I should have known that a long time ago, when I said "I never imagine supporting myself with my artwork", the complete opposite would occur. This is the pattern of my life. While I am not supporting myself yet, I am trying hard to get there.
I have built a body of work that I believe is unique and now I am ready to begin promoting myself. These seem to be the recommended steps. So that I don't forget, the following is a list of my immediate goals and next steps.
Finish by Christmas:
Write a compelling artist statement and bio. Document my work. Put together a portfolio. Submit to galleries.
Above all else, continue painting.
