud that we'll never stop learning. Either repost this, or write your own, tag @designhouseprepschool and use our hash tags as we gear up for registration to open next week! #dhps #perpetualstudent #neverstoplearning #designhouseprepschool #creativeworkshops ...as we gear up for registration to open next week for @designhouseprepschool, I toy with the idea of being a student. To me, being an artist and creative is recognizing that I am ALWAYS a student and it's that curiosity that drives and inspires me. As I face the challenge of starting my own school for creative business owners, I look forward to learning just as much as teaching. I am a #perpetualstudent.
