As a kid, what was your dream job going to be? Mine was to be a nurse.

100. Oh, I hear that about those kind of students! How wonderful to have 2 artist parents...

And how interesting how they approached the "day job dilemma". Lucky for you! 👍

Some of my aunts, and uncles appreciated the visual, and other arts! Several of my cousins had various art, art related, or photography jobs.

Warning: waxing poetic. 😄
One aunt was an incredible wood printmaker in B&W, and multi-colored prints. She did the ?reduction method" for multi-colored prints.
Instead of multiple wood blocks she'd print the color w the biggest area first, then carve away for the next one etc.
She was so fantastic! Did etchings, several small run children's books for various ages. Later even collaborated w one of her kids. 🤔 I think she did the line drawings, and he added color on the computer. She also did some wonderful paper cut outs. Multi-talented!

She invited me to make art for 3 werks, and paid for the trip to her and my uncle's beautiful house in a small West Switzerland village by the Jura Mountains. She had a gigantic art studio! 🥰 It was anazing! I still have all the art I did.
Bc she had parkisans, my uncle stated doing the cooking some years back. He became quite good! One my favorite things was him bringing local, and even just over the French border village cheeses! Love cheese!

And she took me, and one of her grand kids to Paris for 4 days - bc I asked if I could take a day trip by train to Paris! She'd/they'd been there a fair amount.
This was my first (probably only, and that's ok) trip to Europe.

The Lourve, Museum Or'say and a museum dedicated to some Monet's biggest Watelillies paintings! The Musée de l'Orangerie. Omg, was besides myself w amazement, and joy!

Almost 10 years ago. What an adventure!!!
