Art Quote by Joan Osborne

“Being an artist is not exactly the most universally respected, or secure thing to do with your life. It can be frightening and you can feel that you're taking a lot of risks just with your own life, and your family's security. But the rewards outweigh those things.” quote by Joan Osborne — Download Open image
