Description
I've always been a bit of a Jill-of-all-trades. I could draw with nearly photographic accuracy from an early age. in high school, I worked many nights as a nurse's aide. I earned my journeyman's badge as a USAF aircraft mechanic. I even navigated the bustling corridors of hospitals as an EMT. After the Air Force, I earned two degrees in graphic design & web development. Commercial art was a way to still be an artist without the starving artist part. Through it all, my most cherished title? Single mom. Balancing work, life, & crayon drawings stuck on the fridge, all while dreaming of a world captured through a lens. Ah, the siren song of fine art photography. Every frame, every play of light & shadow, beckoned me. But alas, dreams don't always pay the bills or buy that gourmet mac 'n' cheese my kiddos adore. So, I did the practical thing. Art, with its unpredictable nature, took a back seat, & I stuck with the trusty steady paycheck. After all, my trio of hurdles - time, money, & that pesky monster called fear - seemed insurmountable. Oh, that fear was sneaky, whispering tales of a starving artist with every risk I contemplated. Then, a glimmer of hope! A mentorship program filled with amazing souls emerged on my horizon. Borrow money for it? I mused, Okay, camera, it's just you, me, & a slightly thinner wallet. That decision, made a year ago, brought hope back into my grayscale world. Just when I thought things were clicking (pun intended), my trusty camera betrayed me. Missed shots, fleeting moments gone, & the cherry on this sundae of disaster? A mentor's feedback that I might not be up for the challenge. Ouch. Everyone has their strengths, & I had my unique quiver of arrows: unyielding patience, a steadfast belief in myself, & the unrelenting nature of... well, being unrelenting. My core screamed diligence, & it was time to listen. Equipped with grit & a watch me attitude, I delved deeper. The world said I didn't have what it takes. I said I had the right spirit. Through trials, errors, & a few choice words at malfunctioning equipment, I soldiered on. & then, the universe started to compose a symphony of I told you so's - awards, accolades, & nods from the very mentors who once doubted. Validation never felt so sweet. I made eleven sales on Etsy, mostly to friends & family. It's a modest start, but it filled my heart with joy & rekindled my determination. My photos reflect the love & passion I pour into my art. It was in those moments that I realized why people embarked on this journey. Setbacks, critiques, & gear malfunctions are just plot twists in my ever-evolving storyline. Today, I stand not just as a multi-talented maven but as a beacon of hope for every dreamer who's ever faced a hurdle. Through my lens, I've learned that with persistence, heart, & maybe a few borrowed bucks, dreams can, & do, come into focus.
