            Thats so awesome, congrats! And totally deserved. Your Little Red piece definitely stood out of the crowd, I'm not surprised it caught someone's eye.

                Very well deserved success story here. You did the work, You listened to what instructors had to say, and you got yourself out there. You would be amazed at how many students don't do those three simple things. I'm so happy you got this deal in place. I do think it will be the first of many! : )

                            Wow, thank you all so much. It is greatly appreciated. I have really enjoyed being a part of this community and I know by sharing my work here and getting feedback it has helped me grow. Plus, analyzing and drawing over on others people's work has really helped me see and evaluate my own work differently. It all helps with growth.

                            @Lee-White Thanks so much and you are right, I think sometimes it can be easy to stay in "student" mode with the whole fear of rejection thing etc. But they can't hire you if they never see your work.

                            As Lee and @Will-Terry know, I am no spring chicken either here ...though my maturity level doesn't always necessarily match my age ie 40. I'm pretty silly but I work hard.

                            I have two very active little ones, ages 4 and 7 plus an awesome husband who works 60+ hours a week so the house, the kids, the endless laundry, dinners and lessons. playdates etc are on me. I am a former nurse with a love for art who can't afford a traditional art school, so in the last few years I frankensteined my education through SVS, workshops, and conferences. I have spent many late nights after the kids are in bed trying to figure out how to get from here to there and cursing myself for not being naturally gifted at perspective! 😛

                            So I know what it is like to have a ton of responsibilities to prioritize as I pursue my dream. It is not easy, but very worth it. 😃
