Become a Successful Artist
We are excited to have launched our Pure Artist Development Programme in 2024: The Pure Principles for Becoming a Successful Artist.
Pure founder and artist mentor Lesley Samms has designed this programme to help you focus on the core qualities that contribute to artists' success.

We are also delivering an enhanced level to this programme for Pure Members, including bespoke monthly activities in the portal, members calendar of events and the option of one-on-one guidance where required.

RESILIENCE
"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."
- JON KABAT-ZINN
And finally - to be successful we must never give up!
The difference between success and failure is acceptance, adaptability and action…
Building resilience is the process by which people become better at reframing thought patterns and tapping into a strengths-based approach to working through obstacles. As a process, it doesn't happen overnight, and even if you are already resilient, it is something you have to work at to maintain.
The seven C’s for building resilience are competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution, coping and control. If you start to invest a little bit in each area over time, you will gradually build a support kit so that when times get tough you are well-equipped to overcome them and build more resilience.

Juliette creates art with her camera and enjoys hand-finishing select printed images with gold or coloured metal leaf. She adopts varying photography techniques which include using a macro lens and a light pad, multiple exposure photography and intentional camera movement. She loves the entire photography process, from making the image in camera, to carefully using digital post-processing skills, to finally embellishing her printed images.
