I never thought life would take me in the direction it has! When people ask what I do for a living, I am always amused by their reaction when I reply “freelance artist.” Usually it comes with a smile planted on their face and an “oh, that’s nice.” I think they’ve probably encountered more than one “starving artist” in their lifetime. And while there have been times I’ve questioned this particular calling, I know that I just wouldn’t find contentment in anything else. I love art. I love photography. It is the constant pursuit of mastery of both that drives me each and every day.
