I'm at kind of a weird point in my career where I have a LOOOONG time until retirement, but I feel like I've already met all of my 'career' goals that I set for myself. I have a master's degree plus 18 additional graduate hours in painting. I have won all kinds of awards and recognitions. I had a show at Spiva last summer....and I know I don't want to get into painting enough to sell a bunch of work at art fairs....
told myself that I wanted to teach adjunct classes and I am currently teaching at Crowder in the evenings. What happens next? Here are a few things that have crossed my mind: Do I want to try to go viral with an instagram or TikTok post? Do I want to win big time grants for money for my program? Do I want to plan an amazing trip to Europe with students? Do I want to write a book? Do I want to host a summer art retreat for high school students? Do I want to develop some art teacher professional development stuff and teach for art of ed or present at conferences? Do I want to do another summer immersion program? Do I want to try to get an art residency somewhere? Do I want to join council for MAEA? Do I want to paint more community murals? These are just a few of the ideas I am kicking around for myself. I wonder if any of them will stick? Sometimes just putting them in writing or saying them out loud will manifest something into existence.
