I am a Mum to 3 beautiful grown up kidwith a wonderful husband called Gordon. Until recently I was a full time mum- mainly through choice. However in March I started working at Joann’s as a framer and I am loving it.
Before marriage and kids, I studied Fine art – painting at Camberwell school of arts and Bath Academy of arts, getting a BA(hons) in Fine Art. However, by the end of the course, I realised I wasn’t cut out for the ruthless world that is the art world and quickly drifted into a dead end job at the DHSS.(actually it was more like, I didn’t know how to get into the art world). So basically, Marriage and kids was the ideal escape for me but I wouldn’t recommend that path to anyone. Stay at home Mums, I have no problems with but I used it as an escape from the day to day battles in life, what a waste! I should have enjoyed my kids more, instead of fretting about life.
Now I am enjoying life. I have a job I love (low paying though, are there any good paying jobs in the USA?), I have a place where I can create when I am not too tired and I have a great family (they are a pain in arse but I love them all). What more could I want? Fame?
