It's not all that uncommon for artists to move from banking, law or finance to a life in art (Gauguin, Matisse). The real hurdles are financial, like how do you feed your family while developing as an artist. I decided (after ending my career) to open an antiques shop to pay the bills and paint in the loft of our antiques barn. Well, things had not quite work out all as I had planned and I have adapted to working more outdoors (Garage) than in a loft. We live in a very art rich, old money part of the world called New England and we have found and created some interesting things. I hope you will join us and enjoy us.
