Q If someone wanted become an artist, where would they begin?
A Clarence had this advice to give to those who are interested in pursuing a career in art: “If they feel they have the gift, just practice
and pray for patience. When pursuing art as a profession, just be ready when the opportunity presents itself. Get involved in all local community activities, which will lead to bigger ones. You will eventually begin to get people interest in your style of artwork which will give you even more pleasure in creating.” His words of inspiration to all is: “Never buy into someone telling you what you can or cannot do. You are in charge of your own destiny."
