Experience: Molly O'Neal Lunch Time Lecture

Molly O'Neal brought up many excellent points about finding a path in what ever you do in life, as well as helpful tips for design, in her speech to the Maggie Walker Art Lunch Time Lecture. Her advice on presenting yourself to those you meet is exceptionally useful in the world of art, as well as her advice to "love your art, but not too much." This idea is that inevitably, perhaps your employer, will shoot down a piece that you are passionate about. You should not only create art you do not love, but should keep in mind that it may not be as loved by others. I may implement her process of drawing something terrible, ugly, and that you hate in order to fuel better ideas when you are having drawer's block.
