Topic #5 "Who supports what you do as an artist?"

Myself, of course. I enjoy and like what I do, that is why I do it. My mother supports me as well. And my friends, and my sister, and my teachers. Those who bought my art, I like to think, supports me as an artist also. I sometimes do feel, though, that I am more expected than supported. Because of my abilities and love for art, everyone except maybe my mother expects some sort of artistic career out of me. I guess it is what anyone would do, but at the same time as wanting to make art throughout my life, I just want to seclude myself from society in a way that will not require me to meet new people and keep in touch with many who I only consider as acquaintances. I am naturally shy, so no matter how social I make myself, that thought will keep coming back to me. It sounds a little off topic, but I'll end it there; I really have nothing else I can say.
