At age 30, Kristin left her small and idealic island home and moved to New York City to pursue a passion for visual art.
You see, she had sold a lot of work at the coffee shop she was working at. And her best friend had moved to Brooklyn. Then, she won a scholarship through the community college she was graduating from. She got into a top art school. Then, she found out that it was the same school that her aunt had studied illustration. She chose, and actually stuck with a fine arts/studio major(she would realize later that "concrete" and "marketable" skills would not actually be provided). Will she make it in New York, or will her desperation for security push her to abandon her artistic career?
This is all about her first year out of art school. Stay tuned.
