Change Is Good



...or so they say. I have left my job of (almost) 17 years and am embarking on what I hope will be a more interesting and lucrative path. I will be taking (starting Monday) a three month web design and marketing course which will, I understand, be the tip of the iceberg but which will, I hope, give me the tools to eventually do what I would like. I would like to work from home part time, allowing me to pursue producing artwork part-time. I might not get there immediately... and that's okay.

I'm never going to be a tech-freak. But I like many aspects of web design, as well as graphic and digital design, and I'm confident that I will have the skills (probably already do, in fact, on a smaller scale) to produce simple, clean, functional, attractive websites. Plus I'm sure I'll be doing some grunt-work for people who already have websites. Das cool! I don't consider this to be a "career move". I've never had a career and I won't have one now. I just want to be happy.

Here are some photos I took of my studio tonight. I need to spend more time in this room, and sink into being the person I am happiest being. YOLO!

  3. Smiling at my computer reading your words and seeing such great pictures of YOUR space. Warm and alive with your artwork. I read somewhere that those willing to try things without knowing the outcome are artists. An artist you are. Scary and exciting. So so happy for you. Doris and I wish you a year of discovery, of time well spent in your great (inner) space and future clients who appreciate your work and spirit.
