I work part time as a Technology Consultant and volunteer at Community Action Fareham as a Scheduling Administrator organising travel for those who are less mobile whilst helping out at the Youth Club and IT Club at Portchester Community Centre, and Mentoring Youths at RKdia. <br><br>In my spare time I like to paint, and take photos whilst walking my dog around the castle. I would like to become a full time artist but can't afford to do so since noone knows of my work, and therefore cannot make a living.<br><br>Being a great artist is not enough in this world, you have to be business minded and a pushy sales man but I just don't have the head for business so where do I start? I have now created my own website, started a few projects that I would like to exhibit, and have a few pieces up for sale but I still don't know who I'm selling to. I'm just hoping someone will come along with similar taste to mine who will show some sort of interest in my work.<br><br><br><br> Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:21:31 +0100
