Carrol Boyes

"“Nineteen people may love your work, but the twentieth one will hate it and will tell you so; you cannot allow that to affect you. That may sound trite, but there is huge risk in letting criticism get you down.”"

"“My dream was to be an artist and to earn enough money to survive from my art … I realized that I would have to risk it at some point, or end up spending the rest of my life wondering whether I could make it”"

"Criticism is inevitable. Not everyone will appreciate your work. But don’t let one detractor’s negativity deter you. Stay resilient."

"Criticism is part of the process, but don’t let it hinder your progress."
