Develop her marketing skill as well as her art and she will always have the big bux.

Yes, that mom is me. I am extremely proud of her work ethics and her talent, so I brag when I can.
And that is exactly what I am working on with her. She belongs to this place called IMVU and has been for years, and that's what got her started on it. She seen something she wanted and couldn't find anyone to do it for her, so she did it herself. As time went on, she started doing it for other people and she markets herself and sells some of her work, takes orders from other members, puts her work in contests and showcases to get some attention to it. She sells it for points, which cost money to buy otherwise, and they pay her, so she keeps her membership up and gets what she needs doing that. We haven't paid out of pocket in her membership for probably about a year.... she covers it herself with her work. She knows if she wants to keep what she has, she has to work for it and market it.
jgabra62 - you know, I really have no idea. She just picked up on it one day and went with it. She was pretty bad when she first started, but as she worked with it and practiced on it, she started perfecting it. If she needed tools, we got them for her. She needed a tablet, we got her one.. new pc, got that. She is very determined and pushes herself to perfect it.
She has always had a desire to do artwork, always drawing or painting... but it didn't start out well at all, and literally one day, she showed me something and I was blown away... it was like she transformed overnight. She is hungry for the perfection and all involved, that is her biggest talent, past that, she can do anything!
