Strengths

BE Creative!

The Artist Brand makes people feel inspired and unique. They envision. They create. They are always improving their talents. Everything they do is creative! They have panache ... they have flair!

Weaknesses

Don’t Be a Drama Queen!

The Artist brand’s bad habits could be drama, needing their own way, playing the “I’m an artist” card. Letting perfectionism cloud the original vision. Artists need to be careful to not let their creativity trump pragmatism and common sense.
