  • Mood: Sadness
  • Listening to: Evermore
This is to everyone who gave me so much hope and confidence in my work, to all those who have been by my side ever since I joined dA, and who have continued to watch and take an interest in my work. I want to thank every single one of you for all the support you have given me. You guys have been utterly BRILLIANT! But I have to admit, things have definitely slipped in the art world of Tracy Kelly.

Two and a half years ago I moved from Holland back to Australia to start uni and start a new life for myself. Ever since I can remember all I wanted to do was art. If I could somehow make a living off painting all day, then I knew my life was complete. So when I got here, I applied for some art degrees, both digital and fine art, made up my portfolio's, went to the interviews and got nowhere. I was so sure that I would get into one of them that, on the spare of the moment, I also applied for a Maths degree. It was my last choice, but it ended up being the only course I got into.

So here I am, two years later, just starting my final year of a Maths degree, with not even one piece of new artwork ever being produced since I started.

I've come here today to mourn my previous artistic life. Apparently a maths course is pretty full on! The only time I can pick up a pencil at the moment is if I'm about to draw a scatter graph or a bell shaped curve.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course I am in at the moment, don't get me wrong, and I'm still on a distinction average, so my grades are also quite good, but there is no doubt in my mind that I will some day come back into the art world, I just wanted to let you all know that I might be MIA for a bit longer while I finish this degree. I do, however, still visit dA quite often to see how you all are, and what you've been up, so even if I don't leave you a message, I am still following your art, and appreciating the huge amount of talent that's right here on dA.

Again, thank you all so much for all the support you've given me, and I'm looking forward to getting back to it once things have calmed down.
