I would bet Kristen Stewart didn't land the lead role in Twilight because her mom was a script supervisor for Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas.

My mom is a printmaker and my dad is a sculptor, and while they aren’t famous , nor have they gotten me any jobs aside from babysitter for their friends’ kids , Iadmit that the way they’ve chosen to live their lives has opened me up to a lot of possibilities.

My parents showed me that identifying as an artist doesn’t have to be tied to how the IRS categorizes you. I think when we hear of someone being a painter or writer, a lot of assumptions are made: that they live in a sprawling loft, don’t need a day job, etc. And again, those are true ofartists and tend to be the artists we’ve seen shown in large cultural institutions.

For most of my life, my parents taught their craft at the college level, but they’ve also worked in the government as a contractor and a handyman, to name a few of their many gigs. But never were they not artists. Similarly, I’ve worked as a nanny, restaurant host, tour guide, and administrative assistant all while remaining a writer. Again, the elephant in the room is money.
