| I've always had an affinity for the arts, although I hadn't realized the importance of it until recently. Being logic oriented and conservative, I think I put aside my desire for a career in art for a secure job with benefits, and also because I feared the fate of a "starving artist." On my 28th birthday, April 19, 2005, I resigned from my secure sales position at a Fortune 500 company. I hadn't planned on leaving, but something told me that I had to begin a new life as an artist from that day on. So died the life of a salesman and a hobby artist, and life began anew that day for me as an artist. I've always felt that if a person really desires something, they will find a way to achieve their goals. I want to be a master artist, achieve a modicum of fame, and subsist from creating artwork. For now, I am just beginning to believe that I can achieve 'my dreams', and I think the resignation from security was just a small baby step to a road of success. Only time will tell if I have enough drive and motivation to escalate myself to the level of success I aspire. Come follow me on my journey. I appreciate your support, and thank you for viewing my artwork. Jimi Benedict |
