This teacher quit her job to become an artist and earned $85,000 last year from paintings, murals, and brand partnerships
Her vibrant, tropical, and impressionist-inspired pieces are the type of photo ops that fashion and travel influencers flock to. Last year, Bales earned $35,350 in revenue from her murals alone.

"Everything in the art business is a slow crawl," she said."Have patience and ride the waves as they come in, trying not to jump on ones that aren't right."
