I’ve always been an artist, but for years and years I was an artist  slash waitress. I think having a flexible job is KEY for creatives who  are passionate about making great work, establishing their voice,  exhibiting it to the world, and selling it.  All of that takes time,  energy, and creativity. I like to say that building a business as an  artist takes the same amount of creativity it took to make your art in  the first place.
