Several people have suggested this person hire someone to handle the business side of her art. However, if she's working a front-desk job, it's unlikely she has enough money to do that, even assuming she can find someone who understands the art market well enough to act as a business manager.
I agree, LW comes across as an elitist snob, and she needs to re-calibrate her attitude of "I'm too GOOD for this, I'm INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED!" Because she can be internationally recognized all she likes, but if people aren't willing to pay for her work, it doesn't mean a damn thing. She needs to look at her priorities. If she wants to make enough money so she can walk away and do her art, she needs to figure out what steps she needs to take to get to that point. If she wants to do her art and have people give her money, she needs to figure out those steps too. But she needs to stop this "I'm too good for this shit" attitude.
