Passion is defined as, "An intense desire or enthusiasm for something."
Artists have an insatiable need to create. I parallel an artist's career to some extent with an actor or actress traveling to Hollywood, taking a job or a number of jobs to support him or herself financially, and waiting for a shot on stage.
Since my leaving the graphic design field to pursue fine art, I have had to put on many different hats - taking jobs I would never have predicted doing in a million years. All unrelated to my field of expertise.
Taking the leap into acting, singing, writing, photography and art can be a rewarding experience but be prepared because it does have its challenges. I believe it's worth it!
Yours truly,
