Recently, I’ve had a few sweet, well-meaning people express how envious they are that I get to make art for a living. “What a dream!” they said. I smiled and nodded because that is what you do. But my soul shriveled up a little bit behind my eyes, because lately being a working artist has felt anything but dreamy.
this is soooo real!
And none of that work is paid. I hear you, I’m an artist too.
Emily,
I appreciate you sharing your experience. Everything looks dreamy from a distance.
You do beautiful work! Continue sharing it with us, and the world.
Thank you so much, Liz!
