I am An Artist:

Defining Success


Success can be a deeply personal concept, yet many of us measure it through external forces rather than our own values and vision. Understanding how you define success can help you align your actions with your true goals, rather than chasing validation that may not fulfill you. Do you feel like success is something that happens to you, or something you actively shape? Is your definition influenced by external validation, or have you set a personal standard based on your values and mission? The way you define success can shape your confidence, decision-making, and long-term fulfillment. Recognizing where you are in this process is the first step toward aligning success with what truly matters to you.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

KRISTINE SCHOMAKER


What makes you Thrive?

As an artist... I go where the ideas, feelings, mood takes me. Sometimes it's conceptual performance, sometimes it's mixed media, it always seems to follow documentation of some kind.

Art Deco Is Trending Again—See Inside These Reimagined Gems In London


According to Forbes, Art Deco is making a grand return, celebrating 100 years since its debut at the 1925 Paris Expo. Known for its bold lines, geometric shapes, and timeless elegance, the movement’s influence can be seen in everything from Miami’s pastel-hued buildings to London’s revived landmarks. With stunning transformations of historic spaces like The Beaumont Mayfair and The Whiteley, this revival proves that Art Deco’s allure is as strong as ever.
