Joy thank you so much for sharing your struggles and career experience wit us. I truly understand your struggles and my hat off to you and your husband for supporting you. Many couples forget that they are to be as one and work through all things together.
I hope I am not out of place and others will not mind if I take a moment to share some personal things with you.
Some years ago I was in a motorcycle accident from which I did not fully recover. As a result I was not able to continue my career in the field I was in at that time. So, God helped me recover and opened the way for me to pursue a new career a career in the humanitarian field. I was in the humanitarian field for some ten years. The work was quite rewarding but I noticed that if I was to continue I would be putting my health at serious risk.
After some serious thought I decided to invest my savings in to art education. Many thought me bold for taking this step but beside my passion for art my reasoning was that I can take my work with my anywhere.
Being that I am from Europe I found an art academy in Florence. I spent 2.5 years, a year and a half short of the full four year program, at The Angel Academy of Art. I still have a few things to learn, color, in order to have the basics down but as we all know it is a on going process.
To echo the statement of others I to cannot imagine life without art.
What do you think about doing a few freebies for prominent individuals to get ones name out there?
Thank you again for sharing your experiences and your time with us.
