Graffiti art..
PHOTO PROMPT – © Jean L. Hays
“Did you say you want to become an artist? Are you crazy? Is it even a profession?”
Sally had come a long way from hearing such comments from her family. For her, life wasn’t just about making money in a dreary and dull job. She wanted to follow her dreams and art was her passion.
Graffiti and street art helped her express her thoughts and frustrations about daily life. The day she was invited to the famous gallery to set up her own street art exhibition was when she realized that her art had the power to make a difference.

Art-work is very beautiful. When i wrote about ‘Understanding Art Work,’ i came to know what Art is all about and it is indeed a fruitful profession.

True, Alok, I remember your post. I think an artist can make quite a difference to society with the kind of thinking and dedication which goes behind their work :).

Forum
When people think that being an engineer or a doctor is only considered a profession they can be so narrow minded. Today creativity and innovation is considered so vital. Something like technolody was also creativity for someone. Everyone should always follow their heart’s calling

Following one’s heart is always not so easy. But yes, if the family and friends of an individual greatly support an individual, he or she can dream to follow their heart :).
