All I've ever wanted since I was a little girl was to be a great artist. I've practiced with so many mediums. I get exited when I buy drawing paper or pencils. I've heard from teachers and friends that I'm excellent, but I dont know if its truth or just being polite. I'm fifteen ad a half. Is my dream to hard to catch?

dont ever stop being excited about art, art is a language that trancends borders and nationality, you can communicate in any language, with your art form, remember degas said'art is not what you see,it is what you make other people see'
if you want some advice about your dream then i will give it, dont chase it let it find you. if you want to a famous artist for the money, then you can sell almost anything, if you wish to be famous for the work that you do, then that takes time and effort.
dont believe anyone who tells you that all the great artist only become great after they died, what they became was marketable as trends and fashions changed, please yourself first for if you cannot please yourself about your work how will you please others, being a sensation does not make you a great artist, it gets you noticed, i dont consider wharhol a great artist, but i know his name. good luck and keep your pencil sharp, regards LF

I think you're asking the wrong question.
It is VERY difficult to become a famous artist. There are no guarantees.
The better question is "can I become a good or great artist" "can I design my life so I get to make art"
That's different. When I was younger I wanted to be a famous artist. It made life very difficult because I worried too much about the "game" and business of art. I worried about how to get there. I made good work but that was a problem.
Some people are so driven that doesn't matter. They just fight fight fight to become famous. But people like that are rare. If it's you, good for you.
But if you have any doubt, you are better of designing a life where you can do the things you want. Learn to be a good artist. Decide if you have to make money that way. Cultivate your self and your interests. Then someday you mighf find that you're making art that people like, that gets some interest. It'll happen as a biproduct of how you live, not necessarily because it was your goal.
Make good art, make good choices. Things will work themselves out.

World famous is pretty hard as an artist. Especially these days. Opening a local gallery would be nice but why not start by focusing on a collection that you can show at the local gallery and work from there. Patience is really important. Luck.

You have so much passion for one so young. That's good and that is the secret formula to success. Your dream is not an impossible one. It will happen as long as you remain focused. Best of luck

only if you think it is. if you don't let anything make you stop believing in yourself and you're willing to make some sacrifices, go for it.
