00:00 Intro
being more on top of it in terms of really seeing that it's not just something that falls out of the sky, that you have to work really hard at it. Welcome to Advice from an Artist. Every year, Anderson Ranch invites over 130 practicing artists to teach in our summer workshops. We asked them to share a piece of advice they would give their younger selves. Here's what they said.
00:26 About Holly Roberts
I'm Holly Roberts. I'm a guest faculty artist here at Anderson Ranch. I'm an artist that combines paint and photography, and I've been coming for a long time, and just think it's a very special place.
00:40 Advice: Getting Aggressive & Being Proactive
I think what I would tell myself is to be more aggressive, to be better at managing the business part of it, not to just expect it to happen, to take more charge of networking, of understanding the business of it, of being... more on top of it in terms of really seeing that it's not just something that falls out of the sky that you have to work really hard at it. I think that's what I tell myself.

🔍 Key Takeaways:
• Individuality Matters: Your artistic journey is uniquely yours. Tune out external voices, even those of instructors and critics, to stay authentic to your vision.
• Be Your Own Director: The most crucial voice in your creative process should be yours. Avoid letting external opinions take the director's chair in your mind.
• Trust Your Instincts: When it comes to evaluating your work, trust your instincts. Your perspective is the foundation of your art, and it should guide your creative process.
• Advice as a Bonus: While advice from mentors and instructors is valuable, remember that it's an added perspective. Your voice is equally valid in shaping your artistic expression.

Intro 00:09
the first voice that you should hear when you are creating is yours. And the voice that tells you like, yeah, this work is done or this work is good, should ultimately be yours.
Don't listen to anybody but yourself 00:40
Don't listen to anybody but yourself, even your instructors, even critics, even curators, you know why you're doing this. And when you start listening to other voices, those voices ultimately find their way into your head and they become directors as you are in your creative process. And that's probably the worst thing that could happen. The first voice that you should hear when you are creating is yours. And the voice that tells you like, yeah, this work is done or this work is good, should ultimately be yours. Everyone else is ancillary. They're icing. It's a bonus effect.
Center Yourself 01:17
There is a reason that you wanted to become an artist and trust that reason. And yeah, center yourself in your creative practice. Take advice, for sure. Listen to learned, wise instructors, mentors, yes. And trust that your voice is just as valid as theirs.

Its Worth it 00:23
I think what I might tell myself is all that hard work is worth it. And to remember that it's fun even when it's not fun. There's hard days and it doesn't seem like you're making any tracks but you're actually getting somewhere. And then amongst all that work and all that studio time, keep that feeling positive
Play Hard 00:47
but get out and have some fun. It's good to, I mean you can't work every day of the week.
There's a combination of what's the right amount of hard work and then squeeze in a little fun.

Intro 00:00
No matter where I am in the world or in the ocean, like I can be in the water, I mean, I have to have a camera wherever I am. Welcome to Advice from a Artist. Every year Anderson Ranch invites over 130 practicing artists to teach in our summer workshop. We asked them to share a piece of advice they would give their younger selves. Here's what they said. If I could go back in time and talk to myself maybe 20 years or maybe 25 years ago.
Advice to my younger self 00:29
In high school, I'd probably tell myself that, you know, I think photo will be a good option for you. It's probably the only art form that you can do by yourself. And I would say they're kind of take portraits of everybody you know and love while you can so that you can have a record of the people.
Keep your tools close 00:48
I think the one thing that's been pretty constant or consistent in my career is me always having a camera. No matter where I am in the world or in the ocean, like I can be in the water, I mean, I have to have a camera wherever I am and within 50 feet of me at all times. So that has been kind of the one thing I would say for me is the best because I know, I remember times that I don't have the camera and now, now I always have it pretty much. So always have your tool on you.

For the past thirty years, Betsy Schneider has been on a quest to photograph the people in her life; her children, family, friends, mentors and strangers with whom she shares traits or life experiences. She often revisiting these relationships over time to capture, preserve, protect and proclaim what it is that we hold sacred. Her photographic practice could be described as ritualistic and fiercely devoted. Projects are often long-term endeavors, photographs accumulate over months and years, often resulting in hundreds of images creating meaning through repetition and time. Her recent work explores the dimensions of her own identity through photo/video portraits that explore common experiences and traits, defining herself through connections and commonalities with others.
Schneider’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is part of many notable collections. In 2011 she was named a Guggenheim Fellow and spent the following year photographing and creating videos of two hundred and fifty thirteen-year-olds, resulting in a solo exhibition that included a feature length film and a book published by Radius in 2017. Her current project forthcoming in 2023 as an exhibition, video and book The Best Girl on the Team consists of 50 interviews and portraits with people who have been the only girl on a sports team.
She holds a BA from the University of Michigan, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and an MFA from Mills College in Oakland, California. Since 2002 to 2016 she has been on the faculty at the School of Art at Arizona State University, in 2016 she gave up tenure and relocated to the Boston Area. Since then has worked remotely for ASU where she designed, developed and currently directs one of the only full-online photography BFA programs in the country. She also teaches in person at Emerson College and has been visiting faculty at Hampshire, Harvard, MassArt and Wellesley. She is a founder of FotoFika a workshop with guests that began during the early days of the Covid Pandemic.
