Hugo Crosthwaite : Fine Artist : Brooklyn/Mexico : genuine
Confidence comes from within, evolves over a lifetime and is the result of understanding who you are. And after a lifetime of creative ups and downs, I can testify that these are monumental pursuits. This is where art, design, publishing, filmmaking and writing about the fine arts come into play in a meaningful way.
Jeff Soto : Storm Clouds : Premiered at RAM Museum
The past 20 years as owner of Murphy Design—practicing design, publishing art books, exhibiting, curating, creating artwork and capturing living artists on film has challenged me to remain confident. “What’s your secret?” The confidence to do what I do is derived out of my love and respect of the arts. My personal exchange with the arts and artists have taught me the true meaning of authenticity, listening, learning through great exchanges with artists and being open to the challenges of the concept of failure.

Failure with success helps strengthen the confidence muscle and often promotes where to go next intuitively.
