This season those two little words carry much weight.
In October I was laid off from my full time job, due to the organization's recalibration of goals and financial duties. As anyone who has experienced a lay off can surely attest, it is stressful news to receive and results in a bit of soul "what do I want to do with my life?!" searching.
Cue the new work.
After a bit of re-orienting, I've jumped back into working- more focused than ever. I am in the studio almost every day now, and am LOVING it. As I transition into working primarily as a visual artist my focus includes several facets:
- commissioned projects (yes, I'm doing pet portraits!)
- paintings for upcoming shows
- small mixed media pieces for shops and galleries around town (see photo below!)
- facilitating community art projects such as THIS Artober event

| Nashvillians: Go to East Side Story Book Store and pick up a handmade book + pumpkin (bumpkin??) for your own! |

| Non-Nashvillians: Contact me at sarahkshearer@gmail.com to order! |
Stay tuned for more work photos and updates. My new route does lead me into some intimidating days, but I welcome the change. I love adventure, I have faith this will work out for the best, and I'm pretty good at hustling- so freelance life: HERE I COME!
