It all depends on whether or not you can transform your talents into corporate skills. They have the money to pay for your lifestyle while you hone and learn to market your art.



I did. I researched the job market, the glass ceilings, wages, advancements, what would be fun as well as utilizing my talents. I chose power utility design and became specialized in 3D designs of nuclear plants, followed by wind and solar stations. They have the money for the latest and greatest. I The wages were fantastic, I did have fun, my lifestyle exceeded my original plan and it set me up to retire early. I wouldn’t change a thing. It also paid for a lot of supplies.

i posted this here to share my experience of God giving me the chance to use all of the gifts He has given me, including common sense, thinking, planning, and He had people He needed me to meet where I would not have otherwise 🌹


I am an artist, but thats not all I am, I am a wondrous creation of Gods ❤️

Post Title

Art! On the Outskirts is the new project of entreating mountains via 

art on and beyond the canvas, exploring how faith, nature, and creativity intersect.

This project is a journey of discovering the depths of faith with art as a tool to sustain healing in my life.

I may not walk on water as Jesus did, but I am staying afloat through life lessons.

AND I AM HERE TO SHARE THROUGH MY ART, MY STORIES, AND MY BOOKS - WE ARE IN IT TOGETHER.
