My Passion for Art

My Passion for Art

By Uchenna Ofodile

“Artist don’t make money until they’re dead,” he said. It was a harsh though for a child to stomach, but in a one utterance my father dented my dream of being an artist. I should have cried, but I did not. I just retreated back to the safety of my room. Back to a reality of infinite possibilities.

I use to sit in my room and draw until the moon waved me to sleep. When I dreamed, my drawings came to life and I could not wait to wake up so I could draw again. I was quiet, but the pencil chronicled my internal dialogue. It narrated, while the paper listened. With each line I was transported from boredom to a majestic realm of pure amusement. I could be myself. The paper never judged, even when others did…

Artist or Accountant?

Artist or Accountant?

By Cici Polk

I’ve loved art my whole life. I never thought I could make a living at it, so I studied to be an accountant instead. Sometimes I doodle on the back of my spreadsheets. Sometimes I feel jealous that my kids get to take art classes in school.

What I really want to do is get good enough at art to quit accounting and make a living doing what I already love to do. As with any working mother, time is scarce, so an online course is perfect for me.

I hope you like my drawing!
