Welcome wayfaring web travellers. I hope this blog finds you well. My intent is to reflect on maintaining a military aviation career while freelance illustrating and the unique challenges that provides. In many ways I am an outlier in my job--I am a woman (currently about 4 percent of military pilots are women, and less in the combat air forces), and I am getting a fine arts degree. I have met many pilots who have interesting hobbies including music (many who have played for professional bands) but only a few art hobbyists. Those of us that do seem to think a different way. We see the big picture harmony when things go well and the dissonance when things don't. We appreciate moments for what they are.
First blog post!
