I think it's only the art marketing world that thinks you need a genre or a niche that you can fit into for other people to define you and to sell your work. Obviously many people break out of that box. Artists still get known for their main overriding famous style (Picasso Cubism) but their other work is appreciated. It's your process not ours ~ do what you love.<br /><br />It happens in music all the time. One of my favorite singers from way back, Chaka Khan is known for her dancy pop music--but she had a true love and respect for Jazz and did exclusively Jazz albums (and concerts) that got hardly any recognition in the greater industry.
