Woman's Work::Jessica Archer

"I myself lost 2 jobs during this pandemic. My last job came to an end this past June.  The world still being in the state it is in, and being older, getting hired has been quite difficult.  It took me almost a year to get my last job, as I'm older, over qualified, or don't speak certain languages that are fluent in my city. It was most disheartening losing security, a paycheck etc. But at the same time, I was so frustrated working for someone else's dream to be left looking again for employment. This time I decided to take matters into my own hands and try my luck at something I loved and was actually passionate about-my art. While I'm not quite an established artist and making income off my art yet, I have been very blessed with some amazing opportunities. I have had a portrait be part of a group show in New York, and a participating artist for a second time for Art For Life Chicago. I work everyday on creating art, learning the business side of my line of work, website, social media-lol it is a full-time job.  I believe everything happens for a reason, and believe I was given this chance to pursue what I love and to give back to others." ~ Jessica Archer
