How to Be a Fine Artist

I don't think I ever had the stones, you know, personally to say I would want to be a fine artist. What happened to me in university is I developed this insatiable drive and motivation in the studio. So through that, I guess I started to take the advice of maybe some of the professors or like, okay, why don't I go to some art shows and meet some people? It's just this satisfaction and gratification that I give myself when I can complete something that makes me happy.
