What’s your dream job?
I’ve loved art since I could hold a crayon 🖍️. I had to struggle to be one and I still do, not the art making part, but the career part. As a little girl my parents discouraged it, it’s not very practical for putting food on the table, it’s true, but despite that I insisted, it’s crucial for my psyche. I need art like I need air.
Growing up I looked up to characters like Leonardo Da Vinci, an artist and a scientist, he did it all. I wanted to have my starving artist cake and eat it too. These days I hold 4 jobs. I’m a nurse, a mom to two toddlers, a painter and now illustrating my first children’s book with the Canadian Constitution Foundation.
Maybe we shouldn’t limit ourselves to merely dream jobs but a dream life. Just because we want to be one thing doesn’t mean we can’t also be and achieve other things. Sometimes achieving at the one thing means being able to pick up skills to really do the one thing how you really wanted to do it. #dreamjob #dreamlife
