Thank you for being so candid about your personal circumstances. You will go far in life because you're not too proud to do what it takes ( by taking a j.o.b.) to get to your end point! You are are a stellar role model to your young daughter. BTW, I loooove your prints you wear for your videos. So pretty, elegant and classic.

@@gloriafrancis7621 thanks so much for your thoughtful comment, Gloria 🙏 And I appreciate your compliment on my looks - I love me a good printed shirt and am always on the lookout for them 😄

Hi Darya! Great video, as usual. This is a very interesting topic and the job sounds great, even if it's not high paying 😊

[@PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski]

@@veronicainchauspe1673 thank you Veronica! 🌼

[@artbyramona]

What a fun new job! So many flowers to photograph and paint! 🌸🎉🌸

[@PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski]

@@artbyramona yes! I'm still on the photographing stage 😅

[@louiselamirandeart]

Thank you for being so transparent in sharing your story. Several points deeply resonate with me and my own journey.... 8 years as a professional artist in visual arts making almost no money... social anxiety... scanning personality....

Hey Darya! I’ve loved this video! So interesting to know about your life and experiences and a lot of your story truly resonates with me! I have taken a sabbatical period to focus on my art - trying to set up a business but not too demanding a business that it takes away the joy! I am lucky enough to have had a career already and now I am ready to go back to working part-time perhaps in a museum or art shop, even a cinema… 😅 - if it is within your interests and brings benefits its a win win in my eyes - and less money in my view at the moment means less responsibility too 😊! Your job at the botanical gardens sounds like another great option I would consider now! I can only imagine how much inspiration it brings you for your botanical art projects! Well, I could chat here with you all day, much love ❤️ from Italy for now x , Alessandra.

thank you for sharing! very interesting :)

[@PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski]

Glad you enjoyed it!

It’s really really difficult and I’m starting to think that people that find major success are just incredibly lucky or already have money to pay for absurdly expensive ads to drive traffic to whichever site they’re selling on.

[@SR-ql9he]

I think it's about having a commercial style, not everyone has that.

[@PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski]

@@YagirlM it is hard, indeed, I wish I could say otherwise... You're right, it could be luck, could be money and other factors. It's hard to keep going in such conditions but I think the internal light and the need to create is something precious that guides me personally. I don't know if I'll ever get rich haha but I would never like to stop creating, that would be the ultimate disaster for me. Let's keep creating 🤍
