ok. i mean, she's awesome...

There is this woman, Béatrice Coron, who makes spectacular cut paper art. She's someone I've admired for a long time. The piece below is one of her public art pieces.  Check her website out here.

I was just browsing her website and read her "statement" section.  It reads:

After briefly studying art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Lyon, and Mandarin Chinese at the Université of Lyon III, Coron experienced life with a series of odd jobs. She has been, among others, a shepherdess, truck driver, factory worker, cleaning lady and a New York City tour guide. Coron has lived in France (her native country) , Egypt and Mexico for one year, each and China for two years. She moved to New York in 1985 where she reinvented herself as an artist.

Coron's oeuvre includes illustration, book arts, fine art and public art. She cuts her characteristic silhouette designs in paper and Tyvek. She also creates works in stone, glass, metal, rubber, stained glass and digital media.
Her work has been purchased by major museum collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum, The Walker Art center and The Getty. Her public art can be seen in subways, airport and sports facilities among others.

OH! So you have worked random-ass jobs (like herding sheep!) and probably wondered what the heck you're doing with your life tooooooo!  And you've kept moving and look! You made it into the Met! The Getty! That's pretty cool.

Just wanted to put some posi-vibes out there.
