A Year of BIG Art

11/20/2024

I didn't see it coming.
Early in 2024 I made a conscious decision to trust myself and my art and just go for it.
Decades of hard work paid off and the stars lined up for me.

My business of 35 years went into a deep sleep during COVID. Freelance Illustrations supported my two children and me for 35 years. I need to work a few more years before easing off the necessity of manifesting funds every month to survive.

For the first time in my lifelong journey as a freelance artist, I poured myself into creating MY art. Which is very different from being an illustrator for hire. In 2024, I supported myself solely creating and selling my art.

It took a huge leap of faith to NOT find a 9 - 5 job - it would have killed me - after realizing Freelance Illustrations had decided to retire before I am able to retire.

It's been a year of great joy, freedom, and deep dives into creativity which has paid off - and paid my cost of living.

Oh! Now Freelance Illustrations has woken up and wants to join the party again.

Trust yourself.
It works.
