<sim first name> is now a working artist! At least he's/she's working a booth at a local art fair, where patrons are haggling down the price of his/her watercolored landscapes. But the words "work" and "artist" are coming closer together. And that's a good sign!
<sim first name> has landed a spot in an elite local painter's group, and his/her portfolio is growing quite large! Maybe he/she should try building his/her portfolio with photographs instead of the original paintings....

7) Artist en Residence
Winning this artist residency is a true honor! Not everyone gets to work in an unheated barn loft for free. What a great way for <sim first name> to experience a slice of life he/she would never actually choose!
<sim first name> just hung some work in the hottest gallery in town! And it's actually his/her work this time! This is a wonderful achievement for any artist.
Professional illustrator is a challenging role. <sim first name> controls the final visual, but does not control the subject matter. Whether it's a famous historical figure or a cartoon squirrel, he/she is up to the task!

Workplace: 1000 Words Art Gallery
7) Color Theory Critic
<sim first name> now spends equal amounts of time improving his/her own technique and politely suggesting how other artists can improve theirs. It allows interaction with the greatest talents of this generation, even if those interactions are sometimes prickly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but money is in the eye of the appraiser. <sim first name> draws on his/her significant training to determine the value of fine art, letting others know that not every paint-covered canvas is created equal.
With a reputation like <sim first name>'s it's no wonder the museum would settle for no one else to curate their contemporary art collection. <sim first name> is a scholar and a master of unconventional work. That neon-boxer-shorts-displayed-in-a-bouncy-castle exhibit? Genius!
