Hello,

What an incredible site! I have been here a couple times reading the posts, especially in the critique section, and am so happy to be joining such a wonderfully talented and helpful group!

I am 25, and have been drawing for about 22 years, and painting for about 6. I received a B.F.A. in 2000 and was hoping to go to graduate school, but have yet to be accepted into any. I am starting to feel that the academic path is not the one life wants me to take, so I am searching for other options. My dream was to get a masters and become a professor of art. But of course my even bigger, and I thought less attainable, dream, is to be a professional artist. So here I am! Hopefully I'll find what I'm suppose to be doing SOON!

Just thought I'd attach what I'm working on, a colored pencil piece in progress. Hope you all like it!
