Can creativity pay the way?
Yes, it can. To earn a living, you will be most successful if you are established in your field before traveling and relying on selling your art for a living.
Franklin Einspruch, at age 40, is traveling the U.S. and Canada in a 1995 Fleetwood Flair with his wife and dogs and selling his art. He is currently in Edmonton for a one-man art show. Einspruch has work at several galleries and also does webcomics. This is one RVer who was already successful before he began traveling in an RV. You can read more about him.
Art, writing, photography and other creative works take talent and persistence to develop your craft. However, to make a living takes marketing. It may mean going to shows, approaching galleries, and developing a Web presence. It can mean spending as much time doing marketing as it does creating your art.
If you enjoy some type of creativity by all means make it part of your life. Be realistic, though, if you want to support your RV lifestyle. It takes time to build a reputation and a following so starting before you begin RV travel is smart. Or, on the road, ease into it by continuing to earn money in other ways until your income builds and you can rely on selling enough to meet your needs. Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
