Dedicating herself to the pursuit of the arts, Violet’s passion lead her to successes far beyond most of her peers.
First, a full ride to art school.

By any measure she’s doing phenomenal for her age, however Violet has not been able shake her existential dread of dying a failure. She knows that commercial success as a fine artist isn’t about being good enough. It’s not even about being great. It’s about being seen by the right person at the right time.
