EmptyEasel published a very interesting article today about discovering your artistic niche and style. Emily referenced it in one of our forum discussions. I found it particularly insightful for all artists to consider.

It got me thinking, do most artists even consider having a particular niche or style? How do these two ideas correlate with an artistic brand?

The author, Aggie Villanueva, defines them in a very concise way. She mentions how finding her niche was relatively easy but that finding her style was a bit more challenging. However, as she contemplated her photos one day, a moment of inspiration struck her and she was able to discover her own particular style as well. With that she concludes:

Your niche is what you know

but…

Your style is what you love

With your artwork, what’s been easier for you to discover, your niche or your style?
