Chris Roberts-Antieau, NEVER give up on your dream

Chris Roberts-Antieau – textile and mixed media artist

If is one thing I could hope to say to all of you, it is to NEVER give up on your dream. I was a C and D student school, I had to repeat the ninth grade, I was not recommended for college (I didn’t go..) and I never went to art school. Basically, I never learned what NOT to do (for this I am grateful eternally.)

I just had a voice inside that I LISTENED to. I really trusted that voice. I still do. Please learn to listen to yours. I guarantee it will take you where you need to go. Don’t be afraid!! (fear is bad!)

My work is about JOY. It’s about the mysterious origin of joy, and the wonder of childhood. (I try to hang on to that wonder with every ounce of my being!!) My art is really a by-product of my life and what I believe about being ALIVE. I seem to be cursed with a constant vision of the “big picture” part of life, which constantly brings forth the same truths – that we are all blessed with the ability to recognize and create joy, and that life is about that creation.
