AcoupleofyearsagoIgraduatedfromartschool.Aftergraduatio...

A couple of years ago I graduated from art school. After graduation I was unsure of what to do with my degree. I had majored in Illustration(*圖) and loved it, but didn’t really feel interested in doing illustrations for any companies. This left me with few options other than freelance(自由作家) and a nannying(保姆) job.

I spent two years working as a nanny doing freelance illustration on the side. It just wasn’t quite enough to pay rent, but I loved it, so I worked well over 50 hours a week trying to keep up with both.

Just under a year ago I went to a friend’s wedding. I couldn’t think of a gift for them and really didn’t have a lot of money to spare so I used my talents to create a portrait for them. It wasn’t much, and I hoped it would be a good gift. When I handed the portrait to them and they unwrapped it the looks on their faces was something I did not expect. There were joyful tears in their eyes as they cried, “That’s us! This is so beautiful!”

It’s funny because when I was in art school portraits were always my least favorite assignment. I hated drawing people and was always so much more interested in drawing little furry creatures. Once I saw the looks on my friends’ faces after giving them their portrait it was all over. I suddenly loved portraits and wanted to do more.

I now take portraits to every wedding I go to and have given them as gifts to the families I nannied for. Every time the reaction makes all of the hard work and time I put into them so worth it.

I’ve just started offering couple, family and pet portraits as an item on my etsy shop.
