I thought that I needed to climb a career ladder in order to be happy and have money. I climbed the ladder but the view from top left me longing to return to my art life. Soon after this realization I resigned my position and moved to an island – re-inventing myself as I went. I suppose that was, in a way, my version of a mid-life crisis. Since that time I have, indeed, had less money, but I am infinitely more happy with paint on my hands and thread & fibers stuck to my clothes!
